She also accused the Italian police of assaulting her during her interrogation.

...Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 25, are accused of sexually abusing and stabbing Kercher to death after she refused to take part in a perverted sex game. ...“It was a disgusting death. I imagined it was a slow death, a death that was shocking, yucky, disgusting,” Knox said, crossing her hands repeatedly in front of her chest.

Knox said she considered Kercher a friend. Had she suffered for the death of her friend, Maresca asked? “Yes, I was very shocked.” Did she remember Kercher in her daily life? “Yes I remember her; but, in the end I knew her for a month, and first of all I’m trying to get on with my life.”

Giuliano Mignini, the lead prosecutor, pressed Knox on her so-called “confession” to police a few hours after the murder, in which she accused Patrick Lumumba, the owner of the Le Chic bar where she worked, of killing Kercher while Knox was in the kitchen blocking out the sound with her hands over her ears.

Don't forget a good dose of narcissism

Did she remember Kercher in her daily life? “Yes I remember her; but, in the end I knew her for a month, and first of all I’m trying to get on with my life.”

She’s as guilty as the day is long. This prissy bitch should be shipped up river to do her well deserved time. 30 or 40 years sounds about right.

Reminds me of the comment made by a serial killing truck driver, who actually told police he was confessing to murdering multiple women so he could put it all behind him and get back out on the road!
