Italian court convicts Amanda Knox of murder

Until now I went along with the American media on this, and thought that she was innocent. After hearing Coulter lay out the evidence, Coulter who is a legal scholar BTW, I now think that Italy got it right.

Kudos to you liblady, you also see through the BS surrounding this.

lol...well, i despise ann coulter, but when she's right, she's right. about this, anyway.
 
because i believe she DID it, i really have no sympathy.

I have sympathy since I don't believe she got a fair trial. Guilty or not.

j-mac,

Amanda Knox is most certainly innocent. Coulter was just making wild inferences based upon her minimal understanding of the facts in evidence as well as spewing outright falsehoods.

For instance, she claims the police found receipts for bleach as well as evidence of a clean-up; try confirming either of these claims and you will find there is no truth to them; Ann Coulter is just regurgitating the same misinformation Italian officials have been feeding to the media since day one.

That's because you, much like Coulter, are not apprised of the circumstances surrounding the investigation and instead are regurgitating misinformation which has been fed to the media by Italian officials.

There is literally no conclusive evidence that implicates Amanda Knox in this murder.

then her appeal will exonerate her.

question for you: why is it that YOU believe you're more informed than coulter? do you have access to information that no one else has access to?
 
Anyone who expresses a remote disagreement with him is a lefty. It's really sad.

aps, that is not nice, besides I never called you a lefty but everyone knows you are.........:2wave:

Yes, it probably will.

question for you: why is it that YOU believe you're more informed than coulter?

Because I've conducted far more research into the case than she has.

...do you have access to information that no one else has access to?

No. The information is available to anyone that bothers to look. I've been posting links all over the place. Apparently you just ignored them.

Of course not in your eyes.......

Actually it's information that everyone has access to. Some people, such as you and Ann Coulter, just choose to ignore it.

Ok since Navy is unwilling to be honest and at least attempt to give an answer to my question I'll ask you the same question.

Why does the murder weapon that the prosecution says was used, the knife, not fit the composite of the knife imprint on the bed or match the wounds on the victim?
 
WOW, 239 posts about Amande Knoxs' trial.

Imagine how many posts there will be about the 9/11 terrorists trial after the conviction when Holder gauranteed it, I mean in the Muslim world.

Some of the people in the US think it wasn't a fair trial in Italy and the same will happen in the Muslim world with those guys.

We will wait and see.

Ethereal, I haven't forgotten my promise to you. When I first printed what you posted, I thought by hitting "print," it would print the entire written article. It printed page 1 from the website. I have since printed up the entire thing. I just haven't had time to read it, but I will. And I will get back to you on my thoughts.

The key difference is that there actually is plenty of evidence to convict KSM for his role in 9/11, and absolutely no evidence to convict Amanda Knox of murder.

That is true but that doesn't matter to the Muslim world.

Holder said he will be convicted and put to death FOR SURE.

If I were on the other side and saw the conviction, I would naturally assume it was not a fair trial and the conviction is no good, if I were inclined to think things like that.

I would be willing to bet the terrorists wouldn't beleive the outcome of any trial guilty or innocent, so my point was that so many posts about the Knox case, there will be infinately more with the KSM case on certain boards.

The idea is the same. A foreign country trying somebody they already assumed was guilty, same end result.

only flaw is we will not fly Commercial Airlines into the leaning tower of Pisa or a skyscraper if Knox is not set free
 
Ethereal,

Okay, I read the article today. Yeah, there are some serious problems in this case. I'm not convinced anymore that she's guilty. I still think some of her behavior was weird after the incident. I can see how a loss of sleep can cause someone to say things that they dont' even mean. But the kissing while they are searching her place is weird, IMHO. Does it make her guilty? No. Maybe she's not an emotional person (which I actually think is the case here). If she was acquitted, I would be fine with it.
 
1. I am not a lefty
2. I will not believe that until I see the evidence
3. I want proof the chain of evidence was respected
4. I want copies of all Italian police work
5. I want to see EVERY LAST PIECE OF EVIDENCE
6. I want independant lab testing of all evidence

Also ... it's interesting that the seemingly patriotic right .... is so willing to throw an American citizen to the wolves ... based on a verdict in a kangaroo court.

I smell a double standard.

No, Italy isn't third world, it has it's own established legal system.

And the next time an Italian national or any other foreign national gets into capital trouble in the United States, I fully expect that nation to respect our decision to fill their poor little boy's or girl's veins with poison until they die, as our laws mandate.

Amanda Knox had a fair trial in the land where she committed her crime.

End of story, there.

Fair trial? FAIR? What ever it is you're smoking I want NONE of it.
 
I see that no one wants to tackle the issue of the knife that I have put into question. If you can't tackle such an issue as the MURDER WEAPON then how in the world do any of you that think she is guilty expect anyone to honestly say that she is guilty?

I guess those without much criminal justice, or at least Procedural and Criminal Law, background and little knowledge of courtroom procedure would see nothing to debate with your statement. Apparently court cases can be won almost entirely on circumstantial evidence. :\ At least in Italy (or at least in Italy when it's an American :lol:)

There's an appeals process, so it's not over yet. Since the initial trial was a complete farce, she will probably be acquitted.
