Amanda Knox & Raffaele Sollecito freed on appeal in Kercher case

[thebigfella]

The whole thing stinks. I think the right guy is probably in prison but the behaviour of Knox and her ex-boyfriend is very suspicious. I have no idea what happened but if they were completely innocent was it so hard to hard to stick to a story, why point the blame in the wrong direction and given that they were each others' alibi, why fall out?

I think it's all that far left  Obama's fault.-

Makes a change from blaming Israel and Jew's.

This whole thing stinks i read the book on it last year and been following it quite a bit and i think its ridiculous that they got off. If i was a juror and she was in front of me they would both be going down!

Explain then. My looking at it suggests alot of the pointers suggesting their guilt are "gut feelings" and circumstances rather than hard tight evidence.

Strangest thing is that both their phones were off on the night in question and they just couldn't back up a reason why this was the case and it was noted by investigators that their phones hadn't been off prior to this for any prolonged length of time. Seems to be plenty of stuff like that, but hardly enough to throw away the keys.

I know nothing about this case.
I haven't followed it at all.
I have no interest in the evidence produced at the trial nor at the appeal.
I haven't heard any statements from the families involved bar the bits that have been in the news over the last few days.
I look at Knox and I am convinced she did it, she has the look of a baddun hidden behind those baddun eyes. 
Disgrace that she got off

To be honest with you id need to run me eyes over the book again as it was a while since i read it. I do know that before reading it i had a completely open mind and after reading it they disgusted me and i thought it was glaringly and blatantly obvious they done it. As for hard facts i need to read it again as to what put them away at the original trial. It was an enthralling read from what i can remember. Must hoke it out tonight again if i can find it. Would be interesting to read it again knowing what has just happened now

I've heard people who have read the book say that she is a very messed up individual, they doubt she done it but that she was just very extreme in her lifestyle and a troubled person. She would have been incapable of covering up what she had done.

Must read it myself.

who wrote the book?

surely it should be taken with a pinch of salt given that the juicier the content, the more it will sell. Extreme in her lifestyle, what does that mean? she liked promiscuous sex? 3 somes? recreational drugs from time to time? watersports? a story can be spun and sensationalised to make even an ordinary Joe like me look like Robert Downey Jr's wingman back in the day..

As your namesake once said "say nothing till ye hear more!"

I never give any credence to books, documentaries, newspaper reports etc about anything anymore.  Everything and everyone has an agenda and unless I sat through the evidence myself I would find it very hard to make a definitive decision on whether someone is guilty or not.  I have actually sat through a court case and found it hard to determine whether a person did do what they were accused of. 

The Italian Prosecution service are appealing this so they must feel that there will be a strong enough case to re-convict.  I wonder will the PR machine still be able to keep momentum through an appeal?

Thats true lad.  I have often thought if i was charged in the wrong for murder, that my internet history would see me locked away for the rest of my days

Is this the book that commentators reckon will be first up in a defamation case? Just wondering which one it is as there is more than one in it.

How anyone believes Amanda Knox should be in jail tonight is beyond me. The verdict was not that they could not prove it beyond reasonable doubt but that 'no crime was committed.'

She might not fit the profile of the girl next door but the way her past and some of her actions were portrayed was absolutely shocking.  To make things worse this is what many people believed made her guilty rather than the absence of any credible evidence. Scary stuff. Imagine your future in the hands of a jury of such people if one was ever unfortunate enough to end up in a similar situation.

You will have to explain this. How was no crime committed? Did Amanda Kercher commit suicide?

No she didnt. The verdict was no crime was committed by Amanda Knox or Raffaele Sollecito.
