| 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. |

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. |

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. |

Here's part of an interesting related article. Follow this link to read the full thing: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/oct/08/amanda-knox-facial-expressions
| Quote: |
In the days and weeks following the discovery of Meredith Kercher's body, Italian police found no physical evidence linking Amanda Knox to the murder. But then, they didn't need it: they could tell Knox was guilty just by looking at her. "We were able to establish guilt," said Edgardo Giobbi, the lead investigator, "by closely observing the suspect's psychological and behavioural reaction during the interrogation. We don't need to rely on other kinds of investigation." Giobbi said that his suspicions were first raised just hours after the murder, at the crime scene, when he watched Knox execute a provocative swivel of her hips as she put on a pair of shoe covers.
Little about Knox's behaviour during that time matched how the investigators imagined a wrongfully accused woman should conduct herself. She appeared too cool and calm, they said � and yet also, it seems, oddly libidinous. One policeman said she "smelled of sex", and investigators were particularly disturbed by a video that first appeared on YouTube, shortly after the investigation began, which showed Knox and Raffaele Sollecito in each other's arms outside the cottage in which Kercher was murdered, as the investigation proceeded inside.
In fact, the video is anything but sexy. Knox, looking wan and dazed, exchanges chaste kisses with Sollecito, who rubs her arm consolingly. But the police professed shock. "Knox and Sollecito would make faces, kiss each other, while there was the body of a friend in those conditions," tutted Monica Napoleoni, head of Perugia's murder squad. A detective said he complained to Knox when she sat on Sollecito's lap, describing her behaviour as "inappropriate". Knox later explained to Rolling Stone magazine, via an intermediary, that she had been pacing up and down when Sollecito pulled her on to his knees to comfort her. The only strange thing about this is that an explanation for simple physical affection became necessary.
The Italian police's overheated interpretation of Knox's behaviour was a particularly pungent manifestation of a universal trait, one that frequently leads criminal investigators and juries astray: overconfidence in our ability to read someone else's state of mind simply by looking at them. This is not a uniquely modern error, born of pop psychology books. Shakespeare was wary of it. In Macbeth, he has Duncan remark how hard it is "to find the mind's construction in the face". It's a warning that law enforcement officers often seem unable, or unwilling, to heed. |

It said the drug dealer had given himself up as the murderer.
Why was there little report on this guy's confession?
If Amanda was one of the murderers, I am sure he would rat her out to seek a reduced penalty. |
