I don't speak in terms of "you all". I do think there are plenty of people how find the idea of an attractive female teacher seducing a young male student to be less than shocking. Our culture has celebrated the concept many times over and it has had a very obvious effect.
I know the GUILTY/NOT GUILT stuff is done in fun. I also know that when the teachers in those stories start being men, and the young students are 13 year old girls, there's going to be a lot less fun in those threads.
“I don’t. Her parents and grandmother are on the verge of bankruptcy.”
Good point Buc.
I was stupid i guess.
The more i read the more I’m realising i was also dupped.
I have no idea about witnesses or testimony.
No idea where she was during the scene of the crime.
Just horrid stories of drug fueled sex orgies.
I am now leaning towards the railroading theory.
Thanks guys.
And you think that's the same thing as "innocent". Ignorance is your master.
My spouse just told me that a report stated the Italian jury did, in fact, declare Knox innocent.
Seems there is a verdict available to them called "didn't do it" (although I suppose that is a rather inelegant translation of the Italian).
I don't know if that report is correct. But I do know you can't apply the same truisms commonly repeated in America, about a "not guilty" verdict not equalling "innocent."

Huh, that's interesting. I was wondering about possible differences between the Italian and American systems, but a "innocent" verdict would really be different. If indeed the court said she "didn't do it", I wonder what new evidence was introduced to prove that she "didn't do it"? I haven't heard anything about new evidence, only that some of the old evidence was successfully challenged by Knox's lawyers.
FBI Profiler John Douglas on Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito
I had no idea John Douglas was working on this. On matters such as this, for me personally, his opinion carries more weight than anyone on the planet.
The staged break-in is the last remaining doubt for me.
And she had no translator and spoke very little Italian on top of it.
Good job! And who knows if either one lost their job during all the time off and/or not getting paid for their time out. Hopefully, there is a movie and book deal awaiting her. May she make million$ that mom and dad may have the opportunity of never working again. I hope she rips our media for ever printing/speaking propaganda about anyone to suite their own agenda because of the damaging effect it has on the innocent. Woe to them!
Did anyone else catch the erroneous comments by the judge in that interview with BOR? He said there was a party the night Meredith was killed, that it was unknown who stabbed Meredith (Rudy Guede was convicted of the murder, his dna was in and on her, palm and foot prints and other dna), and that Patrick Lumumba, Amanda's boss, was convicted of the crime, and that the "other man assisted" in the murder. I watched the 11 pm segment again to make sure I heard him right, and sure enough he said all that. I'm a little stunned that he was being interviewed by BOR while being so ignorant of the facts.
Spot on! Thank you.
Since you admit you are clueless, here is a good synopsis, provided by Freeper DesertRhino:
Shes as guilty as homemade sin.
Innocent people don’t make up a string of alibis that fall apart the minute the phone records are examined.
“I was at my boyfriends, sleeping, phones off”.
“No wait, we rented movies online.
“What? My boyfriend said something different and our computer records show that didnt happen?”
“Ok, then I was there when the bar owner did it, covering my ears for an eternity as she was murdered.”
“What??, 100 people were with him ALL night?"
"Ohh, guess I better do some cartwheels."
PS.. ever notice, none of the other 2 roomates seem to be defending Amanda? They got her number, thats why.
Corrupt prosecutor
A justice system based on having to prove innocence.
Did I mention DNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNADNA?
Actually in Italy it is. She and her boyfriend were declared innocent on the murder charges today. The Italian court system has the option of two different verdicts: 1) there wasn’t enough evidence to convict or 2) they had nothing to do with the murder. This jury and judge panel went with the second option. They believe they are both innocent of the murder charges.
PC, see my post #398! You are 100% correct! I almost put my foot thru the TV when I heard O’Reilly and Napolitano! Those two idiots have no idea what the facts of this case are. Yet, they run their mouths like they are experts. Two overblown, blowhard ego maniacs! How about doing a little research before you shoot your big mouths off! If you don’t know the real facts than STFU, because the idiots who watch you will be misinformed!
WRONG Lancey! I’m not clueless - unlike you I haven’t kept up with the story. That doesn’t make me clueless but in the ‘not interested’ category. I heard about it when it happened and didn’t follow it at all. Didn’t know there was an appeal going on. Read up on it today and found out the truth. Something that you are not capable of - that makes you the clueless one - following it but unable to see what was going on!
All the little comments you posted - you seem to want to hold on to whatever you read from the deranged prosecutor via their media. Good - they need suckers like you/others who can be easily swayed - you have the same mindset of barry voters - whatever the media says is truth and remain unteachable!
She’s already ahead of you - she’s out and on her way to, hopefully, making millions while you’re still sucking your thumb dipped in pasta propaganda! When/how do dumb clucks learn - perhaps when you/they start reaping what they have sown - as there will be more dumb clucks condemning you. They learn when they are in the hot seat - not when they are spectators. Some are hell bent to learn the hard way and not through others’ experience.
And meanwhile the REAL killer is in jail with his DNA all over the victim - that is way over your pay grade to understand. A deranged prosecutor from a far away land is able to sucker in people who think they are above the rest. You appear unable to grasp truth - you hug to a lie as if it’s your best friend with no sense to even know when to quit!
LOL!! Amazing how some are so repellent to the truth - makes you wonder what’s behind some of these screens and what are they doing on this conservative site. Well, second thought, that one is obvious.
