Amanda Knox

So Amanda Knox was found guilty.
Should we really take that seriously? After all, Italy is the country that sent some scientists to prison for manslaughter for NOT predicting an earthquake.

More fish - I remember thinking Guede didn't do it, from my reading at the time, but forgot the whys.

I just looked him up to see what he said about it, and ... it sounds straight to me.

Maybe he did, but I've doubts there too.

If the Kerchers succeed in sending Raffaele back to prison, or succeed in stealing his inheritance, I hope someone digs up Meredith's corpse and runs it through a wood chipper.

I have not followed all the twists and turns very closely. I assume, because they found her guilty, after checking and rechecking the evidence, she has to bear guilt. Justice is served.

You freaks who assume people are guilty without having any idea what you are talking about are really, really repugnant.

I mean, you aren't as bad as the Nazis were. It's not like you are murdering millions of innocent people. But I'd have to say that on a moral level you're pretty close to scum like Bernie Madoff.

Seriously, what kind of freak goes around saying he assumes people are guilty when he doesn't have the first clue what he is talking about?

As for justice being served, that'll happen on the day Guede is set free after having served only the lightest of sentences.

You're a freak who gets off on demonizing innocent people.

The European Court of Human Rights will overturn it, and order Italy to pay her and Raffaele many millions of Euros. In the meantime, Amanda will remain safe here in the US.

I'm worried about Raffaele though. He might end up back in prison, and the Kercher slime might succeed in stealing his inheritance.

LOL!

Guede had a history of breaking in through windows, using a MO exactly identical to the one Kercher's killer used to break in.

Guede had a history of carrying a knife during his breakins, and he pulled his knife on a guy when he woke up and found Guede in his bedroom one night.

Guede left his handprint under Kercher's corpse, in Kercher's blood.

Guede left his DNA inside Kercher's vagina. (Note that the evidence shows that Kercher was raped after her throat was cut, but before she died.)

Guede left his DNA on the purse that Meredith's money was stolen from.

Why am I not surprised to see you linking a known hate site?

I bet you frequent white supremacist sites too.

The guy doesn't strike me as bright enough to be a nazi or anything like that. More like a demokkkrat or kkklansman or some such...

@oralloy,

It's not like they made a snap judgement. They have spent literally years making the determination that she is guilty. I think you saw her photograph and fell in love and want to protect her. Open your eyes.

One thing I'd mention is that 24 - 26 or thereabouts is not close to too late to start off in some new direction in life. If Amanda Knox does have some sort of a flair for languages, I'd advise her to start off on one which is likely to still be here in another 20 years and has some sort of real culture and literature to it, possibly French, German, or Russian. I don't picture anybody speaking Italian or Bantu or anything like that 20 years from now.

I've been reading a story about a guy who made a total career change starting around age 26 and made a hell of a go at it, i.e. Quanah, the last war chief of the Comanches who watched the hunter/gatherer life of the plains die and then made it on his own in the white man's world.

They've spent years covering their own incompetence and stupidity.

Nonsense. They haven't spent even 10 seconds considering the evidence (which has been clear from the beginning that Amanda and Raffaele are innocent).

There are many repugnant aspects of this case. One of them is people who falsely accuse others of harboring sexual thoughts whenever they try to defend the victims of horrible atrocities.

Normally such an outrageous accusation earns retaliation in the form of vicious slander against Meredith Kercher, but I guess at the moment the accusation seems pretty small potatoes compared to the other outrages being perpetrated.

My eyes are open. If anyone is ever ready to talk evidence, I'm here waiting.

It'll be a pretty big surprise if, after four years of all my opponents going out of their way to avoid ever addressing any of the evidence, someone actually wants to address the evidence. I'm certainly not going to hold my breath.

But if a discussion of evidence actually happens, I'm ready for it.

If that is what the Italian officials were trying to do, they didn't do a very good job of it.

Not counting opening and closing arguments, this latest appeal lasted only two days. One of those two days was devoted entirely to what a ghost said at a transvestite seance. The other day was occupied by spending millions of euros to prove that Amanda used a knife to slice some carrots.

There actually are people with brains and talent in Italy. I'm sure Germany will be just as happy to take Fabarm, Caesar Guerini, Fiat, Ferrari etc. as Texas is taking in Magpul and other US firearms manufacturers.

How many persons got the death penalty in the USA, who were totally innocent? (The earthquake trial was at a lower court.)

Way too many. And there was one recent case in Texas where they fully knew the guy was innocent, and executed him anyway. I used to have that one in my sig line, and may well again in the future.

BTW, I have a new sig. My last one wasn't aggressive enough.

However, I really hope you are not using one injustice to justify another. That can only result in a disservice to the victims of both injustices.

The only right thing to do is oppose all injustice.

Good, Italy is a beautiful country. If you went there you wouldn't appreciate it, pearls before swine. While you're at it, stay out of Britain.

It sure would be nice if someone fed Kercher's corpse through a wood chipper already.

Indeed, according to Italian media, Sollecito was stopped by police in an area between Udine and Treviso, close to the borders of Austria and Slovenia.
