Amanda Knox

If that's what is keeping american tourists there I guess every cloud does have a silver lining

 

Are you guys just gonna pretend you didnt see that gorgeous picture of the italian mountains i posted on the last page? :toetap05:

 

If you must know... I noticed and enjoyed it

 

Ok good

 

If this makes you feel better, I just visualized myself pushing Asmodean off the highest peak.

 

It would almost be worth it to visit the actual place

 

Oh please, bitch killed someone. She is not the victim here.

 

Oh come off it. Who do you think u are kidding with that. I've read the whole judge's report, 200 and sthg pages. I'm also a former lawyer. Knox was guilty as sin ... of fitting up a black guy AND the murder. She's luicky her throat wasn't slit inside. Which would have done the rest of the World a big favour.

Knox is the symbol of everything bad about America. Narcissistic, arrogant, considers herself above the rules.. and generally gets away with it. Then pretends to be the victim when common sense and fair play catch up with them..

I reckon this monster will be dead in a few years anyway..
Will it have the guts to go back to Italy? Ofcourse not! Becuase American bribes and bullying wont help her next time...

And if you think that Italy is some sort of sexually repressed Puritanical nation , you know even less than *I* thought u did.
Really, u need to lay off the Fox News propaganda, and whatever that dickhead with a wig Donald Trump says...

The evidence against that witch was overwhelming..by US, Italian, British, ANYONE'S standards.. But some people wanna argue black is white..

 

You see, this is exactly what bothers me about Italy! It's the kind of place where people think it says something terrible about a single white girl's character if she lets a black guy fuck her.

I think it's the kind of place where you play nice in public, and do whatever the hell you want behind closed doors. Like a Southern American small town.

You obviously don't know anything about me.

 

tip for americans traveling to italy: tell them you're canadian, eh

 

Yes, the whole country is like that.
How they treated the girl had nothing to do with the fact that she was involved in a brutal, sickening murder, just with the fact that she was a single white American girl

 

you were present the night of the killing? Ineresting. Please tell us more

 

If so, we should be able to agree that this approach is an unacceptable perversion of justice.

 

No, I was being sarcastic, I don't think she's innocent, and I don't think she was mistreated.

 

Have it your way. I now agree that it is impossible to talk to you about anything.

 

why?

 

Without looking this up, I think I recall the case.

She really didn't have a motive to kill her friend, it seemed like the Italian police just wanted to blame the foreigner's death on the other foreigner just to get it swept under the rug. They didn't want to waste their resources on a proper investigation. Also, it nicely put away any worries for tourists that Italy might be dangerous, since it was just a Brit killing another Brit.

I never thought she did it.

 

I saw the one hour interview with Diane Sawyer last night. I got reminded of several facts about the case that I had forgotten over the years. The most important is that Amanda's DNA was not found in the room where the murder took place. There is no way she could have been convicted in an American court.

I can understand why she didn't get any respect from morally conservative Italian adults. At times, she behaved in ways that can only be attributed to extreme immaturity and heavy use of drugs and alcohol. Not murder.

 

Her parents have had to borrow a huge amount of money to finance her legal defense, and one of her sisters had to drop out of college due to lack of funds. Now they probably have no remaining options for paying the lawyers for her third trial, and she doesn't want her entire family to have to live in absolute poverty for the rest of their lives, just because she handled her trip to Italy poorly. It doesn't sound like a terrible thing to me that she is trying to raise funds for the family. She owes it to them to make some kind of serious effort, no matter how uncomfortable it might be for her.

If the book earns more than her family owes, don't forget that she's been unable to earn a living for the past five years, and her father has missed a lot of work due to being in Italy. Nobody is going to get rich from this, except the lawyers.

I doubt that she remembers a lot, and what she does remember, she's surely embarrassed to explain in detail. She went to Italy to party like the world was ending, and that's what she did, for six weeks.

I've been at many parties where there was NO WAY IN HELL I could ever go on national television and explain everything I did in full and accurate detail. Some of it made the movie "Animal House" look like a children's cartoon made for a church school. Fortunately, I was never in a place where any serious crime took place.

I feel bad for Amanda, because she is in the kind of unlikely situation that made my parents tell me (when I was growing up) that I should always be a perfect lady in all situations, and never do anything that I wouldn't want the whole world to know about.

I think the big lesson to be learned is to not be so quick to trust people you have only known for a few weeks, especially outside of your home country. Amanda would have been much better off partying with college friends in Las Vegas or New Orleans or Miami. She could have done most of the same things.

It can be a terrible mistake to go to another country and assume that your legal rights are going to be about the same as what you are used to at home. Based on every piece of legal evidence mentioned anywhere online or on TV, there is no way Amanda Knox could have been convicted of anything under US law. Her sexual history couldn't have even been brought up in front of the jury. And a US jury wouldn't have been biased against her.

And what's this prosecutor's bullshit about a Satanic sex ritual resulting in human sacrifice? Has that really been done anywhere in Europe or North America in the last 150 years? I thought I had heard of everything, but not that! Does that go on in Italy?

Every year, naive, young American students go to party in Mexico and have horrible experiences. Some of them never come back. Mexican authorities seldom seriously investigate such incidents, even if you bribe them. I don't know why this doesn't get more media attention. I guess the big difference is that people have much higher expectations of Italy. Maybe our expectations need to be adjusted.

 

Innocent or guilty she'd make a great fuck :2thumbsup:
