AMANDA KNOX: THE NEW MUMIA!September 7, 2011
Despite liberals' desperate need for Europeans to like them, the American media have enraged the entire nation of Italy with their bald-faced lies about a heinous murder in Perugia committed by a fresh-faced American girl, Amanda Knox.
The facts aren't elusive: In December 2009, the Italian court released a 400-plus page report detailing the mountains of evidence that led the judges and jury to conclude that Knox, along with her Italian beau, Raffaele Sollecito, and a petty thief of her acquaintance, Rudy Guede, had murdered Knox's English roommate, Meredith Kercher, on the evening of Nov. 1, 2007.
Now liberals are howling that the DNA evidence was "contaminated," but they always say that. It wasn't. And the DNA was already thoroughly vetted at trial.
Nonetheless, let's consider only a tiny slice of the evidence available to the police in the first week after the murder -- long before any DNA tests came back.
Murders and murder convictions obviously occurred before 1986 -- the first time DNA was used in any criminal investigation -- so it is possible to establish guilt with no DNA at all.
Knox's first-of-several alibis for the night of the murder was that she was at her boyfriend (and co-defendant) Sollecito's house all night, sound asleep until 10 a.m. the next morning.
A few days later, when that was proved false by telephone records, eyewitnesses and Sollecito's admission that it was a lie, Knox claimed she was in the house during Meredith's murder ... and she knew who the murderer was!
She said it was her boss, 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."Read More »

I haven’t really paid attention to the Amanda Knox thing, but from the few things I have seen/read...i think she is innocent.
"From Tawana Brawley, Mumia and the Central Park rapists, to the Duke lacrosse players and Karl Rove, liberals are always on the wrong side of a criminal case.You can read the REST of Ann's column this week here:A few times could be a coincidence; every time is evidence of a psychological disorder." - Ann Coulter

Has Ann formally endorsed Mitt Romney yet?
I’m not so sure she’s guilty either.
The prosecution seems to be relying on the fact that her DNA was found all over the place she lived.

Mmmm...I don’t know...the innocent don’t lie. As a juror I convicted on the lies alone which I consider pretty good circumstantial evidence.
Which is simpler?
A lowlife loser that women avoided like the plague committing a rape and murder all by himself?
Or a young couple of a totally different class conspiring with lowlife loser that women avoided like the plague to commit a rape and murder?
Amanda Knox was undoubtedly a slut.
Some people think that means she is therefore guilty of anything she is accused of.
I believe she’s innocent, too and a victim of a crazy prosecutor. The guy who did it was convicted of it and is currently locked up. How many murderers can there be?
Stuck her foot in her mouth about teachers being useless, meaning their union, I guess.
Gretchen had to correct her and repeated two times, "Teachers aren't useless".
From seeing her this morning, it seems we now have an "enhanced" Ann.
As a reminder to all, in Italy you are presumed guilty and must prove your innocence - not like here in the good ‘ol U. S. of A. A point I stressed to my son as he went off for an Italian school trip earlier this year!

Another NYC Lawyer,
“I don’t know...the innocent don’t lie”
Everyone lies.
“As a juror I convicted on the lies alone which I consider pretty good circumstantial evidence.”
No, it isn’t circumstantial evidence of murder. It isn’t evidence of anything at all but that they’re liars.
Knox later said she falsely accused Lumumba only because the police wanted her to do so.
Another Casey Anthony?
It all depends on what they lie about.
“It all depends on what they lie about”
No it doesn’t. Not even if you lie about your alibi, because not having an alibi is not evidence of murder. At it means is that you can’t prove you didn’t commit the murder.
People seem very confused as to what constitutes evidence, let alone circumstantial evidence. Lying can, indeed, tend to indicate guilty. But it is not evidence of guilt. It goes to credibility, and if a defendant is not credible you cannot trust their defense. But that doesn’t indicate guilt. It indicates incredibility. If you want to pretend incredibility as “circumstantial evidence” you’re a hop, skip, and jump away from convicting people because you don’tlike their face.

tend to indicate guilty = tend to indicate guilt, don’tlike = don’t like.
Thanks for linking to that.
Ann has gone off the deep end. I think she is jealous of other women. Seriously.
She repeatedly lied to the police and must know more about what happened than she is telling. Although, IIRC, she was so drunk/high she may not remember much.
