AMANDA KNOX ACQUITTED, TO BE RELEASED IMMEDIATELY
This girl attempted to have an innocent man accused of MURDER.
Many Italians were brainwashed by their hysterically anti-American media -- to believe Knox was an American she-devil and "guilty guilty guilty."
Sorry, but a careful reading of the history of this case will show that this was a railroading of Knox by a corrupt prosecutor who simply made things up -- and an Italian media all too eager to publish screamingly absurd sensational headlines.
Does that sound familiar? It should!
We have prosecutors and media like that here too. Ever hear of MIKE NIFONG? And the DUKE RAPE CASE?
Oh and how about Patrick Fitzgerald, who railroaded Scooter Libby?
Shep is a fairy.
I’d like to see him gone.
she 's from a liberal part of the USA, she' alleged to be a skank ect
people cant give their preconceived notions that she's guilty because the British press and skinny Minny Ann said so
this is like the dingo case in Australia,or that duke lacrosse case here in NC
Trial by self serving and hysterical media ,an incompetent and corrupt prosecutor, and mob think
not a recipe for a fair trial
It behooves us to keep in mine that our system of jurisprudence is based on English Common Law and the presumption on innocence. Most European countries base their systems on the Napoleonic code under which the accused is presumed guilty and the burden of proof of innocence falls on the defendant. That is a significant difference and really put the defense at a disadvantage. If she and her lawyer(s) managed to prevail under those conditions I'd have to say she deserves to walk away.
As far as "forget about the underlying crime and root for the new celebrity on the block" there would be no celebrity without the sensationalism of the media. The rooting of the great unwashed public has no effect on the trial, the case as presented to the court does. If you find that not to your liking you should ignore the media hype.
I much prefer to let the guilty go free then punish an innocent. Your thoughts on that?

Then why all the lies? Huh?
Scared, stupid people being interrogated without an attorney present and in a country with no Miranda rights have been known to do that.
A CAREFUL reading of the case? You say you read the facts, uhummm, carefully?
MSM! You guys did a GREAT job. Be proud.
Well, no. Funding the appeal will break her family financially.
When I read of their treatment of the crime scene, I thought it was but the tip of the malfeasance iceberg. I hope Amanda will do some spots for the “Think twice before you go to Italy” board.
‘K.
“the “let’s acquit all the hot girls” crowd”
The ‘hot girl is innnocent’ is a running joke on Free Republic making fun of what seems to be current conventional wisdom in America these days that if the girl is is hot she MUST be innocent.
Do you really believe we all think that hot teacher that was doing the 14 yr old boy for the past two years should be let go?
We DON”T but a lot in society does.
That’s the joke.
“OY Yoy Yoy, People....”
Are you from Pittsburgh?

Maybe she and the boyfriend were so high on drugs they thought they might have done it. That would explain their odd behavior (bleach, cartwheels, false statements).
Bill O’reilly and Judge Napolitano have no idea what they are talking about! There is no evidence that Knox and Sollecito were in the room where the murder took place. Knox was not there and does not know what happened! They should both STFU until they are familiar with the facts of the case!
Hilarious. You stick with that spin from the Italian Prosecutor who has a history of making up evidence to make cases. Not even a motive was argued by him. I will take the word of our own people in the US who investigated this, retired PBI agents and the like, who said she was innocent.
My thoughts are, first and foremost, that I could be wrong about this. I am not the most knowledgeable person about this case and perhaps should have just refrained from comment.
Saying that, I am just trying to convey my general feeling that society tends to very quickly forget the underlying crime and victim, and begin finding sympathy with the accused. The prettier the accused, the more sympathy they will likely garner. I detest the celebrity worship we see in society. I hate that court cases are increasingly becoming reality TV - focusing on everything from what the defense attorney is wearing to what who the prosecutor is dating. These crimes leave murder victims in their wake, and I fear society is all too often more interested in creating the next American Idol.
You can only go so far with the "let the guilty go free than punish the innocent". Where is the cutoff? 10-1? 100-1? 1000-1? No judiciary is perfect. At least in our legal system, the bar is reasonable doubt, not 100% certainty. I have the feeling in cases like Casey Anthony, juries are beginning to believe it is the latter.
Perhaps there was truly not enough evidence to convict Knox, but from what I know about this case it seems pretty obvious she was there, she knows what happened, and my guess is she took part in this murder. It bothers my that she is going to make millions of dollars now and a murder victim will be forgotten.
