Amanda Knox guilty of Meredith Kercher murder

[Kadafi Son]

Who tha f**k is Amanda Knox ? I never heard of her until this week when the news said BREAKING NEWS...

 

[S O F I]

No, but I am the son of two lawyers and hence have heard about thousands of cases over the years and having read up on everything about this case since the start - there is nowhere NEAR enough real evidence to find her guilty, not guilty of murder anyway. The most she deserves is being an accessory to murder.

They won't make a murder charge stick once there have been appeals, etc. No way.

There's less evidence in this scenario than there was with OJ, for example.

I think in the US court system, it would be hard to prove she's guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

However, I tend to look it more practically with common sense. She lied about her alibi? WHY? If she was in the room while the murder took place, she's an accessory. Why didn't she stop it or leave and report it? Why implicate ANOTHER guy if, as you say, that Rudy guy did it? Don't tell me she follows a "snitches get ditches" code lol.

It's foolish to think she confused the names when the Lumumba guy is famous around those parts and she WORKED for him. If she didn't kill the woman nor was a willing accessory, why didn't she tell the truth at any point during the trial? Why risk 25 years of her life? Come on.


Anyway, my opinion isn't meant to imply that the Italian court system functions well or that there wasn't bias in the trial. However, when it comes to me deciding for myself personally if she's guilty, I decided she is. You on the other hand, are resting your beliefs completely with the lack of forensic evidence and that is completely fine. But I don't know why you don't find her erratic statements and lack of alibi suspicious.

Do you regularly trust things that you are unable to spell?

Lol i've had a few drinks, plus im watching the boxing and messing around online at same time, thats my excuse anyway.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Apparantly she was doing cartwheels in the hallway after she was questioned over the murder. and she was seen smiling several times throughout the trial.

Strange behaviour. She seems like a nutcase.

 

[Jokerman]

^Exactly. She belongs in jail just for that.

 

[Flipmo]

I never heard of this till this thread. I just skimmed over the details of the murder, but what's the motive to the murder?

and lmao @ the Weed/Hash can't remember anything bullshit.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^Exactly. She belongs in jail just for that.

thats not what i was implying lol

it is strange behaviour though if true

LOL you went back and edited it but you still spelt it wrong.

[Bender]

i agree to her being an accessory to murder, but tying to cover up what really happened clearly hasn't done her any favours

I-T-A-L-I-A-N

Woops.:embarresd:

 

[S O F I]

hmm...how come you didn't reply to MY reply...

 

[Casey]

I didn't have much to say, but OK.

Her lack of alibi and erratic statements don't really mean much. She was scared, under pressure, being abused by the Italian police, etc.

Not having an alibi and making erratic statements are not indications of guilt. The fact still remains that the evidence does not point towards her being involved.

 

[Bobby Sands]

so afraid and under pressure that she was doing cartwheels after being questioned?

Sorry to bring up old stuff... but I thought you mother passed away when you were really young?

I think it's awesome that whenever someone questions your view on something you always have strong links to that industry or cause.. whether its the music biz, PETA and now law.. some guys have all the luck

She did (18 years ago next February) but she was a lawyer before she died.

I have a large family mostly made up of professional musicians, doctors, and lawyers.

What do you mean her lack of alibi doesn't mean much? If you weren't present during the crime/did the crime, where were you? Simple as that. A strong alibi means you don't go to prison. What about conflicting stories of their whereabouts by Knox and her former boyfriend? What about their cell-phones being turned off the night of the crime and turned on the next morning at the same time? During questioning, she said she was present in the house during the murder and that Lumumba was the assailant and she even described the screams she heard. Pressure from the police? Fine. Then, the next day, she writes a 5-PAGE MEMORANDUM affirming everything she said the night before.

 

[ill-matic]

sure, technically she may be innocent. but it appears that her behaviour has been quite suspicious and to deny that it's somewhat fishy would be a bit silly. she has quite a few things to answer for

I mean that the lack of an alibi isn't a strong indicator of guilt. Maybe she did have an alibi but couldn't prove it. There's all sorts of reasons why she might not have an alibi. I don't have an alibi for not being present at a party in which two girls were shot and killed, because I was there. That doesn't mean I did it.

I think she was co-erced into writing that memorandum.

 

[S O F I]

I understand if people say there wasn't enough evidence to convict her beyond a reasonable doubt. But I don't understand how people can claim she's innocent when all her actions show otherwise.

If she was coerced into writing the memorandum, her lawyers should have been able to throw it out IF they threw out the verbal confession. Why did the memorandum hold?

 

[ArtsyGirl]

I remember hearing about this. Can't say I'm suprised by the verdict.
