BBC News - Amanda Knox guilty of Meredith Kercher murder

American student Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend have been found guilty by an Italian court of the murder of British student Meredith Kercher.

Knox was jailed for 26 years and Raffaele Sollecito, 25, for 25 years after a jury found them both guilty of murder and sexual violence.
Miss Kercher, 21, a Leeds University student from Surrey, was found with her throat slit in Perugia in 2007.
Knox, 22, had denied killing Miss Kercher during a sex game.
The verdict of the jury, who included two judges, was confirmed by the trial judge.

dunno if anyone else has heard of or been following this story, i live near to leeds and surrey which is close to where Meredith Kercher was from

I've been following this case since the beginning and Amanda Knox is innocent and is being made a scapegoat in this.

Her DNA was not found on the body or in the room the body was found on.

Rudy Guede has admitted to raping Kercher and has been in jail for 2 years already. The Italian police are a joke and have fucked up this whole operation including tampering with evidence and violating Amanda's human rights.

She will appeal and she will win.

Wasnt her DNA on the knife?

The wounds didn't match up with the shape of the blade of that particular knife, it was found nowhere near the crime scene (IIRC).....and pretty much any knife in that house would have had Amanda's DNA on it....since you know, she lived there.

You dont know that she is not guilty at all, you think she is but thats just your opinion, You were not in the room. Im sure we all have our opinions on the case but the way your speaking its like your a close personal friend of the family.


On a side note she's pretty fine. Im thinking if she looked like susan boyle she wouldnt have so many groupies.

You were not in the room.

Well I was and I'm telling you...Jesus did it.

 

[S O F I]

She attended my university. The verdict sparked somewhat of an outrage on UW Facebook statuses lol.

Here's why I don't think she's innocent (my opinion being that of the minority in the United States):

1. She admitted at first that she was present in the house during the murder then recanted and gave different versions of her whereabouts
2. She said she doesn't remember where she was/what she was doing because she smoked hash. To those who smoke weed and hash, they should know this is bullshit.
3. Her boyfriend said he was at home "surfing the web" but his ISP records show otherwise
4. She also said the bar owner she did promotion for did it but the police found no evidence at all


Now, obviously, in a court of law that's not enough, but I can spot a liar desperate to cover-up his/her actions.

I see, so when she was under pressure from the police why did she say she was home and heard the screams... then she changed and said she was watching Amelie with her bf?.... if you werent there why not just say so in the first place?..
Even if someone is guilty wouldnt the first thing they say is.. 'I wasnt there?"

These cops look like they came from either a porn movie or a Mario game, hehehe.

^^ LOL. The guy on the back left looks like Ron Jeremy's father.

The one on the right look likes a pedophile

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.

Why did she implicate Lumumba?

 

[Casey]

Why did she implicate Lumumba?

Fuck knows. She was probably in a weird mindstate after the bad treatment she got from the Italian cops, it was human rights violations at best and pure abuse at worst.

Maybe she got Guede and Lumumba confused and said the wrong name?

lol your joking right?

 

[Bobby Sands]

i havent really much about this trial.

so who actually killed her?

and what was their motive?

i understand that 2 men and a girl were convicted.

Coupled with the different statements she has made, I'm personally thinking she has definitely something to hide.

 

[Casey]

Rudy Guede killed Meredith Kercher and has already been in jail for it for at least a year. His DNA was found inside her (because he raped her), all over her body, and in the room she was found in.

Amanda Knox is innocent but is being made a scapegoat. There's no evidence to suggest she killed Kercher. Whether she was an accessory or is hiding something is questionable, but the fact remains that she has been convicted of murder without any evidence.

 

[Duke]

A scapegoat suggests that someone else got away with it. This is obviously not the case. Why would "they" go to such great lengths to convict Knox and the other bloke?


In any case, I never liked to speculate on these cases because obviously I don't have all the facts (no one on the outside does) and I just "can't" make up my mind on it. Same with OJ Simpson. "Did he do it?!" How the fuck should I know.

 

[stefanwzyga]

I for one will put my trust in the Itallion court system. The girl has lied several times about the night in question, and also tried to put all the blame on an innocent man.

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