  • Knox and Sollecito are guilty as the day is long!

  • Amanda and Rafaelle are innocent as heck. Check out Injustice in Perugia website.

  • "what do you see as the biggest challenge in proving Amanda Innocent?" .... hahahaha the fact that she's guilty might be difficult to work around lol !!

  • what a waste...Amanda could have had a very bright future in the world of porn

  • QUE TE PUDRAS EN LA CARSEL AMANDA , I HOPE SHE WILL BE SCARED FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE , AND TO BE FEAR ALWAYS .

  • For anyone who is interested in the facts behind the media spin, and who cares to learn more about the victim of this terrible murder - Meredith Kercher - there is an excellent discussion board

    Perugia Murder File

    as well as an interesting blog

    True Justice For Meredith Kercher

    These online resources are not for profit. Anyone can read and/or participate and people from around the world do. They have followed this case since November 2007.

  • Amanda's first sexual experience was family related, if you know what I mean.

  • I see no Bert on here.

  • I really wonder why Bert as such a high powered lawyer with too much time on his hands, working in Italy - so conveniently close to the case and with such overwhelming interest and also self professed highly placed intellectual friends - why bert doesnt do some actual work on this case pro bono as a pose to flutter around youtube in what he describes a McDonalds Happy Meal fashion?? Get a life Bert - if you were anything - you would be doing something useful 24/7 everyday!

  • Bert is an idiot. His life is youtube. He is as much a lawyer as I am curt Knox, HEHEHEHE

  • I saw no one named Bert on this video. Did I miss something?

  • Bert is a loser, his arguments make no sense, I wouldn't pay him ten cents to represent me. lol

  • bert if it makes you happy to prove that you are a lawyer to me then so be it. You still havent been able to tell me where your friend Judith is this weekend ;) It must really bother you that I know and you dont ;)

    Just to make you happy bert - you win! Good boy :D

    Im going to go back to more anonymous commenting and analysing the case - I never revealed any of my skills before I felt obliged to reveal your stupidity - now Ill go back to just that!

  • Im going to stop at scribbling over the internet what I am or am not. If you want me to be a law grad - then I will be, just for you ;) - I There is no automatic appeal in the UK - whereas in Italy there appears to be an appeal available to anyone. In the UK you must have a legal reason - not factual - to be able to get an appeal and it really rarely happens in one year. Now if you could just understand this basic fact we could continue with the rest BERT

  • No one cares about the paragraph you just translated. This was not in the Micheli report either. Let me remind you that the jury were fluent in Italian so even if others read this and come to the wrong conclusions - the jury would have understood what she was saying?!

    In any case this is not part of the damming evidence that is against Amanda, written out in my post bellow. But you still want to tell me the answer the most basic question - where was amanda that night?

  • Um, her diary was written in English, how would that have helped a jury fluent in Italian?

  • THIS is how the carabinieri translated the same passage (if translated back from their Italian translation into the English):

    "That night I smoked a lot of marijuana and I fell asleep at my boyfriends house. I dont remember anything. But I think its possible that Raffaele went to Merediths house, raped her and then killed. And when he got home, while I was sleeping, he put my fingerprints on the knife. But I dont understand why Raffaele would do that." No wonder people want Amanda's blood.

  • days, well, I just highly doubt all of that."

  • Amanda writes: "Raffaele and I have used this knife to cook, and it's impossible that Meredith's DNA is on the knife because she's never been to Raffaele's apartment before. So unless Raffaele decided to get up after I fell asleep, grabbed said knife, went over to my house, used it to kill Meredith, came home, cleaned the blood off, rubbed my fingerprints all over it, put it away, then tucked himself back into bed, and then pretended really well the next couple of

  • Along with this there are - mixed blood with Meredith's blood - mixed DNA - scratch marks that were on her body the day after the murder - the DNA on the murder weapon - the shoe prints - the phone calls - the DNA in the room the murder was staged - phone records that prove she did NOT call police - witnesses - forensic experts that testify this murder involved more than one person
  • Her claim of abuse by police was investigated - however Amanda could not identify the woman police office that allegedly hit her several times.

    In any case the Supreme Court in Italy crossed the confession from the records. But Amanda has yet to produce an alibi. The first and most basic part of criminal procedures. OF COURSE because she was involved in the murder. When you eliminate the impossible you are left with only the truth - no matter how improbable

  • Amanda claims that she was with her boyfriend, Raffaele, the night of the murder. He maintains that she left his house at 9pm and returned at 1 am. Thus even her co defendant does not give her an alibi.

    Where was Amanda when Meredith was murdered. This is the first question any suspect is asked and one that Amanda has yet to answer. NB she did confess that she was at home when Meredith was murdered and heard the screams, but she withdrew her confession and claimed she was physically assaulted.

  • Whilst bert likes to talk about Virgil and try to outsmart me on matters of law which he most clearly does not understand. I am more interested in going back to the only reason I ever posted on these boards! Justice! There is so much evidence in this case that clearly points to AK and RS as being beyond doubt involved in the case - all censored in American media - for a government report on forensic facts and timelines proven by CCTV and phone records the Micheli Report can be read

  • Yes, Giselle, noone on these boards has any understanding of the law except for those of you who believe in your ham fisted way that Amanda is guilty. You obviously know something about the law (you read like a new graduate, lazy intellectually, quick to conclusion). You know just enough to be dangerous.

  • Giselles stated (I repaste here in case she elects to remove proof of her lack of preparation): "I was observing that in the UK there is no automatic right to an appeal and it is very much news to me that this is the case in the US. Also facts are not reviewed in courts of appeal unless it is on a matter of law. The facts are only considered by the jury in the trial."

  • Il video mostra come è stato manipolato il gancio per recuperarlo dalla scena del crimine. Gli investigatori, con indosso professionali tute bianche, sembrano impegnati in qualche gioco bizzarro. Perché queste tute? In realtà non fanno nulla per evitare la contaminazione del materiale presente sulla scena del crimine. Le tute, e i guanti, vengono subito contaminati dal DNA presente in vari punti della scena e diventano quindi un pericoloso veicolo di trasmissione per le prove.

  • This contamination that you like to speak of is a matter that must be raised by the defence. The burden of proof is then on the defence to prove that in fact such contamination has taken place. This is the case in most legal systems that I am aware of, it would be ridiculous to propose that the prosecution would have to prove that scientists have done their job correctly - as they are assumed to have done so. This is the same concept as guilty until proven innocent. No contamination was proven.

  • 1) We are not talking about the procedural burdens of evidence but rather those aspects of the case that give one pause, and that make your often rabid assertions about Amanda's "obvious guilt" look shrill, mean spirited, and suspect. 2) It is precisely the various, obvious errors in what was done, what wasn't done, and how the evidence was interpreted (perhaps badly) that legal scholars agree will form the strongest case for overturning on appeal. Live by the DNA sample, die by the DNA sample.

  • AK's father is "scum" this is a matter of subjective opinion so I fail to understand why you would insist on arguing this point? The conversation is static as neither of us will change our view.

  • Oh, now your assertions that her father is a "scum" which you based on reference to outlandish comments he NEVER MADE, is merely a "subjective opinion." A reasonable person in your position would concede that a faulty video helped you jump to the wrong conclusion and retract or at least qualify your earlier position. You instead tried to show you a) had reservations all along (not true), and that b) in any event, he is a scum. It calls into question your judgment.

  • I was not aware that there was a retrial of the facts in the States.... seems rather absurd because the right to appeal must be based on legal issues and not a dispute of the facts. The facts are for the jury to decide and therefore cannot concern a court of appeal.

    In any case I do not concern myself with questioning the system - Italy has its own sovereign state and whether you like it or not Amanda has had a fair trial in accordance with the laws of the country.

  • Why would you, especially if you beieve in the superiority of such a system and show little understanding of any other. The idea that you would on the one hand offer up an opinion about the relative advantages of the Italian appeal process (based of course on your lack of knowledge of U.S. criminal procedure) only to then cut the Gordian knot by declaring a trial fair to the extent that it abides by the laws of a Sovereign State is a subtlety that clearly escapes you.

  • I was being sarcastic. In any case I was stating my own opinion about legal systems. This makes absolutely no difference to the case as it is once again a purely subjective point of view. I was observing that in the UK there is no automatic right to an appeal and it is very much news to me that this is the case in the US. Also facts are not reviewed in courts of appeal unless it is on a matter of law. The facts are only considered by the jury in the trial.

  • Um, there most certainly is an automatic right to appeal for one convicted at trial of a capital crime in the UK. As for your last sophomoric statement, that is not true either. The scope of appeal for capital crimes in both the U.S. and the U.K. allows for a review of both the facts and the law.

  • Bert

    In the Uk there is no automatic appeal. Any appeal needs to be granted and the facts can not be the reason for an appeal. Only on matters of law.

    There is no review of the facts only the law. Only in exceptional circumstanced where there is substantial new evidence presented to the court.

    I dont need to prepare - but nice give away that you actually prepare your comment ==> have no legal knowledge!

    Once again what does it matter what you and I are or are not - only justice for Meredith!

  • I did not say there is an automatic appeal, There is no "automatic" appeal in Italy, for that matter. I said there is an automatic RIGHT to an appeal. As in Italy, the apeal notice needs to be filed. As for de novo review (you are so plodding in your answers it suggests you are either only newly admitted or have very little litigation or transactional experience), both the UK and the U.S. allows for such not only if new evidence is introduced, but if there were any kinds of procedural error.

  • procedural error is an error in the law bert but you would know that - or should I use the layman's language so that you can look it up faster. I never announced that I was a practicing lawyer, merely that I was qualified and that was enough for me to know that you do not have any legal training. Your reasoning and your arguments are not that of someone who is trained in law. Let me add that a practicing lawyer would not have the time that you have to dedicate to youtube! You are always here!

  • Actually, if anyone on these boards has demonstrated their propensity for imprecision, conclusory argument, and obtuse reasoning, it is your Mr. Giselle. I am always here not because I am not a lawyer, but because I am one. I like to spar with you while doing my real work. And it is fun to know that you continue to reach the wrong conclusions about most anything we focus on for more than two or three back and forths which then triggers you to jump to ill conceived ad hominem.

  • Once again, you are verifying what a bad Virgil you are. Complimenti.

  • As far as I was aware there were only two pieces of DNA belonging to RS found at AK and Meredith's apartment - one on a cigarette butt and the other on the bra clasp. Thus there was no reason to prepose contamination. In any case contamination is a matter that is to be proven by the defence in courts.

    Also it was testified that the amount of DNA found on the bra clasp was significant and could only get there by RS actually having touched the bra.

  • What most legal scholars believe? Legal scholars where?! In the US? You dont seem to acknowledge the difference in the legal systems or the fact that all these points were raised in the first trial and have been heard by the jury.

    In any case there is an automatic right to appeal in Italy, so there is no need to discuss grounds for an appeal. The second trial is almost a retrial and all the evidence will be reconsidered. I believe this is a better system than the UK and US for the defendants

  • Once again, Giselle, you quietly skulk away from your hysteria and do not address your contradictory statements that led you to label Amanda's father a "scum" based on your belief in the video of a prankster.

  • As for your lecturing about legal systems, capital crimes in the U.S. afford the same right of review (an automatic appeal) as in Italy, which allows for a review of both the legal and substantive merits of the trial. Moreover, the whole point of a jury trial is to allow the accused to be judged by a jury of one's peers, and by as unbiased a jury as possible (requiring, de minimis, sequestration and little judge interference). There are sound reasons for sequestration and only non-judge juries.

  • sul gancio del reggiseno di Meredith è stato rinvenuto il DNA di Raffaele e non che il DNA di Raffaele, e quello di diverse altre persone, è stato rinvenuto in vari punti dellappartamento di Amanda, dove Raffaele era stato più volte prima dellomicidio. La prima frase è chiaramente incriminante. La seconda frase, più precisa, dimostra invece che il test eseguito è privo di fondamento se non si esegue un test di controllo (che non 'e successo).

  • legal scholars believe is the strongest basis for an appeal: the strong, science based rebuttals to the handling of the scarce DNA evidence that was not admitted.

  • For anyone interested - the Micheli report is there to read and the judgement on the Knox-Sollecito case will be available in about a month. All the evidence is clearly laid out in a government document and the issues raised by the defence have been rebutted point by point. The forensic evidence, the timeline, the witness statements and the phone records and internet records. There is no reference to foxy knoxy or anything else FOA want to blame the verdict on - pure factual analysis.

  • Once again, in citing the Micheli report it might be useful to read the defense's rebuttal's to the Micheli report. It might also be worth taking a look at what most

  • Justice for Meredith Kercher - Knox with rot in jail and then later in hell. If anyone is interested in the facts that have been censored by the American media the judges report from Guede's case can clarify a lot of points. This is an official government document and not some media frenzied statement about foxy knoxy - the facts are laid out and the judge has decided to indict them based on those facts. (Micheli Report). The reasoning for AK's case will be out in March.

  • There is no censorship in America vis a vis reporting on Amanda Knox. That is an idiotic claim. Americans have set up sites that declare Amanda's guilt! The U.S. is not Italy. Most Italians know of Amanda through tabloid Mediaset reporting. While the mass media might have generated undeserved criticism of Italy in general, the "censorship" in Italy resulted in influencing Amanda's JURY -- far more relevant in this case.

  • Curtknoxify is a fraud, and Giselle has continued to cite him to justify his own screeds against Knox and the Knox family. This is pretty atrocious stuff, by anyone's wreckoning.

  • We have all read the Micheli report. But unlike the unseasoned and varifiably mysogynistic Knox haters who populate these boards, this is not the FIRST such report we have read and it is one persuasive document drafted within the context of MANY persuasive documents, both pro and con. Gisselle, as a famous Italian professor used to say with regard to interpreting Dante, is a BAD VIRGIL. His opinions are driven by a barely concealed animus which clouds his judgment and objectivity.

  • Bert

    you think I was just born hating Knox? Or do you think I am Meredith's sister? Why on earth would I hate someone i don't know?

    In any case if you could explain where AK was that night, maybe thatbwould be a good start! RS says she left him

    at 9pm and came back at 1am! So she wasn't there! Also why is his bloody footprint in the crime scene? Ehy is her footprint there and how does this lead anyone to assume she is innocent?

  • You are a very strange, largely hysterical person, who repeats the prosecutions assertions over and over again. There are answers that raise very serious doubts, but your mind is shut except to launch your venemous attacks from these boards. You also ignore Feminism 101 when you assert that you cannot be a mysogynist because you are a woman. Mysogyny is NOT determined by biology, but culturally.

  • misogyny is the hatred of women - now if that what I practice that means I hate myself and therefore your logic is warped. It has nothing to do with feminism. Now if you want to discuss philosophy you can talk to me after you have read Butler, Zizek, Lacan and Weininger! Come back and Ill give you another reading list. When you are finally educated enough to have an educated discussion, Ill entertain your conversation. In law I have proven you know nothing! Ill do the same with feminism!

  • Actually,Judith is a friend with whom I have worked with professionally in the past, and certain of the dialogues on these boards are going to be folded into a journal piece for a post structuralist review published out of Berkeley. I say this by way of disclosure, as the views of Italian speakers like Giselle will figure prominently -- if not necessarily identified.

  • hahahhahahahahahahahha! You will stop at nothing will you?!?! hahahahahhahaha

    Ok so start talking philosophy ;) Dont do what you do on the Knox case and just blurt BS qualifications and leave it that. I have genuine interest ... lets have an educated philosophical debate - where you cant hypothesise about flying DNA and floating bodies.

  • Read some Diacritics, take a course or two in cultural theory at Yale or Berkeley, and learn the fundamentals of feminist/post structuralist theory and you might have a productive discussion with a class mate or two. But your posturing on these boards suggests you have your work cut out for you.

  • bert

    You are an idiot. Really there is nothing else I can add to that. But its endearing how you really try to sound intelligent. little notti this is youtube - here you can be anything your heart desires. I know you know nothing about the law and you obviously dont understand philosophy - youre just hoping to sound clever posting your imaginary qualifications and network of friends.

    I just realised I dont care - all Im posting for is JUSTICE FOR MEREDITH KERCHER may she RIP

  • what a powerful, trenchant rebuttal -- you called me an idiot, and tried to dismiss my credentials, thus reaffirming your missionary zeal and proto-authoritarian bent. Giselle, please, clarify for the audience here the veracity of your assertion that Amanda's father labeled Kerscher's mother a devil. You were so sure of yourself, what happened?

  • Curtknoxify has claimed that he is Amanda's father - I have always maintained that I am unsure of his credentials although his attitude does fit the general pattern of the Knox clan arrogance - his video on youtube clearly shows Meredith's mother in tears labeled 'the devil' or something to that effect. Its on youtube you can look it up - personally I felt sick watching it!

    bert as I said before I dont care about you! or your fake credentials or 'imaginary' friends. Whatever makes you feel good.

  • Moreover, your inability to spot an OBVIOUS fraud, and to react so emotionally to a puerile youtube hoax tells us all we need to know of your analytical abilities.

  • bert I refuse to entertain your commentary any longer

    I can tell you are a fraud because I am actually a qualified lawyer - its not difficult to spot that you have no education in the legal sector.

    The guy (curtknoify) claimed to be Amanda's father - I believed that he was - but no longer am certain of his credentials because if he is - he is a huge idiot! We shall know in the appeal based on what curtknoxify has said if it really is him posting.

  • You are contradicting yourself. You yourself wrote "I have ALWAYS maintained that I am unsure of his credentials" If you were unsure, why UNEQUIVOCALLY state that he is scum BASED on the an OBVIOUSLY false posting. The answer is obvious, you are motivated not by an objective wreckoning of the truth, but by a hate-fueled emotionalism that leads you to hasty, often irrational conclusions. And of course you ar wrong on two counts, because I am a lawyer (how good or bad is besides the point).

  • If there is anyone that doubts the findings that is because the trial coverage has been incredibly one sided.

    If you want the truth look up the Micheli report - there are english translations available on True Justice for Meredith Kercher site and the Italian report is available in a government website. There all the gruesome details and forensics evidence (160 pieces) has been revealed. Including the reasonings against the fairy tale reasoning of the defence.

  • The trial coverage was anything but "incredibly one sided" in Italy, where I live and observed the reporting on the proceedings. I and other Italian friends of mine, including lawyers and trial attorneys, do not see this in the hysterical black and white terms that you propose. I would say about one out of five of the Italian lawyers with whom I converse -- who have no horse in the race but have followed the matter -- think Amanda is completely innocent. You sound like a complete novice.

  • I have read the Micheli report and the defense attorney summations in the Italian, thank you very much. They are powerful, but not definitive. You are a bad Virgil, a mysogynist, and oddly invested in a matter that has nothing to do with you. Whatever merit to your arguments, they are easily overwhelmed by your ad hominem, conclusory propositions, specious reasoning, generalizations, emotionalism, and inability to incorporate even a trace of counter-argument into your one sided disquisitions.

  • Comment removed

  • Bert if I were a misogynist I would have to hate myself! Is this the logic that you propose I follow?

  • Giselle is on a crusade. It is often the case. In a trial where most moderate observors can see weaknesses in the prosecution and defense alike (which is PRECISELY what makes this case so startling, there are those who march onto here, playing out their infantile self righteous antics, not hearing how tinny their reasonings sounds to the circumspect or observant.

  • The Police DUPED Amanda into talking about her sexual history. I challenge ANY non hypocritical Italian male on these boards to talk about their sexual liasons with prostitutes (most every Italian male pays for sex). Police willing to dupe Amanda are also capable of having her, under (duress) stress, imagine who could have done it -- only to make her hypothesis look like a confession. She was in a foreign country, barely able to understand the language, at 19, being interrogated. A total mess.

  • Lizzie Borden reincarnated

    Lizzie Borden took an axe

    And gave her mother forty whacks.

    When she saw what she had done

    She gave her father forty-one.

  • Guilty as charged - all facts available in Michelli/Migini Reports! The jury was UNANIMOUS! Amanda's parents need to seriously think about the monster that they have created with the obvious NO morals approach they have taken to this case! Its disgusting!

    Her father said that he would only extend his condolences to the Kercher family when his daughter was found innocent! But the Kerchers stated that they felt the pain of all those parents involved and also loosing their children! RIP Meredith

  • @Giselle1403 Never never never tell those lies, again!

  • @curtknox

    You are an example of the vile scum that live on this planet!

    On another video you said "Meredith's family can go to hell for all I care" - this itself describes the dirt that you are! And that "thing" you call a daughter!

    I can redirect anyone who wants to this comment of curt knox - or simply check out the video he has - stating that Meredith (RIP) mother was the "devil"!!!

    SCUM

  • And what are you an example of, Savonarola del cazzo.

  • Curtknoxify is a fraud -- certainly not Amanda's father -- and Giselle has continued to cite him to justify his own screeds against Knox and the Knox family. This is pretty atrocious stuff, by anyone's wreckoning.

  • So quick to outrage and to judgment, so quick to reach a definitive, all or nothing opinion, that transmogrifies into assertion and denunciation. Be suspicious of the savonarola's in our midst.

  • What are you going to do curtknox?!?!? KILL ME??? I have NEVER lied you scum! But I want to know if you are telling me not to spread the truth and point people to the Micheli report where the details of what your daughter did and the forensic evidence is laid out - if you are telling not to do this... What will you do if I dont stop?! KILL ME?? does that sound familiar you "thing" (not even an animal kills for pleasure like that "thing" Amanda did)

  • Just the kind of shrill, bombastic and self-important response one would expect from someone with no horse in the race other than his ("its") ego. That you attack as "scum" a father who in good faith believes in his daughter's innocence, and that you then, with the proto-authoritarian aplomb of the Fascist, curse and dehumanize his daughter, speaks volumes as to your own psychic stability. Why so hysterical, Giselle? Is your self-adorned superhero outfit starting to itch?

  • There was a jury and she was found guilty of murder! NOT human - not even an animal kills for pleasure. If you dont agree thats your call.

    BUT when this sick father makes a video and says that Meredith (the victim slaughtered by his daughter) - Meredith's mother is a devil and shows images of this mother crying!!! That is SICK - if you dont agree you are not human! Im hysterical because I am human and I cant begin to imagine the pain the Kercher family has suffered.

  • Knox stated that she spent the night at Raffaeles apart. when he refused to corroborate her story she then said that she was in the kitchen when Patrick murdered Meredith. 2 weeks later when Patrick airtight alibi checked out Patrick was released Knox then said that Raffaele murdered Meredith and was trying to frame her. She has since changed he story at least twice. You people need to accept that your daughter is a rapist & murder.

  • @KimBaileyHere Lies. Her story was always that she never had a "story", she's a victim of circumstances beyond her control.

  • Let's get this straight. You are smart enough to KNOW that DNA evidence will incriminate you, and therefore you take steps to cancel MOST ALL TRACES of yourself, except for the ONE person who is CLEARLY at the Scene of the crime (Rudy), but then you FINGER Patrick KNOWING that the DNA evidence will exonerate him? This is CLEARLY a case of police who do not understand English, interrogating a scared, seriously confused and stressed kid, and reading her confusion as further reason to press her.

  • Free Guede!

    - His DNA was found on the victim but it could have been contaminated.

    - No physical evidence of him being near the break-in room.

    - Given the methods of the Italian police there is strong reason to believe Guede was forced to make a confession.

    - The Italian media has character assassinated him and the jury was not sequestered so he didnt receive a fair trial.

    - No murder weapon was ever found.

    - Jurors likely motivated by racism.

    - Italy is corrupt in general. Berlusconi.

  • - He had no motive.

    - The prosecution believes in a satanic ritual. Come on.

    - The prosecution showed an animation. There could have been an octopus in it.

    Very odd that the same people who distrust the Italian justice system and upholds a very stringent standard for evidence "beyond reasonable doubt" are at the same time very quick to finger Guede... Very selective criteria there. But I guess blaming the black guy is one of those superior features of the US system Europe has yet to master.

  • Do tell us when we can expect to see an Lybian University President in Italy, much less a Prime MInister or President. Italy is one of the most xenophobic, culturally provincial countries in the G8. Notoriously racist, homophobic and mysogynst -- so much a part of Italy's cultural fabric that if you object to yet another Italian white, middle class mamma's boy labelling a black person a nigger, a gay man a froccio or a woman a bitch you are labelled as "politically correct."

  • So you want Guede acquitted yeah?

  • @Xunziwise

    Very good and accurate irony my friend.

    Too bad it couldnt convince no knox-defender, I dont think they're reknown for their rationale.

  • Amanda Knox is guilty as charged. She is a murderess. Her case was heard by 19 separate judges. The evidence was felt to be 'overwhelming'. Indeed the verdict was UNANIMOUS. The only thing that was not unanimous was whether to give her life or 26 years. Luckily for Knox this 'barbaric' country her parents are anxious to portray, showed mercy and gave her 26. I would have given her life personally. Evil beyond words. Not fooling anyone with a brain cell Amanda...

  • MultiTommy - The TROLL

    Continues to haunt this video PRETENDING to be German.

  • @Tommyboy

    PROSECUTORS don't CONVICT anybody, dummy! Prosecutors merely gather evidence and try to present a case based on them

    1 - First - A JUGDE decides if the prosecutor has a case or not - if not - the case is desmissed

    2 - Second - If YES - A TRIAL takes place

    3 - Third - The JURY decides the VEREDICT

    STOP blaming Prosecutor Mignini - THE JURY COVICTED Amanda Knox!

    If Amanda Knox was innocent she should have told the TRUTH from the begining instead of LYING through her teeth!

  • MQM you rule! lol

  • She ia expected to be home for Christmas!!

    She did murder! ,but thats US people ,

    they seem to have a special rights,just

    like OJ.

    Fuck the US and all its people!

    Hope she rots in hell

  • Its abysmal the way Knox's parents are handling the case. In the United Kingdom, there is a different mentality. If one of our own citizens is convicted abroad with mounting evindence against them, the typical outlook is "fuck`em".

    Even when a British tourist was jailed for 2 years in Thailand for defacing a poster of their King the general census agreed while it may seem minor to us, dont screw with the customs on any particular country while your in its borders.

  • MQMrules...I love all your comments...especially this one...that nasty looking ex-wife of his is probably his number 1 customer. That's probably where they met and 9 months later had that little sex maniac. I had my mouth full of popcorn when I read this one and laughed so hard I almost choked.

  • good. this bitch Knox deserves the death penalty for murder

  • LMAO, that what I was thinking too lol.

  • maybe they should look deep in their brains and hearts. I 'm sure they will find the "real killers" there!

  • I don't know whether Knox was guilty or not, but it is obvious that she didn't get a fair trial. In Italy, you are guilty until proven innocent, unlike in the USA. Any Italian will tell you that their entire government, and judicial system, is hopelessly corrupt. Besides, the Italian media are treating her the same way the US media treated Roman Polansky (i.e. character assassination, and populist witch-hunting); I cannot abide unfairness in court.

  • Your system is totally corrupt and stupid isnt it.  The criminal comes first, victim second, people walk free on technicalities, black people are prosecuted and middle class whites like knox walk free, you electrocute people like knox we dont. Your police are like nazis point guns at people for the flimsiest of excuses. Twit

  • How is the American media so pro-defendant in this case? If she wasn't young, attractive and white would they care? Really. Surely the U.S knows murder happens on a daily basis on their own door step.

    The way this whole thing has played out is so bloody disrespectful to the memory of Meredith Kercher, her name isn't even in the videos' description.

    Nationality aside, would American's side with the murderer? I know that's very unrepresentative, but your media speaks for you...

  • her parents are ultimately to blame!!! They too should go to jail!!!

  • I adore the way Knox's mother seems to revert to stereotypes. 'The big black guy did it!'. Just because one of the suspects has been found guilty doesn't preclude her daughter (or, for that matter, anyone else!) from also being guilty...

    What kind of an argument is that. Also what kind of program is this?

    This isn't about honest US citizens vs. the corrupt Italian government... If the US suspect was a big fat guy and he was found guilty you wouldn't have his family venting their beliefs!

  • i dont know what knox is smiling about

  • What you said made no sense.

  • """"What century is this? Didn't Joan of Arc, the Inquisition and our own American Salem witch trials teach civilized nations a thing or two about contrived sexual hysteria with a devil twist?""""

  • I believe that any family that has a daughter falsely accuse will speak out and that is prove that they have nothing to hide. The family of the victim cannot say much because they have nothing else to hold. Can you not see why a father or mother will show up for a living son or daughter. It has nothing to do with American or British is just being People.

  • GUILTY FILTHY YANKKKE SCUM

  • Compare the way the Meredith Kercher family has dealt with the murder of their daughter/sister, to the way the parents of Amanda are behaving. Knox's parents are on American TV so often; you'd think they had their own show. The Kercher family; in contrast, has stayed away from the media & have behaved with dignity & class.

    I hope this slut American murderer bitch and the other two guys will suffer and die prison. Finally justice has been served for Meredith Kercher's family.

  • Guilty as sin!

    Her dad blaming the black guy of course!

  • This shit-for-brains Ned Flanders and his dumb broad wife had better get used to the notion that Foxy's guilty as anything. Her behaviour in the hours after the discovery of the murder scene were not the actions of a grieving friend. Cartwheels and callisthenics in the police cells? "Gee-golly-whiz-bang-wow, Amanda spent the night at Raff-eye-ell-ays house, and she's been coerced..." Dumb, self-deluding mooks.

  • How can I say this

    G-U-I-L-T-Y

    She has guilty written all over her forehead!

  • A number of posters think this girl is beautiful. She's not even pretty. There are a lot of women who are beautiful...but this one is far from it. Beauty is Fran Drescher, Liz Taylor and more on the list. None of you have seen women in my neighborhood...but some are beautiful. I just fail to see beauty in this cold-blooded murderess...inside or on the outside.

  • lucyb213...you need to clean up your filthy mouth. Your abusive language is not impressive. If anything...you are degrading yourself. I did not say she was pretty. As far as being a bitch...I am not now...nor have I ever been... nor will I ever become a female dog in heat. It is obvious you have a potty mouth. It's bad enough that you disrespect yourself...but show some courtesy to other posters by being a lady. I'm sure your mother is a decent woman & would not approve of your vile tongue.

  • When Amanda goes to hell for her role in this crime she will have access to all the sex and drugs that she desires she should feel right at home.

  • Amanda and her boyfriend are GUILTY! Go figure? Amanda is from Seattle WA aka Westcoast aka Land of Flakes + Nuts aka Hippies. Seattle rains a lot to be covered w/darkness. So for Amanda to travel outside her habitat? Maybe caused a mental and physical reaction to do this murder?

  • Come on, don't blame the city for this one, if she is, she is cuz her behavior or some other reason, do not blame the place. I am not from here, and I don't care where she is from.

  • Call my attorney. So we can discuss this in court. HA! HA! HA!

  • Coal burner - GUILTY

  • アマンダノックス(Amanda Knox)の両親?><

    父親の「CURT」は何て読むのかな?

  • she is guilty as hell

  • Comment removed

  • She was high on drugs so that says a lot to me. It annoys me how her parents are certain she is so innocent and they were not even there. The whole case is just weird I hope they convict the right people.

  • Go figure? Amanda is from Seattle WA aka Westcoast aka Land of Flakes + Nuts aka Hippies. Hope this answer your question? Seattle and the rest of Pacific Coast: WA, OR, and CA is a nice place to visit, but not to live. Trust me, I used to live out there. Glad I left!

  • Didn't know that... I have no idea about the area she is from. Over here in the UK to us she is just portrayed as a girl from the USA with an innocent look.....although I think 99% of people here believe she's guilty.

  • It's hard to believe how many people on this post feel that Ms. Amanda Knox MUST be innocent because she's pretty. "Signor Defense Lawyer, what-a proof you have-a that your client is innocente? Why,your Honor,she-sa pretty,molto bella! Si,Signore Defense Lawyer, Signorina Knox is bella- pretty-so the Court finds her innocente-No Guilty!" Yeah,right,folks-keep dreaming.

  • Innocent. Prosecution has consistently failed to tie any "evidence" together.

    Free Amanda Knox.

  • Comment removed

  • she is a liar

  • Is there any outside factors that are involved; blackmailing, coersion, coverups (something seems deeper) Then you must look at the itialian judicial system how circumstantial is the evidence (or ar they grasping at straws). IS the trial fair, and proper and done in a manner that leaves no question of criminal intent by the prosecutors before all evidence is presented.

    Lots of questions I for one say that shes guilty, she has no logical alibie and she had DNA on Merideth.

  • Not having a plausible reason of what you were doing at the time, shutting off your cell phone off are VERY incriminating factors; When they go against your usual pattern.

    Other factors are how there mental states were altered or affected (at that particular time); drugs, alcohol, other stimulants.

    ,

  • With this case the one expression that comes to mind ~ "is there is more than meets the eye"

    I think that first of all the metholodgy for going for evidence, and closing off the crime scene (there was apparently tampering after the fact) was asinine.

    I think at this point in time everyone is guilty who is around that crime scene. The extent they are and the legal ramifications the can be convicted for, may all be different, BUT a dead body does not exist without some knowledge or reasoning

  • Because Knox lived in the apartment with Meredith Kercher it's not surprising her DNA is all over the place and on the bra clasp. It is standard practice for police to interrogate suspects until they are so tired they don't know what they are saying, try to scare people into a confession and twisting / misquoting statements. I hope she is not convicted with this questionable evidence. I've seen a lot of documentaries where it was proved people were wrongly convicted.

  • I don't think she is guilty. It seems the police and prosecutor are going to extreme measures to get a conviction. Perhaps the authorities think they will get a feather in their cap by convicting someone with flimsy and likely fabricated evidence. Even the motive is a fabricated assumption. Amanda's DNA is naturally all over the place where she lived and anything in contact with with with her DNA in the apartment would become contaminated with her DNA.

  • The old saying of "If it looks like a duck,walks like a duck and quacks like a duck-chances are it is a duck" Guilty as charged Your Honour! Forget the parents defending their offspring-that's only natural,Think of the dead girl and her family!

  • Your daughter changed her deposition, accused someone innocent (who's suing her for defamation!), has footprints, cell texts and many other proofs against what she says.The Italian justice system is not different from the US dear father. Saying "It's not the US, so everything must be primitive, wrong, not up to standard" makes you sound stupid. I'm an Italian and US citizen, I follow the case and what it is based on is EVIDENCE, not what the media says.I hope Amanda is convicted if found guilty.

  • what's up with psycho parents sticking to their effin murdering spawns til the end, lying all the way?? i would never stick to a relative if they are being accused of murdering someone, or raping/molesting someone. that is just pure insanity.

  • she's guilty as charged.

  • I think that Amanda's father is a nuthead too.

  • She's sick.

  • Guilty or not guilty, can we all agree that she's smoking hot!

  • shes a psycho...

    A hot psycho, but a psycho nonetheless.

  • Amanda is creepy

  • she's changed her story

    she levelled accusations at an innocent man, all sound like the actions of a guilty person to me..

  • GUILTY AS O.J.

  • Amanda Knox is a pathologic liar and a mad disturbed person , she looks to be guilty beyond any doubt 'cos of tens of coincident evidences .

    The investigators made a wonderful job and all the ones who follow this horrible case since the beginning know it so well.

    Despite the lobby of some one way nationalistic US media, true facts & evidences count, hypocrite shameless biasing TV specials don't.

  • Looking at the unbelievable pretension of impunity for their murdering fellow coming out from a relevant part of the US ( with no reason at all since she's clearly guilty ), looking at their bizarre sense of justice, I think I have a more added reason to not go& travel in those lands.

    We all know so well how mistaken can be the investigations and what kind of shows are the trials down there in America ( US , Mexico and related countries ),

  • If the girl was ugly, nobody would think she was innocent. Come on people!

  • It has nothing to do with looks. This is a rape murder case to me. Facts: Rudy's handprint in Kerchers blood, his bloody handprint on a pillow case, his bloody prints on her purse and on her cell phone. Attempts to call her bank from her cell phone. He fled the freaking country hiding and didn't call auhorities. Meredith Kerchers killer has already been sentenced to 30 years. I don't want to hear about knox false statement. Google innocent project or douglas preston.
