If that is so, I’m pleased the Italian appeals court got it right but as is always the way, only Amanda Knox (and the other two people charged) really knows what happened. I accept the court verdict and hope Miss Knox goes on to enjoy a pleasant life.

I heard that you were the one who did it, but only you know what really happened, so I hope you enjoy a pleasant life.

Accusation is the same as guilt, you know.

Your cynicism is unwarranted. Unlike some, this case was very low on my list of things to be concerned about but in the aftermath of the acquittal it appears that Amanda Knox was wrongly convicted. Because I am not omniscient I cannot know to a certainty whether she committed the crime or not and neither can you or anyone else. I simply acknowledged the fact that the Italian appeals court reviewed the evidence and found Knox to be not guilty of the crime she was accused of. That being the case, I hope she can put her life back together.

Your snide comment that infers Knox was wrongly accused and that my simply accepting the court's verdict and wishing the woman a good life is somehow not robust enough an acknowledgment of her vindication assumes an innocence that, in my opinion, only God can know for certain. However, you seem to think otherwise. That's your prerogative. I choose to take a more nuanced view based on the reality that, as humans, we are fallible. These comments are based on individual opinion and as such, will always contain a degree of subjectivity. I still wish young Amanda Knox a pleasant life. If that isn't good enough, so be it.
