Amanda Knox Verdict
 

Moments from the final verdict... Do you believe her story? Why or why not?

--
During her final statement to the court in pleading for her freedom today, Knox said Kercher was her friend, someone she "shared my life with.. She cared for me."

Kercher's mother downplayed their friendship.

"I don't think they were that close... Amanda only got there in the beginning of October and Meredith was murdered on the first of November," Arline Kercher said. "I think they were friendly, but not that close."

The family remembered Meredith Kercher. "Mez was just a lovely girl ... she was always there for everyone," Stephanie Kercher said.

Arline Kercher cited a line in a story she read about the murder saying, "I think it happened to Meredith because she was all that they weren't." .. read more..

what was the motivation for the murder?

id loved to be her prison guard

i still need to watch that made for tv movie about this starring Hayden Panettiere as Amanda. if Amanda didn't do the deed herself...she was surely involved/behind it.

Guilty whore!

It's coming 3.30pm ET :2 cents:

I never got the sense that she was guilty. But I admit I havent followed it much.

Death by stoning

I'd have to see her naked to render an adequate opinion.

here is a live stream of the court http://www.mediaite.com/online/watch...reaming-video/

Hmmmm.....

Yeah, she never seemed guilty.

wow

all you'd be cryin too.. imagine THAT pressure

her passport expired.. so wtf's up with that..they said she couldn't just bail

she was innocent but her smugness made them make her guilty the 1st time

Amanda knox not guilty!!!!!!!

walks free

Good for her. Seems like they did the right thing by setting her free.

Should we get a pool going on how long before Vivid offers her $1 min to make a porno? :1orglaugh

Its a great week for wrongly jailed Americans in foreign countries. Knox and Hikers

deosnt surprise me

this is where she blew it in the beginning...her bitchy ass smug attitude. i bet she looks back on that now in total remorse. maybe she needed her fat slice of humble pie

We should have sent a SEAL team in to get her. Fuck Italy.

it's more like she is emotionally retarded, not smug. read the rolling stone article about it.

I'll give her $10 a min ..... 30 bucks for a good piece of ass, sounds like a deal to me.

IMHO we cant expect kids like her to know not to act a certain way, or to be tactful in every possible situation. As soon as that tape of her kissing her boyfriend at inappropriate times was looped a million times on the news, it was pretty clear that this girl was not too mature yet. I guess some saw it as if she was cold hearted and guilty as can be.

They were convicted in the Media first, then the court. When they sat back and looked at the evidence, it was clear it was flimsy at best.

The only motive was dreamed up by the Media.

Good, for the 2 of them. I hope they sell their stories and gets something back in financial terms for the last 5 years. Repairing the emotional damage done to them will be harder.

Fuck me! Yeah and O.J. Simpson is innocent too. Sheesh!

Doesn't seem to me there isn't any evidence against her. Her DNA was at the scene. Well, duh. That proves she was there. Nothing else.

Get busy livin, or get busy dyin.

Minimum Amanda Knox helped clean up the murder scene hence her buying bottles of bleach at 6 in the morning. She had been waiting outside the shop for a while for it to open.

Did she kill her? Fucks knows but she sure as hell helped cover up what happened.

Maybe she just wanted to go blonde, really really bad.

If she had been Italian in the US she would be on death row.

I believe she is innocent. The real killer, a negro, has already been convicted and is safely behind bars.

100% agree, the local prosecutor was hell bent on a conviction no matter what. When they finally got an independent group to review the physical evidence, there was zero dna or other physical evidence linking Amanda to the crime scene. All the evidence at the crime scene pointed to one man, Rudy Guede and he's now serving 16 years in prison for the murder.

If you aren't familiar with the case, watch this. http://abc.go.com/watch/2020/SH55902...da-knox-appeal

Its funny, you're the one always telling us to never trust what the gov says, yet once again you are gullible and have fallen for this lie about the "bleach". There was never any purchase of bleach by Amanda or Rafael and they were never waiting outside any store at 6 in the morning. The prosecution and police have since recanted their story of this and nothing was presented at trial of this.

"Lie--Amanda Knox was seen waiting at the store the morning after Meredith was murdered, waiting to buy bleach. It was widely reported that the authorities had bleach receipts proving that Amanda purchased bleach. On November 19, 2007, Richard Owen reported for the UK Times that police had found receipts showing purchases of bleach on the morning after the murder. The information was specific: one alleged purchase was made at 8:30, and a second was made at 9:15. No receipts were ever found. Then, in a November 25, 2007, report, Owen quoted an apparently official source as saying that the entire cottage, except for Meredith's room and the bathroom she shared with Amanda, had been "thoroughly cleaned with bleach."

It was reported that Amanda and Raffaele were caught by surprise that morning standing on the porch of the cottage with a mop bucket and bleach when the Postal Police arrived.

Truth--Amanda never purchased bleach. No receipts were ever presented at trial. Amanda and Raffaele weren't caught by surprise. In fact, Raffaele had already called the police to report a possible break in. The mop bucket at the cottage was investigated and no evidence was ever presented in regard to any mop bucket. This story was told around the world. This lie is still being told.

There have also been reports that Raffaele purchased bleach and that receipts were found in his apartment showing proof of this purchase. Once again, this is simply not true. Raffaele's apartment was thoroughly searched. Receipts were found in his apartment but none of the receipts indicated a purchase of bleach. The police took video of the receipts that were found.

The prosecution presented no evidence at trial that anyone cleaned the cottage with bleach, Bloody footprints from Rudy Guede's shoes are seen going down the hall and right out the front door. How could Amanda and Raffaele clean the floor with bleach, removing all of the evidence that pointed at them while leaving all of the evidence that pointed to Guede completely untouched? This theory is simply nonsense."

This isn't a FINAL verdict, or a RETRIAL, the Italian police were shown to be wanting as regards to collecting DNA. The original conviction therefore had to be overturned. If new evidence against Knox is presented she can be extradited to face a retrial in Italy. The US might not do that so good advice for Knox is never leave the USA as you might be in the wrong place at the wrong time when the smoking gun turns up.

yeah I'd be all over a 24 hour expedited passport service if I were her.

She won't be tried again. Prosecutor Menini is currently in the middle of his own trial as he's been charged with misconduct in a previous case and he'll most likely be found guilty and spend some his own time in prison. I can't imagine any other country where the lead prosecutor can be going through is own trial while prosecuting a high profile case.

Interesting how its viewed in different countries.
I see most americans here think she is innocent but many people here are suprised at the result.
heres a copy of a post made on a UK board ...
"just goes too prove that yanks can buy there way out of anything.......what about the poor victim and her family...this is justice by the dollar and a media stampede from the americans...... there was ten thousand pages proving there guilt....."

Guess I am out of the loop. Who was she accused of killing? Never heard of her.
