Here she was when she first returned to her home after months in jail and overseas....I felt plenty bad for her then...but glad she was home.

The highest court in Italy on Friday has overturned the murder convictions of Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend in the sensational 2007 stabbing death of her British roommate.
The ruling was the latest turn in an odyssey of international justice for Knox, who spent four years in an Italian jail after the killing. She has returned to the United States and vowed not to return to Italy.
She and the ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were convicted in 2009, then acquitted and freed in 2011. An appeals court overturned the acquittals and ordered a new trial, and they were convicted again last year. Knox was sentenced in absentia to 25 years in prison. Sollecito was sentenced to 28 1/2 years.
Knox and Sollecito were arrested after the roommate, Meredith Kercher, was found dead in a pool of blood in their apartment in the university town of Perugia, as many as 40 knife wounds over her half-naked body.
Prosecutors argued that Kercher was killed as part of a sex game. Knox and Sollecito said they were alone together on the night in question, watching a movie, smoking pot and having sex.

It was the right call.
She’s free, as is her boyfriend. Forever.
Finally
beat me too it. I’ll ask the mods to delete my thread.
So.....she lost...right?
Kercher's dead, the man who did it is in prison, and Knox and her former boyfriend are free.
We were thinking not guilty all along.
I kept checking as I was posting to see if anyone had put a thread up.
Same here. Mine went up within seconds of yours. The mods just deleted mine at my request.
I’d say Italy owes her about a million dollars for putting her through this cra*.
What a backward and worthless country where the justice system can just keep retrying you until it gets the verdict it wants.
That would be Holders' dream come true.
I Agree.
Therefore, in protest of the horrible Italian legal system, I will refrain from buying Ferraris, Lamboghinis, Maseratis, Alfas, Fiats, etc.
I am sure my boycott will cripple the Italian economy.

OK. Although she ought to split it with George Zimmerman.
Here she was when she first returned to her home after months in jail and overseas....I felt plenty bad for her then...but glad she was home.
So is this the end of it or can some prosecutor reopen the case yet again?
I imagine when this young lady hears a conversation in Italian she has, at best, a mixed reaction of romantic nostalgia, and extreme dread. She became fluent in the language during incarceration. Many times, the brain will morph in order to adapt and make sense of it’s immediate environment.
Just because she is from the U.S. and she killed a British person is not a conservative reason to support someone.
This woman is young and she's a manipulative sociopath. She will kill AGAIN. Next time it will likely be a U.S> citizen. I hope it's not any of our loved ones.
She learned she can tell law enforcement nothing but lies, kill, manipulative and get away without punishment.
