Wow - serious! Just don’t speak until you read up on the facts!

It doesn’t even seem you are even reading this thread at all. Aggravating to say the least!

When questioned by the police, Amanda threw the blame on the bar owner,

No, the police questioned her about a possible scenario and she named Lumumba. The police then incarcerated him for two weeks, so whose fault was that???

And for what it's worth, today's verdict just awarded him 22,000 Euros for that alleged slanderous comment by Knox.....Not bad work when you can get it.

What we had here was the use of a European Tradition ~ of making up a number of stories and then taking whatever evidence they find and seeing if it can stick to the story.

From that they "deduce" that everything else in their made-up story is true.

That's how the prosecutor came up with his sex orgy story ~ he and his staff imagined what a sex orgy would be like (what an expenditure of the people's taxes eh) and then fit the evidence into it.

They had some other stories.

The problem is that if you stick evidence into such a story and you don't actually have the evidence then the story isn't true, or it may be true, but really you have to come up with the evidence first ~ then piece it together.

Several parts of our Constitution work together to prevent or deter the European approach to solving crimes.

There is a good website with lots of information about the case from various experts and how Knox was railroaded. Ann Coulter got this one way wrong.

For those who don’t speak perdogg:

Agreed. I just got finished with ‘One Day in The Life Of Ivan Denisovich’. I'll be reading more of Solzhenitsyn.

Another good one is Varlam Shalamov. ‘The Kolyma Tales’ was excellent.

I suppose you could do that but it wouldn’t taste right.

Google Riely Fox and Stephanie Crowe. Innocent people do confess under duress.

Movie Review:

By Nick Squires, Rome

7:00AM GMT 22 Feb 2011

Amanda Knox, the American student accused of stabbing to death Kercher, 21, at the climax of a drugs-fuelled sex game, was variously portrayed as a wide-eyed innocent abroad caught up in events beyond her control or a cold-hearted narcissist and sociopath.

‘Amanda Knox — Murder on Trial in Italy’ does a credible job of navigating a complex case without coming down one way or the other on whether Knox and her then boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, are innocent or guilty.

The made-for-television movie was based on court transcripts and the reports of the British and American journalists who covered the case from the moment that Kercher’s body was discovered in Nov 2007, to the conviction of Knox and Sollecito in Dec 2009.

Knox, played by the American actress Hayden Panettiere, 21, is portrayed as a good-time girl determined to make the most of her year studying in Italy, revelling in the chance to meet men and the fact that hashish and other drugs were openly traded on the steps of Perugia’s medieval cathedral.

The film shows how she and Sollecito, 25, the earnest, good-looking son of a rich doctor, quickly became suspects in the case due to their odd behaviour — kissing and cuddling as investigators examined the crime scene and lying about turning off their mobile phones on the night of the murder.

The most damning evidence against her? She ADMITTED she did it.

She did???? Care to cite your source? There's already another guy who was convicted of the murder and the evidence was overwhelming.........Perhaps you can tell us how Amanda Knox was able to get the sexual residue of the confirmed rape by Guede into Ms. Kercher?

What was unusual was also present the DNA of Meredith Kercher, who didn't know Sollecito

Except that at later court proceedings, the DNA analysis that seemed to show Kercher's blood was found to be scientifically unsound, and forensic evidence showed that the knife was far too large to have caused any of Kercher's wounds.

Why would an innocent woman behave the way she did in court and in the police station? Smiling and doing cartwheels?

That's a very good question which I have no answer for.

What is your own professional opinion of these actions?

Yes, I can’t imagine the Kirschner family’s horror and what she endured. It is sad. Hopefully now they’ll be given time to heal and rest from the big production and living with it over and over again.

Review, cont.

The movie depicts how Knox, 23, was subjected to a gruelling all-night interrogation by police in which, exhausted and terrified in a foreign country, she eventually implicated a Congolese bar owner as the assassin — despite the fact that he was later found to be entirely innocent.

Flashback scenes are used to explore the various accounts given by the protagonists, including one which faithfully recreates evidence given to police by Rudy Guede, the third person accused of the murder.

In scenes which will be profoundly disturbing to the family of Kercher, he is shown rushing into the Leeds University student’s bedroom after hearing a piercing scream, to find her convulsing on the floor, her throat cut and blood pouring out of the wound.

Like Knox and Kercher, Guede always protested his innocence, but was found guilty of murder and sexual assault by a Perugia court and condemned to 30 years in prison — a sentence later reduced to 16 years on appeal.

Hope you don't take those threads seriously, but everybody is being quite cynical ~ and that's about the judges, prosecutors and juries in those school teacher young boy sex cases.

Hope she learned that the key to survival in the 21st century is to not attract the attention of law enforcement - intentionally or unintentially.

Plus she admitted, eventually, to being in the apartment the night of the murder

Now who's getting their story mixed up? Above, you said she admitted to the killing and now you're saying she only admitted to being in the apartment?

That's not good.............
