SEATTLE — Amanda Knox hasn't slept much since arriving back in Seattle after four years in an Italian prison, her father said on Thursday.

"I think she's literally running on adrenaline right now, because she hasn't slept very much — hardly at all. I think she's so joyful to be around her family and kind of reconnect with everybody," Curt Knox to KOMO Radio.

She's taking things one day at a time.

"It is going to take some time before we figure out what that new normal will be," he said.

The 24-year-old former University of Washington student and her family left Italy immediately after an appeals court threw out her conviction in the slaying of her British roommate Meredith Kercher in Perugia, where both were studying abroad.

Amanda Knox occasionally slips back into speaking Italian, Curt Knox told "Good Morning America" earlier Thursday.

"It has become really almost her first language since she's been in prison so long, but she seems to be moving to English," he said. Advertise | AdChoices

She was overwhelmed by her release from prison and the large number of reporters who awaited her arrival at Sea-Tac Airport on Tuesday. The family has not yet decided on whether to seek counseling for her.

Foxy Knoxy has a load on her mind. She knows what happened to her roommate because she was there and had the prosecution done a better job she'd still be in the pokey.

[null and void]

Sleepless in Seattle?

[Jack Hydrazine]

Will she be out there protesting with all of the other Occupy Wall Streets idiots?

[humblegunner]

I wonder if she’s killed anyone new yet.

[muawiyah]

Uh, the footprints weren't made out of blood, they weren't even hers, and there wasn't enough blood to sample and test on that knife and claspe.

The dude who killed the girl got half off his sentence when he blamed other people.

so, what is it you were going to point to?

[org.whodat]

I would not sleep in the same house with the bitch unless she was chained to something big and heavy.

[ilovesarah2012]

Did she kill Meredith?

Foxy Knoxy has a load on her mind. She knows what happened to her roommate because she was there and had the prosecution done a better job she'd still be in the pokey.

The appeals court retried the case with a very careful examination of the evidence. Based on tbe evidence, the appeals case found her innocent. The court could have found the evidence inconclusive but instead made an innocence finding. Almost all of the evidence against her is highly contested. Depending on interpretation, the evidence can either be persuasive for or against conviction. I have changed my mind in the case. I was previously swayed by the prosecution's view of the evidence. But after much more careful reading, I have concluded that the evidence never supported a conviction. I am not willing to assert her innoncence but the evidence is not nearly strong enough for conviction.

It was a Richard Speck situation ~ a type of criminal who goes from door to door in an apartment building testing to see if it's open, then going inside to rape, rob and kill whoever is there.

This guy found only one girl. If he'd found two he'd killed both. if three, he'd killed all of them. If four, he'd killed four.

I expect that some time in the future they'll find some of his other victims.

Sorry you believe the idiot prosecutor. His version of events was a psychotic fantasy that was completely fabricated.

She knows what happened to her roommate because she was there and had the prosecution WitchHunting Persecutor Who Sees Satanic Cults and Sex Games Under Every Bed done a better job she'd still be in the pokey.

There ya go Ib, fixed that right up for ya, no charge.

Then entire Italian system of ‘justice’ is as convoluted as it can possibly be.

There was the matter of her DNA on the knife that ended her roommate’s life and Amanda’s association with the scum that surrounded the victim as she died of multiple knife wounds.

What was Amanda doing at the scene? Paring her toe nails?

This was a sick, needless crimes (most are, of course) but this involved sex, drugs and animosity toward the roommate.

[IbJensen]

Send me the bill.

[skeeter]

The prosecutor is currently under investigation for some other malfeasance. He’s a demonstrated slug.

[King Moonracer]

Witch-hunting prosecutors or bribe-hunting prosecutors? Italy is banana republic in terms of government corruption.

"It is going to take some time before we figure out what that new normal will be,"

"Normal" = clubbing with Casey Anthony on the "I Got Away With It" Tour.

The fam better get a clue. If they don’t get a Doc involved, she could crash and burn big time. Like someone said she has never heard a Justin Beiber Song. (not that that’s bad) but just the culture shock must be running her mind in circles.

she doesn’t even know how bad Obama has been.

[Redbob]

"...had the prosecution done a better job she'd still be in the pokey."

Exactly.

Maybe she needs to hook up with OJ...

[muawiyah]

The prosecutor's sexual fantasy is pretty much identical to the killer's sexual fantasy.

Now that's a problem.
