Italian uproar erupts after Amanda Knox acquittal
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/03/2011 | Stephen Robert Morse

PERUGIA, Italy — It was silent in the courtroom for a long time after Amanda Knox, the now-exonerated American woman, was led into an Italian courtroom for the last time. A presiding judge spoke. We heard not a word from the jury. And then she was declared “innocenta.”

And then anger erupted in the streets outside.

News crews — mostly Italians — alternated between filming and shouting “Vergogna! Vergogna!” (“Shame! Shame!”) for the first five minutes.

A mass of people took up the calls of “Shame!” outside the courthouse, and in a second gathering area nearby.

Italy's Corriere Della Sera newspaper reported that the angry mob on the streets of Perugia also shouted "Bastards!" and "Bought!"

You know, it woulda been tough for our GIs to smoke out those fake MPs the germans used at the battle of the bulge if they woulda had google on tap when questioned.

Some freepers have been an embarrassment today.

You and DesertRhino have certainly proven that.

The original theory of the prosecution ....that this was sex crazed orgy/ murder hints at it being fueled by drugs..

It's not an original theory - that prosecutor used that same theory on many killings. The prosecutor is deranged and he was convicted of abuse of office. I'm sure we will hear more about him. He may be in a fetal position tonight.

...was there ever any evidence that Amanda used drugs and if so what kind?

Whatever kind makes you smooch with your boyfriend at the crime scene while investigators are gathering evidence. Whatever kind makes you do freaking cartwheels at the police station when you are hauled in for questioning. Whatever kind makes you lie through your teeth with brazen, careless abandon.

I dunno... Sounds like meth to me. Or LSD? PCP? Ecstasy?
Yeah, ecstasy... That's the one that makes skanks like Knox screw like bunny rabbits, isn't it?

No...though they had smoked pot at times as many college students do...they had no history of drug use....but Geude did in fact ,and was considered a small time drug dealer by the authorites.

Also, there was zip zero evidence that more than one individual had committed this crime....in fact all evidence pointed to one person being at the scene of the crime...along with the knife wounds...the condition of the body etc. there was just nothing there to indicate anyone else was in the room but Guede and his victim. Nothing.

One tip: "Only a fool argues with a fool." - Chinese proverb.
I wouldn't waste any more time with buccaneer81. She's really invested in that skank Knox for some reason. (shrug)
I think there are actually still some people who think OJ is innocent, the earth is flat, and the moon landing was filmed in a studio somewhere.
