Amanda Knox in Italy

The US is going to try to get her transfered her to serve her sentence, which would open the door for a pardon. I am not sure the Italian government is aware of that though. I cannot fathom how someone can be convicted of a crime like that with ZERO DNA!!!! A person shed skin cells and hair just standing in a room. Much less killing someone.

I heard about this on the radio today and it just broke my heart. I did follow the story for awhile and I was sure they would eventually let her off. I do believe she was railroaded, her and the boyfriend. Such a shame.

I agree...it smells like the docks during tarpon season.

I just read in this morning's paper that the local youths who gathered outside the courthouse shouted insults and "assassin" at the Knox entourage as they walked in to hear the verdict. (quote) Ugh.

I dont know the little I read about it it seemed as she was infact part of it. I do not think she is inocent maybe she did not weild the knife that cut that poor girls neck but I do think she was aware of what had happened and had a part in it. In addition I do think the media went wild but when do they actually report news and not rumor and opinion anymore.

I saw the interview of her friend, and she said during the case, the jury would SLEEP during the defenses arguement. They also said that when the defense would cross someone, the judge would be checking his cell phone.

OJ Simpson walked away free from a murder didn't he? And we all know he was guilty.

I don't think based only on the fact there was no DNA evidence - she could have been completely covered in clothing that was destroyed - that she was totally innocent.

For those who wonder about her 'constitutional rights'. She has no constitutional rights. Once you leave the US you are subject to the laws of the other country in which you are residing. It is an ugly truth but the rest of the world does not love us Americans. We are much hated outside of our borders.

I'm thinkin it is highly unlikely the Italian government is lurking on BYC.
