Anyway, in the new promo film, Knox says, 'Either I'm a psychopath in sheep's clothing, or I am you.' And she's certainly not me, so...

Some people feel that her boyfriend's dress sense, on show in those startling Toronto airport pictures, doesn't do her credibility any favours. The boyfriend is the son of the owner of the West Seattle Herald, which publishes her weekly column.

an ad for this documentary popped up on my facebook feed. i opened up the comments section and wow, were many of the comments special

would SUCK to be kerchers parents. ugh. no closure.

i am assuming on eof the 4-5 suspects might have done it or KNOW who did it but we will never know.

whole case was a complete **** show though, for better or worse i feel if this happened in the states it would have been executed far more fluidly just not sure if they would have got the right person

This reads like a ridiculous movie, can't believe it's real life.

The almighty and all knowing Knox PR Campaign flourishes their superpowers once again, dumping their huge bags of money on the desks of Netflix to buy a documentary to continue to persuade the public in America she is innocent.

Can't wait to see this.

It blows my mind that you guys still care so much about this.

Oh, it gets even better, or rather worse. Knox's lead defence attorney, Carlo dalla Vedova (probably recommended by the Sollecitos) is a mob lawyer who acted for the capo of the Montreal Cosa Nostra, Vito Rizzuto, in the notorious Messina Bridge affair. The mafia were bidding to build a bridge from mainland Italy to Sicily as a gigantic money-laundering scam, and public opposition was so strong that it fell through, but dalla Vedova represented a five-man syndicate headed by Rizzuto.

All five members of the syndicate had arrest warrants issued against them by a Roman judge on grounds of money laundering, and the only one the Italians didn't arrest was Rizzuto, because the US already wanted him for complicity in a mafia triple murder in Manhattan, for which he was given eight years and served four in the Florence federal supermax in Colorado.

Rizzuto's consigliere or deputy was one Rocco Sollecito, a native of Bari in Italy (Raffaele Sollecito's hometown), where he spent half his time and salted away his racketeering fortune in real estate. Not long ago Rocco was shot dead in his car in Montreal, as part of an ongoing gang war in those parts. A few years back a telephone intercept by Italian police, just before they arrested and deported Rocco on a racketeering charge, caught him ordering a mob hit in Montreal, but because he used the usual 'mafia code', not naming names and just saying, 'Shame if the guy got whacked right outside his house,' it wasn't admissible, even though a rival gang member did get shot, in his car, right outside his house, a few days later.

Rocco bore a distinct family resemblance to Raffaele Sollecito's father Francesco, and it's rumoured they were cousins.

Then of course you've got Francesco, on a tapped phone line during the Kercher investigation, threatening to run police officers over with his car and conspiring to get certain detectives moved off the case and bragging, 'Money makes water flow uphill.' What kind of person says that kind of thing? (Clue: it rhymes with raffia.)

Yah nobody cares about the mafia conspiracy stuff. Any idea if she's been murdering lately?

Just finished watching the Netflix thing and thought it was a decently flat piece presenting the characters in their own words. Of course it's leaning pro-Knox because "almighty million dollar Knox PR campaign" but still.

I'm sure the crazies are just waiting for this thread to get bumped and fill us in on the latest sensational guilter loon information they have, and watching it made me reminisce a bit on how entertaining of a time-kill it once was.

It's still quite amazing to me and unfortunate to think about how such a simple crime was blazed into a giant fabrication of a crime that never occurred and went international. Go media.

I wonder if Rudy will ever cash in his chips and provide.....something.

The prosecutor is a buffoon. In his interviews, he keeps stating speculation as fact.

And the Daily Mail "journalist" is a giant scumbag.

Agreed.

If this really was a PR thing from the Pro-Knox group, they did a terrible job of trying to paint her in a good light.

She seems like a weird girl.

she didn't seem weird to me at all.

man, i never even dug into cursory details of the murder but remember this thread and that it went on and on and on and just thinking that henry and the astroturfer and whoever else must be actually mentally ill to be arguing for so long. probably are. i just watched the doc. so whose side was henry on?

Get stuffed knoxy haters. The fox is free and in the Netflix henhouse. I am removing my pants and going to Netflix and chill with fn.

Didn't really know anything about this case until I saw the Netflix documentary today, insane that Knox was ever convicted based on the feels of clownshoes Italian cops. Zero motive. Bananas. Glad she's home, hope her life turns out OK.

Henry's marathon post of his view on this case breaks it down in such a way that I doubt I'm ever capable of believing she's innocent. Documentary seems heavily biased and leaves **** out.

My understanding of this case is that italy's justice system is a total joke and they boggled this case at nearly every step.

Why did she kill Kercher?

I merely mentioned that I think the documentary was biased and left things out, which it certainly did - I have no interest in debating this case with you, because it has been beaten into the ground and you and your ilk strike me as likely mentally ill.

Sounds good buddy

Agree. He mentioned early in the doc his admiration of Sherlock Holmes because he can take small observations and deduce very important details from them (paraphrasing). He then goes on to say that because the body was covered up that the murderer must be a female because a male would never do that....whaaaaaaa???

Someone needs to let him know that Sherlock Holmes is just a literary character.

And the story he drew in his head resulting from her freaking out when going through the knife drawer in her house is LOL.

Agree again. However I think it may be in an indication of how journalism works these days. He had no problem mentioning that fact checking wasn't going to happen because he wasn't going to miss the 'scoop'. I imagine that's even more pronounced today with social media being what it is.

He mentioned Woodward and Bernstein at some point and that brought into my mind a scene from the movie All the President's Men which I imagine was very factual. There is a scene in the movie where they are ready to go to print about a very important detail in the scandal but have to hold off because their source was not willing to confirm it on record. They didn't print it. Don't think that would happen today.

Does anyone know the post number or have a link to Henry's post mentioned? Would like to read it but haven't been able to find it yet.

Thanks

Could very well be the best post ITT and something many posters should have thought of much earlier.

haven't read this thread in forever. just saw 239 hasn't posted in 5 months. given how 'passionate' he was, does that mean there is a reasonable chance he died?
