It's a good thing you added "I don't know" to the choices. I actually never looked into this until today, but the case appears to be very messy. I'm not convinced or unconvinced. I have no freakin clue.

Any place where I can get the cold hard (untainted) facts of this entire thing?

I hope not. Too hot for jail.

My mother is absolutely convinced that Amanda Knox is guilty, and even once said to me, "I hope she becomes someone's b**** in that prison!"

Personally, I have no idea if she's guilty or not.

Considering that a judge and jury spent (presumably) hundreds of hours examining evidence and listening to testimony in this and every other circus trial that TV ratings hucksters have picked up... I vote that the opinion of the sheeple and their shepherd Nancy Grace is irrelevant and demeaning to the concept of justice.

Call me when there are allegations of improper conduct and/or corruption in the functioning of the trial. Until then, I think we should let the courts do their jobs.

guilty...of being so purdy

The case against her was ridiculous. The police took her and her boyfriend in as suspects and interrogated them. Fair enough. But then, by chance they found a drifter whose DNA and fingerprints matched those all over the murder scene. And he was convicted. And there it should have ended.

But the police and prosecution were so bloody obsessed with the sexy little American chick, who fed into their deranged Catholic fantasies of a seductive murderous sex-loving she-devil, that they couldn't get her out of their sweet little minds and persecuted her anyway, coming up with a fantastical story to tie her and her unfortunate boyfriend to the guy already banged up for it.

It's quite extraordinary when you think about it. She had known her boyfriend for just a week, and yet she managed to persuade him to commit a gruesome murder with her, and also managed to rope in a complete stranger just on the off chance that he was passing by! Most sexual murders committed by pairs come into being after a considerable time of fantasing and planning. It just didn't make much sense. The forensic evidence against her was shown to be worthless, and really, there was no way she should have been found 'guilty beyond reasonable doubt.'

She was guilty of being being a woman who liked sex in a country obsessed with Madonnas and Whores. She was guilty of doing cartwheels out of anxiety (she was an athletic 20 year old) while she whiled away the time in the police station (clearly the actions of a murderer). She was guilty of being hot. And she was guilty of being an American. Oh yeah, and she was guilty of confessing to all sorts of buggery while she was being bashed around the head by her overzealous inquisitors, while suffering sleep deprivation.

But the one who is guilty of the murder is already doing 16 years in gaol for the crime.

What I can't get over was that the DNA of AK and her BF were not in the room where the murder took place. But that other guys was all over it. Case closed. End of story.

I think there is enough evidence to not only say there is reasonable doubt, but to say that she is innocent.
