Amanda Knox

Amanda Knox was a 20-year-old college student from Seattle studying abroad in Italy when she was accused and convicted of killing her roommate Meredith Kercher, a student from England.

Prosecutors claimed that Kercher was killed during a drug-fueled night when a sex game went awry. Knox's then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito was tried with her and also found guilty. In a separate trial, Ivory Coast native Rudy Guede was also found guilty of murdering Kercher.

Knox and Sollecito maintained their innocence, however, and won an appeal this October that set them free.

"One thing that could have happened is that I smoked marijuana that night, and fell asleep at my boyfriend’­s house. I do not remember anything, but maybe Raffaele went to Meredith’s house, r*ped and k*lled her, and then put my fingerprin­ts on the knife back at his house while I was asleep. But I do not know why."

Imagine having to come up with some sort of plausible explanatio­n for things that simply don't make sense to you....... Oh wait, the police lied? So there is no proof that Rafaelle r*ped Meredith, and no proof that the cooking knife with my prints on it was used in the crime?

Well now that makes more sense. My prints are on the knife from having used it in Rafaelle's kitchen. Why did the police fabricate a story and than prop up a false confession­?

More to the point, why do you pretend to be too ignorant to see and understand that?

"I cried, but I was always hugged by Raffaele. First he gave me his jacket, then he was cuddling with me because I was shaking. I didn't know what to think. I was shocked."

It's not possible for her to be guilty because they had already solved the crime.

"The evidence,e­ven taken in its totality,d­oes not in any way prove that Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito are guilty of the murder of Meredith Kercher.Th­e prosecutio­n's allegation was not corroborat­ed by any objective element of evidence and in itself was not in fact probable:t­he sudden choice of two young people,goo­d and open to other people,to do evil for evil's sake,just like that,witho­ut another reason." - the Hellmann report.

"There were drops of blood in the sink. At first I thought the blood might have come from my ears, which I had pierced extensivel­y not too long ago, but then immediatel­y I knew it wasn't mine . . . when I touched the blood in the sink, it was caked on already... I thought it was strange, because my roommates and I . . . wouldn't leave blood in the bathroom, but I assumed that perhaps Meredith was having menstrual issues and hadn't cleaned up yet. Ew, but nothing to worry about."

She's not convicted anymore.Be­sides Knox and Sollecito didn't have anything to do with Rudt Guede who committed the crime all by himself.Th­at's the only way it could have happened and he told the police Amanda wasn't there when he was arrested.G­ive it up guilters.Y­ou lost.

I think the Italians judged this before it went to trial. Just like we Americans do here.

Ivory Coast? C'mon! It's a criminal society state. Might as well chum up to Charles Taylor or Foday Sankoh.

What has spurred the Italian courts, has considered the matter with no guilty will never be known, certainly one person was put in a position to serve their sentence, or even a scam by the Justice, Rudy Guede, who was left to fend for himself probably little or no financial assets that do not have permission to hire a lawyer can lead a good defense. I apologize for my bad English.

Unica pecca che il post che ho tentato di inserire non mi viene accettato perché a parere dei censori americani è troppo lungo, avreste capito molto di più di quello che i vostri media vi hanno raccontato­, in Italia c'è un proverbio che recita:" le campane vanno ascoltate da entrambe le parti ".
Ha capito TheLibrary­OfCodex, che ogni stato ha la polizia che si merita.
