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.
