Amanda is a murderer in Italy but she has hoodwinked many people into believing that she is innocent. She has snookered ABC's 20/20 into running a totally one sided story about Knox that makes Knox almost ready to be declared a saint by the Pope.

However, Ann Coulter has a good response: Despite liberals' desperate need for Europeans to like them, the American media have enraged the entire nation of Italy with their bald-faced lies about a heinous murder in Perugia committed by a fresh-faced American girl, Amanda Knox.
The facts aren't elusive: In December 2009, the Italian court released a 400-plus page report detailing the mountains of evidence that led the judges and jury to conclude that Knox, along with her Italian beau, Raffaele Sollecito, and a petty thief of her acquaintance, Rudy Guede, had murdered Knox's English roommate, Meredith Kercher, on the evening of Nov. 1, 2007.
Now liberals are howling that the DNA evidence was "contaminated," but they always say that. It wasn't. And the DNA was already thoroughly vetted at trial.
Nonetheless, let's consider only a tiny slice of the evidence available to the police in the first week after the murder -- long before any DNA tests came back.
Murders and murder convictions obviously occurred before 1986 -- the first time DNA was used in any criminal investigation -- so it is possible to establish guilt with no DNA at all.
Knox's first-of-several alibis for the night of the murder was that she was at her boyfriend (and co-defendant) Sollecito's house all night, sound asleep until 10 a.m. the next morning.
A few days later, when that was proved false by telephone records, eyewitnesses and Sollecito's admission that it was a lie, Knox claimed she was in the house during Meredith's murder ... and she knew who the murderer was!
She said it was her boss, Patrick Lumumba, the owner of a popular bar in town:
"He wanted her. ... Raffaele and I went into another room and then I heard screams. ... Patrick and Meredith were in Meredith's bedroom while I think I stayed in the kitchen. ... I can't remember how long they were together in the bedroom, but the only thing I can say is that at a certain point I remember hearing Meredith's screams and I covered my ears. ... I can't remember if Meredith was screaming and if I heard thuds but I could imagine what was going on."
Solely because of Knox's claim that Lumumba murdered Meredith, he was arrested and sat in jail for two weeks before being released when the police discovered about a hundred eyewitnesses who could place him at his bar all night, the night of the murder.
If the police were intent on framing Knox for the murder, they were easily distracted by this wild goose chase.
Knox later said she falsely accused Lumumba only because the police wanted her to do so.

But ABC just concentrated on Amanda Knox and rarely mention the victim, Meredith Kercher. who was brutally murdered.
Maybe it is ratings week and they are trying to win a ratings race.
But I just wonder if Amanda Knox was not a pretty young white girl but a middle aged black woman, would they even reporting the story?
Yep, you know the answer for that.

Who the hell are you and what right do you have to judge...your a nobody who obviously hasn't studied the case thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteSo, please tell me Juan, your area of expertise is in what?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I have followed the case, just blogged about it once though.
And you just judged me, even though you don't me. what right do you have to judge me?
Can you call yourself a hypocrite?
Dan, you need to learn to write in complete sentences. That would make your take considerably more creditable. Additionally, what you fail to mention is that many previously convicted individuals have been acquitted once DNA was established as a means of eliminating suspects. I am not for nor against Amanda Knox, but there is considerable doubt here based on the DNA, or lack thereof. This is despite the stories she has told police.
ReplyDeletethat's credible. just for future records Russ. ps. why are knox supporters all dumb?
DeleteUmm, Russ you are not my English teacher.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you ahve followed the case, you would know that the case is more than DNA. There is Knoz's behavior when the cops first came over to begin with. Then blaming another man who had nothing to do with the case. Those are not actions of an innocent woman.
Umm Dan, you could use an English teacher (reference your spelling of "have" above). What you're referring to is still far from hard proof. Look, not saying she's an angel. She's clearly not. But what she is as a person does not make her murderer...period!
ReplyDeletePoint here is that...they do not, and did not have enough evidence to convict beyond a shadow of a doubt. She should have never spent 4 years in prison with the lack of evidence shown.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Dan is foaming at the mouth about her being finally set free.
I really don't care if she is set free or not- she just joins Casey anonthy and O.J. Simpson who were freed by stupid juries.
ReplyDeleteIf she was so innocent, how come she was convicted of defaming the cops? If she was telling the truth why was she convicted of that?
Knox isthe one who is a piece of crap. She tried to frame another man, she hid the body and she lied constantly. That is not the actions of someone who is innocent.
And you people commenting here would not have been so outgspoken and vile if Knox was a black woman or man. Maybe anon at 1:53 hopes that maybe by supporting her, she will have kinky sex with him. Trust me anon, she aint your type. You are so whacked out that you love Danica Patrick and think you have a chance of bedding her as well.
She did not hide the body. There is no evidence that she ever touched the body. She has stated multiple times that she was questioned under duress, and she barely spoke the language that she was questioned in. Perhaps she did several odd things, but there is nowhere near enough evidence to convict her beyond a reasonable doubt--NONE. She may not be the smartest, but that doesn't make her a murder.
ReplyDeleteFamiliarize yourself with the case. The very fact that you said "she hid the body" is evidence that you don't actually understand the majority of the case against her, because that was never something that happened.
what rubbish you write there was no evidence against amanda but plenty against rudy now this makes sense before you attemte to write any more try boiling your head first
ReplyDeletewell well AK is the hero of America and for the rest of the world she is a sociopath, disgusting cold blood killer.End of the conversation.
ReplyDeleteTabloid lies slandering Amanda in the days after the thuggish Perugian police framed them does not qualify as evidence. Dozens of screaming police officers interrogating the average American College girl all night in a foreign country will have no problem into getting most to say something they can use against them. In this case the whole, bizarre suspicion of an ordinary college girl in an unheard of crime scenario proved moot once the forensics came back indicating a man who had recently been committing a string of burglaries, always alone, always with a knife, came to light. Guede even broke into a law office by throwing a rock through a second story window then climbing in. This case is very simple, to continue to spread disproven, Tabloid lies from November 2007 to slander innocents is a travesty.
ReplyDeleteknox supporters are bullies also...have you noticed that?
