You talkin 'bout Rudy?

No. As you correctly point out, Rudy is guilty as sin.

The innocent man framed by Amanda Knox was Patrick Lumumba, the owner of a popular bar in town:

"He wanted her. ... Raffaele and I went into another room and then I heard screams. ... Patrick and Meredith were in Meredith's bedroom while I think I stayed in the kitchen. ... I can't remember how long they were together in the bedroom, but the only thing I can say is that at a certain point I remember hearing Meredith's screams and I covered my ears. ... I can't remember if Meredith was screaming and if I heard thuds but I could imagine what was going on."

Solely because of Knox's claim that Lumumba murdered Meredith, he was arrested and sat in jail for two weeks before being released when the police discovered about a hundred eyewitnesses who could place him at his bar all night, the night of the murder.

If the police were intent on framing Knox for the murder, they were easily distracted by this wild goose chase.

Knox later said she falsely accused Lumumba only because the police wanted her to do so.

But absent Knox's false accusation, there would have been no reason for the police to consider Lumumba a suspect in the first place. He was a successful entrepreneur in Perugia, married with a child, and had no connection whatsoever to the murdered girl.

He wasn't framed, "Framing" an individual entails leaving false evidence at the scene of his alleged crime. His name was given by Amanda as a possible scenario when she was questioned by the police as to what happened. Even tho he spent only two weeks in jail, he wasn't convicted of anything. In fact, he was awarded a substantial amount of money to the tune of $22,000 Euros due to the statement given by Amanda.

All thing being equal, Amanda Knox should be awarded the same equivalent based on her 4 1/2 years of false imprisonment.......Does $2.5 million euros sound fair to you? That's what it equates to.........
