Reading some of the post on this thread it seems that some people believe she is guilty simply because she is a pretty, white, privileged American girl. If there is such bias coming from her fellow countyrmen I can't help but wonder if the bias was not stronger in Italy.
No, I just didn't assume that she was innocent just because she was a pretty, White American girl.
A lot of the American media coverage seemed biased in favored of her innocence. As if there should be American outrage should she be convicted by the Italian court. That has been annoying.

As I said I really haven't been following the case all that closely but what I did see tonight on TV seemed balanced. Coming to this site is another story that is why I am begining to think bias may have played a part in hte verdict.
There seems to have been a lot of forensic evidence against the couple.
To wave the American laws and legal protections like a flag does not wash. The innocence project is proof of that. Many, Many people are in prison or death row in America who are innocent and this is now proved over and over again with new forensics.
No one wants to believe that their children would commit such a heinous crime....but they do, everyday. No one on this blog knows whether this couple commited this crime or not and they were found guilty by modern forensic evidence. If the Parents look deep into the case then maybe more will be discovered that will either prove them innocent or just uphold their guilt.
What evidence? The first blood test, the second or the third? What finger prints? There were none, they cleaned the place spotless... every print everywhere after a sex induced orgy. Apparently, while doing drugs and having sex, they cleaned the place spotless or wore gloves to the point that they couldn't find any fingerprints, anywhere. Door knobs, tables, bed frames, windows, bowls, bongs, crack pipes, glasses, plates, straws, dollar bills or whatever currency was there, pillows, headboards.... The blood evidence they did have was questionable at best, at least three times.
Murders, sociopaths and narcissist come in all colors and none of it is prejudice so the color of her skin or how she looked has zero to do with this case despite what many would like to condemn her for.
Like the O.J. case, there were only one (or in this case, one group) of suspects. Any other motives or suspects in this womans murder, or it happening by some total stranger was never once seriously presented. Wasnt in O.J.'s case either. Unlike the O.J. trial, this time there was some justice in the verdict
Fortunately an unbiased Italian jury heard the facts presented and gave her a relatively light 26 year sentence. She deserves life with the possibility of parole in about 30 years.

No, you just wanted ambitiously for her to be guilty because she was white, that's much better.
The degree of her participation in the sex games (with her being a female) would have left less DNA on the body.
She lived there.... No finger prints anywhere. The prosecutions explanation is she cleaned the place. Apparently every square millimeter of it and before the crime was reported too.
