26 years in Italian prison for AMANDA KNOX...do you think she did it? (case, murder) - True Crime -Crime in the news, unsolved cases - City-Data Forum

Americans say she didn't do it, Italians say she did....it all depends on what your sources are. What do you think?

Her parents are moving to Italy to appeal. Here's a link to what happened:

I really want to believe she didn't do it. I think she got 26 years (not that it matters) and the guy got 25 years.

Amanda Knox sobs as guilty verdict read - CNN.com

This case seems to have more unanswered questions than anything else. From poor handling of the crime scene, to questionable forensics. Seems the Italian press convicted this girl before the jury did. Can a young American receive a fair trial outside the US at the moment, or is the perception of arrogance tainting cases such as these?

I have no idea if she was guilty, glad I wasn't on that jury, but I don't think she received a fair trial.

Thoughts?

Of course they were going to convict her. The trial was just for show.

We as Americans forget that our country's laws and legal protections do not follow us wherever we go around the world. In most of the world, you have to prove your innocence and even then it doesn't always matter.

Yes, I just corrected that, thanks.

No, they should hire her for a remake of my most favorite movie of all time:

She did it. She was a weirdo in company of other weirdoes and they were doing drugs and sexual rituals. The evidence against her proves her guilt.

The Italian justice system is a joke, from what I've seen in the press. Of course, I don't have first hand knowledge. Also, I wasn't on the Jury, and I didn't hear all of the facts.

What I've seen and heard from the press would cast a shadow of doubt for me.

She was in on it.

She is an evil little girl who was also involved in the murder of a British girl. I guess she thought her pretty little face made her invincible.

Sorrrrryy. Have fun in prison.
