The last jury said she was not guilty

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."

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.
