Amanda Knox....Innocent American on trial in Italy or cold-blooded murderer?

There is a lot of speculation about whenther Amanda Knox is innocent or guilty. She is on trial for her life and the conclusion of the trial is near. What do you think the vedict will be? Do you think she is truly innocent or guilty, why or why not?

Italy's legal system is ridiculous.

why exactly is this story all about her? dudes committing murder too boring? i am assuming they confessed or something so its a lock they are guilty? still both of them and the victim are both story worthy. all the headlines i am seeing a pretty much all amanda with a couple meredith + amanda's thrown in there...

don't really know anything about this story so excuse my ignorance if i am way off base..

What a fundamentally retarded thread.

How the **** are any of us supposed to know if she's guilty or not?

The girl is from around here, so even though I try to avoid the news, I've read too much, which likely means I've read more than any of you- and I have no idea what the **** to think beyond "lol Italy's court system".

Re: Amanda Knox....Innocent American on trial in Italy or cold-blooded murderer?

The forensics are definitely questionable:

The knife was sprayed with chemicals for the presence of blood of which it did not test positive. They found trace amounts of DNA on the handle (Knox's) and trace amounts of DNA on the blade (Kercher's). They know it isn't blood DNA but something else (as few as 20 cells). It hasn't really been suggested yet but couldn't this be explained away with some other reason we don't know about seeing as it's not blood? One forensic expert on the news suggested laboratory contamination. Additionally the blade doesn't match the murder victims wounds or a supposed impression of the knife on the bed.

The investigators found a bra clasp 45 days after the murder with Rafael Sollecito's DNA on it after the had originally processed ther crime scene. In an enclosed space none the less. How do you miss that? The forensics here are questionable at best. How do you verify anything with bad forensics in this case?

Sorry you don't like the thread. It is about what people think not necessarily what everyone is supposed to know for an absolute fact. Just curious about other's feelings. Please don't flame me for it.

The prosecutor is pretty insane too. Not to mention corrupt. He shouldn't even be prosecuting any cases until he deals with his own ****.

I thought that the Italians didn't have the death penalty. In 2007, Article 27 of Italian Constitution was changed to fully ban the death penalty.

I'm going to need to see Amanda Knox naked before I can draw any conclusions.

I'm sorry- but I can think of few things more flameworthy than "Hey guys, let's talk out our asses about something we can't possibly know enough about in this thread."

Ignorant blathering about current events is best left for soccer moms waiting for elevators.

They may not believe in killing offenders, but they also have very few laws that protect citizens from bad police work. It's really easy to get railroaded by their ****ty legal system.
