Correction: She was found guilty in the eyes of an obviously corrupt and backward criminal justice system, at least as far as it pertains to this case, if not a great many others.

YOU seem to want to bypass the absurdities and injustice, so glaringly apparent in this case, using the inane insinuation that it does not matter if Knox and Sollecito are actually innocent, the law is the law.

Isn't that right, poppy?

He speaks about there being all sorts of evidence to convince Knox but then strangely fails to identify any of it, except what was obtained in the interrogation room. He must know this case stinks on ice, yet he insults the intelligence of everyone who feels a sense of outrage over the profound injustice of the case by relegating it to nothing more than a passing fancy with Knox due to her being young and attractive.

Something appears to have suddenly gone very afoul in the man's mind. Could it be that Amanda Knox simply does not ethnically qualify for Dershowitz's personal liberal agenda? Could it be that he is getting soft in the head, or could it be that Magnini has got some dirt on ol' Dersh as well?

Shame on you, Mr. Dershowitz.

"But would I want my son to go out with her on the basis of a claim that she's totally innocent? Absolutely not."[LEFT]

Rather than say, "I don't think or believe she is "totally innocent" based on the evidence, he found it necessary to bring his son into the picture. It sounds to me like Amanda could well have turned his son's request for a date down. (chuckle) And he is just pissed at her.


(Alan's courtroom days are long gone.)

No Secretary of State in America is going to extradite Amanda to Italy based on its absurd kangaroo court system.
This is a complete false and misleading statement. NO ONE was "acquitted." The higher court only ruled there should be a new trial. NO ONE said she was NOT GUILTY. People keep jumping on this band wagon and pointing out FALSE statements and "internet rumors."

This sort of thing happens all the time, even in the US. A higher court rules there were flaws in the original court case, and orders a re-trial. That is NOT an acquittal.

Knox was found GUILTY TWICE. TWICE. She was NEVER acquitted. She should still be in Italy, in prison, where the psychopath belongs.

"The convictions of Knox, from Seattle, and Sollecito were overturned in 2011 for "lack of evidence." But Italy's Supreme Court decided in March 2013 to retry the case, saying the jury that acquitted them didn't consider all the evidence and discrepancies in testimony needed to be answered."

The judges’ announcement that an earlier acquittal had been overturned was greeted by a shocked silence in the courtroom here.

The "Professor" did not find the evidence sufficient to prove that Amanda murdered or took part in Meredith's murder.

People like Amanda tend to get away with their crimes in the US because "certain types" refuse to believe that a girl who looks like their daughter/sister/neighbor can also be commit horrible crimes. If Amanda Knox was not a thin, young white woman not a single fluck would be given by the vast majority of those who are cooing over her. This is Exhibit A of "privilege" that so many of the certain types love to deny.
I don't know how much of the things you say about Amanda Knox's behavior prior to this killling (not by her) happened, but I will tell you this:

"A self absorbed liar and a drug user with a history of being promiscuous and bringing strangers to the apartment for sex.

When I was in college in the late 60's, you would not believe the amount of total promiscuity that happened with many, many college students (in Boston), and the drug use was common, sadly, too. But these kids didn't kill! You are very narrow minded, I must say!

" She continually jeopardized the safety of her roommates for her own selfish pleasure." What do you mean by that?

" She had no qualms about blaming the crime on an innocent man." She, as a matter of fact, has spoken at length about the reason she accused him and it was not due to her just wanting to stick it to him. She has spoken of her sorrow, guilt and grief over having done that. Please inform yourself. You don't even know what happened!

" She was also far more concerned about buying sexy lingerie and effing her boyfriend than being there for her roommates and dead roommates family after the murder. " What are you talking about? Please explain what she did after the death. You are making up things as you go along, not factual at all.

  3. Amanda and Raffaele turning off their cell phones at the same time and then on at the same time the next day.
  4. When the Postal police found the victim's mobile phone the day after the murder and attempted to return it Amanda and Raffaele just happens to be at the cottage and appears surprised. The couple says they were waiting for police because of a burglary although no calls exist. When asked if Meredith Kercher's door was always locked they lie.
  5. Bringing a mop in bucket to the house the next day for a supposedly minor insignificant leak although it didn't need a mop and bucket in Amanda's own words.
  6. Lying about what time they went to bed and woke up when the cell phone evidence and store owner's reports her waiting at his store when he arrives to open up at 7:45 am.
  7. Her boyfriend's lying about working that night on his computer when tests indicates otherwise.
  8. Callousness concerning death by showing public display of affection as if they were at lover's lane or a romantic getaway to Niagara Falls.

Ridiculous "evidence". Twisting things so she looks guilty.

More like two guilty goats.

And I hope that they expedite her to Italy with great swiftness. Heck, I'll even buy her a one way airline ticket.
