Prosecution Takes A Hit In Amanda Knox Trial

[c0uchp0tat0e1]

@ruide1966 I suspect that the truth will win out this time - the 'evidence' is non-existent, whereas the last time there was some manufactured rubbish that could be used to support this injustice. I really would like to know why Stefanoni tossed her reputation away to back up that oaf, Mignini. Any ideas?

[c0uchp0tat0e1]

Mignini is a nut who believes in witchcraft and Stefanoni is simply incompetent.

[c0uchp0tat0e1]

Mignini is a nut who believes in witchcraft and Stefanoni is simply incompetent.

[kimatoz3]

@ruide1966 Well, since NOW you are slicing to ribbons my reading/writing capacity, I will need to say that I always excelled in this field throughout my education. Sorry ruide.

I see nothing mysterious about you. You are quite transparent in your intolerance of anyone that believes knox to be guilty as charged!

[kimatoz3]

@ruide1966 Oh, yes, I forgot... only the prosecution team are satanists and you just called the police forensic investigator, Stefanoni an "intellectual PROSTITUTE." Oh, yes~ and we, the rest that believe knox was involved in Meredith's horrific death are.... GUILTERS...oh, except for me, as now, according to YOU, I am INSANE. So, I guess I am an insane 'Guilter'.

You should really go in for psychiatry, ruide, as you seem to be able to read into the depths of everyone in cyberspaces psyches!

[kimatoz3]

@ruide1966 Jeez, the way you go on and on about satanists in knox's murder case~ you try to tar everyone that believes knox is GUILTY with the same brush!! I certainly am not a satanist and I am quite positive that the others that simply feel amanda knox is GUILTY does not mean for pete's sake that they are frickin satanists!

Quit being so EXTREME. Are casual citizens of the world not allowed to form their own opinions?

[Nyjeen3]

She is innocent. Lets not forget the investigators have either misplaced, lost, or destroyed like 4-6 crucial pieces of evidence. That is very serious, not just something that can be swept under the rug. Someone needs to be fired. The other 95% of the evidence is just pure bullsh-t, or outright fantasy. Like that 'second knife'.

[pustebluemchen79]

omg sometimes it is really sad to read the comments here........italians ARE NO more racist than ANY other country in the world..........

[BenLK1]

I knew the police were full of it regarding this case when they sued Knox for slander! "Oh, we're so upset, gosh you hurt our feelings,we're so sensitive" Please!! Did they think about Amanda's rights when they interrogated her for 14 hours straight? Or arrested the bar owner without checking his alibi first? These guys are 1st rate bunglers and they fact that they're so sensitive to criticism only proves it.

[kcscribble19]

Amanda Knox is gulity and her family should be ashame of themselves if you were innocent than why would you change you story, change your demanor when theres a movie about u(which is so BIAS in my opinion), act all suspect when your about to get question, lie and say an innocent black man did it and smile and act everything is all peachy throughout the trail? Did u know that all of Amanda Knox's stories that she wrote were about rape and murder? This girl is clearly a socipath!!!!!!!!!

[bille77]

knox is innocente. I've known her mself from bach then.

[FreeAmandaKnox]

FREE AMANDA KNOX!

[smiledollface]

@FreeAmandaKnox R.I.P MEREDITH KERCHER!

[thebing69]

All evidence points to the nigger! Everything else is just hearsay! Fuck Italy's justice system and fuck that German pedofile they worship called the" Pope!" Boicott all Italian products!

[thebing69]

@kimatoz3 P.C. Bleeding heart liberal! GAG!!!

[kimatoz3]

@thebing69 Am I a "bleeding heart" because I believe Knox is guilty as charged? Or cause I am positive Guede did not act alone?

Oh, I get it! It's cause I hate the racial slur "nigger." Save your foul tongue for an exclusive KKK site! LOSER!

[thebing69]

@kimatoz3 Oh oh okay! Fucking whiney little bitch!

[nickslick75]

Fight the FOA! Knox is Guilty!

[mrharryrag]

"Everything I have said in regards to my involvement in Merediths death, even though it is contrasting, are the best truth that I have been able to think." (Amanda Knox, 6 November 2007).

[kimatoz3]

Interesting and a little "telling," that Raffaelle made mention in his testimony that he hardly knew Knox. Obviously, he is trying to seperate himself from her....

Gee- I wonder why...

[jfbrodriguez]

Knox is a liar! She told lies after lies and lied again. She is being officially sued by the Italian police for slander after claiming that she was verbally abused and hit during interogation (she was informed of this on the 21/01/2010) which is not true but a stupid and desperate attempt to free herself from the mess she is in. Her parents are being investigated as well for defamation. All the Knoxes are doing is hurting the case even more than it is and that's good since she is guilty as sin!

[FreeAmandaKnox]

@jfbrodriguez

What the hell is wrong with you!

You can't see that the police suing someone for slander is ridiculous!

What if the police sued every civil rights leader in America for slander during the early and mid 1900s.

Martin Luther King would be sued daily!

Suing people for REPEATING their daughters claims about police brutality, supported claims at that, is absolute LUNACY!

[rennerts]

concordo, ma loro ci hanno fatto il culo nella seconda guerra mondiale, quindi e giusto che noi parliamo la loro lingua invece che loro la nonstra, anche se la nonstra e piu bella.

[TheMikeholly]

to Amanda Knox-BURN IN HELL, YOU EVIL WHITE TRASH BITCH!!! RIP Meredith Kercher!

[mykelpaulson]

Is anyone else having issues posting comments on Youtube?

[mykelpaulson]

@ KimBaileyHere - Yes, there were two bathrooms, but why didn't she clean the one with her DNA mixed with Merediths blood? Did they check for blood in the bleached bathroom? What was found in the cleaned bathroom? They had to find something otherwise it's just irrelevant and who cares if she bleached it. And, I'm well aware that her DNA, hair, etc. was in the rest of the house, but why not in Meredith's room? Do you realize how hard it would be to remove yourself from a room?

[sammydabull100]

wow prosecution take a massive hit..lol no, i dont even know why it take that long to convict her it was so obvious she was guilty

[hkjazz1]

All these accussations of miscarriage of justice point to one fact: Americans really suck. They alienate themselves from the whole world. They are the wealthiest barbarians ever lived, just because of sheer luck.

On what ground do they think Italians hate them? Idiots please go study geography and history and have less sex.

[EvenThroughFire]

Right, because insulting complete strangers with barbs that range from playground behavior to speculation doesn't alienate you from anyone. Please go study how to be polite and at least respectful in delivering a critical or dissenting opinion.

[hkjazz1]

I know you are educated and behave well in the public. So does Amanda Knox. Please show me that you can think too.

Reasoning is an ability that makes man different to chimpanzee. Not nice talk, manner and political correctness. Yes I am rude, l am a Red Indian. But I can think. Don't you realized your polite opinion have also insulted a whole nation of complete strangers living in Italy?

[EvenThroughFire]

Actually, "nice talk, manner, and political correctness" are all items that separate man from the chimpanzee. Also, how is it that you so matter-of-factly declare that my opinion insults all Italians? Have you talked to each one of them? And what exactly was the offensive opinion? I wrote no such opinion at all.

[hkjazz1]

No, I have not. But when you are beaten up by a couple of Italinas in Rome, your senator will blame anti-American sentiment again. I wish Obahma would address this.

[stilx]

she a very lucky girl. In Italy no death penalty. 26 years does mean about 20 years maximum in jail.

[aquabluegrl]

Not all Americans are on her side i am American and i am not defending her infact i know many Americans that are glad she got charged..My heart goes out

to Meridiths family the real victims here..

[giuliopoli69]

...There is no a system of justice that is perfect in the world, but I'd feel safer in Italy than US if I committed a crime, no doubt.. All the rest is only US grandiosity or racism against old Europe

[giuliopoli69]

What these people are talkin about? First: in USA this girl would have a nice letal injection, in Italy & Europe we are more civil, we don't have dead penalty 2nd: In Italy we have 3 degrees of trial: Assise, Appello and Cassazione.. this is the first trial for Amanda. In US, I think, there's only one degree of trial... 3rd: The judge can decide to put in jail someone before trial in 3 cases, one of this is "the risk of escape"..like Polanski did.. ..

[balukk]

Few month ago An italian student killed a nigerian prostitute just for fun. He repented and cried and now after few months in jai is again out of jail,

Nobody goes in jail in italy, only stutpid arrogant people.

[aquabluegrl]

I also noticed the broad never ever

looked remorseful or sad about what

happened to her roommate and whats

sickening is here some people on the

news were talking about her and her

family like if they are the victims..instead

of the real victims family..

[gnrrox33]

She didn't do anything, she was fearing for her whole life, why would she be remorseful for something she didn't do.

[columbmurray]

How do the police investigate a murder if they don't go and look at the body stupid ? If that is contamination it would mean that the murdered must lie where they are and rot . I suppose in the US the police go away and get a white suite before they are allowed to look to see if someone is dead or not . The American comments on this trial reveal how narrowly Americans view the world and just how selfish they are,no thought for the victim.

[teleroylichtenstein]

Add that the Italian media emphasize that the prison sentence for Amanda and Raffaele is a very very sad.

[teleroylichtenstein]

Also, in Italy there is no anti-Americanism. But there is definitely respect for people of all nationalities, especially in a city like Perugia. Raffaele Sollecito is Italian and was sentenced to 25 years. It 'was given to them 25 and 26 years instead of life imprisonment.

[gnrrox33]

Did you know that Italy is the most racist country in the world

[teleroylichtenstein]

Italy is the most racist country in the world? Who told you this nonsense?

[jeffski65]

last time i seen anyone acting the way knox was acting before her trail and during it was when i watched a documentry about the manson family.

she would slip right in threre wid charlie boy and his killer chicks!!!!!!

[kimatoz3]

@jeffski65 Yeah- and also check out Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. It'll ring a big bell!

[dougcl79PUREHARDROCK]

@teleroylichtenstein

I think it's more accurate to say Americans are some of the dumbest people in the world.

[ycformosa]

@teleroylichtenstein

I live in USA, an Asian guy. I can tell you from my experience with many American Italian, I'd said it is true most Italian guys are racists!

[max10wonderboy]

@ycformosa

What has to do racism with this case? you just pathetic. Moreover racism is everywhere not just in italy or between italian americans

[ycformosa]

@max10wonderboy

it has nothing to do with racism on this case. I am only express my thoughts about American italians.

[max10wonderboy]

@ycformosa

For what purpose then? overally yours is just a generalization by the way

[odmcarp]

@teleroylichtenstein there should be a law against making such an ignorant comment. who made this comment? i was born in italy, and visit often. i can personally say that italian people are sensitive to everyone. i don't see hate in there hearts or their eyes. including myself. when it comes to people i am color blind. only an ignorant person can make an ignorant comment out of pure ignorance. they should think before they speak ill of a whole culture. "a grain of salt"

[newjerseydev]

@teleroylichtenstein america is the most racist country. i lived in italy for many years and while italians arent perfect i thought in general they were good people

[teleroylichtenstein]

Amanda has lied several times, gave different versions of the story, why this? Lei he lied and blamed a stranger to crime, why? Senator Maria Cantwell said he has serious doubts about the Italian justice system and the fact that anti-Americanism has been able to pollute this process: Well, these statements are absurd. The italian judicial system is among the most advanced in the world.

[bluepastry]

La sinistra la spinta liberale dai mezzi di comunicazione è sconvolta così che i loro obiettivi liberali non possono proteggere Amanda Knox. Non ho mai visto una bava di mezzi di comunicazione sopra quest'assassinare la sudiciona liberale. La maniera i mezzi di comunicazione di sinistra ha coperto la pista è stata completamente il pregiudizio e facendo sembra come le autorità italiane sono appena troppo stupido. L'alfabeto ha avuto quest'innocente di maiale dassassina. Un altro esempio come

[grenadewar]

dont use babelfish or other translations, i cant understand your point as this translation just sucks,lol

write it back in english and it will be clear :D

[kyran12345]

It's always the same in any heated or contested trial,people try and criticise the investigaters to draw away from the strength of the evidence gathered.

[travitheMuffinMan]

Thank you Kim! At least you've got brains.

[BryantFinlay]

there's plenty of reasonable doubt in this case. i think knox was involved in covering up the murder, but i don't she killed kercher. guede more than likely did that. it really is sad this whole process is being dragged out because the italian legal system is too lazy to work 5 days a week. we all know a trial like this in the us would take a few weeks

[KimBaileyHere]

What sane human being gets involved in covering up a murder that someone else committed? Would you mop up blood someone else spilled? Of course she was involved in the murder.

[BryantFinlay]

humans cover up murders for each other all the time. i have seen the evidence in the case, and it proves that guede did it. there is no conclusive proof that knox did it. in fact, some of the evidence would probably have been thrown in a U.S. court. in fact, i would have liked to see Chief Justice John Roberts try the case. I have no doubt he would have thrown out a ton of the evidence and would have gutted the prosecution's case

[KimBaileyHere]

What you are saying makes NO SENSE. Why would Amanda cover up a murder Rudy committed then say that it was Patrick - then say it was Raffaele. Rudy was involved and so was Amanda. You want evidence type "How Damning Is The Evidence?" here in YouTube. That is just one of the many clips showing evidence. AK cleaned the bathroom, no one else could have. Explain to me why she would clean the bathroom for Rudy. PLEASE.

[BryantFinlay]

a more reliable source would be CNN's exhibit on the evidence that discredits every single key piece. it doesn't help that Italian csi improperly gathered it either. regardless, the whole case is a mess thanks to some shoddy investigative work and a corrupt prosecutor under indictment. as far as covering things up, anything is possible. i think all nine of the SUPREME COURT justices, considering their expertise, would shake their heads at this case

[KimBaileyHere]

Bryant, you have obviously forgotten you were the one who said AK covered up the murder. I saw the bloody bathroom only AK could have cleaned it. Of all the reports I have read about the case CNN is the most inaccurate. BUT you still did not answer my question, "Why would Amanda clean up a murder that Rudy committed?" PLEASE

[gnrrox33]

She didn't clean it up, why would all of Rudy's DNA still be all over there and none of hers, how can she can amazingly know whos DNA was which. How can explain that at 915 she was at Rafaellle(records proved) and then in a 15 minute span find a man they didn't know plan the murder, for what reason?! Rafaellle had know Amanda for 2 weeks and there is no motive.

[KimBaileyHere]

Knox most certainly did clean the bathroom Guedes DNA was not found in that bathroom it was in the bedroom - PERIOD Guede was Knoxs drug dealer and she admitted under oath that she had know him Just because the prosecution didnt find a motive that does not mean Knox was not involve She most certainly was - YOU NO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS CASE

[gnrrox33]

wow good English, it shows how ignorant some Italians are. You think that marijuana would cause someone to kill someone, its not fucking meth or heroin, all marijuana does is relax you. Also how ignorant can you be to say that you don't need a motive, why would girl with no criminal record and no real known problems kill someone for no reason. You are soooo ignorant.

[KimBaileyHere]

If you want to know why Knox killed Meredith - ask Knox!

[mykelpaulson]

@ KimBaileyHere - Guedes DNA was found on the toilet in the bathroom and she just happened to miss the blood in the bathroom while she was cleaning it? Try this, instead of typing on here. Go through your room, or another room it doesn't matter, and remove only your finger prints, hair, skin cells, etc while leaving other peoples untouched. Good luck, it's not possible.

[KimBaileyHere]

@mykelpaul - There were 2 different bathroom, 1 w/ Guede DNA and 1 where Knoxs cleaned. You dont even have the most commonly known facts. Knoxs prints, DNA, skin cells were found in every room in the house. Like I said you dont even have the basic facts.

[victormathieu]

quote: "She wouldn't hurt a fly", 'Psycho'...

that guy very poorly chose his quote haha.

[travitheMuffinMan]

Most Italians hate both of them.

[BryantFinlay]

public opinion doesn't determine guilt or innocence

[travitheMuffinMan]

I didn't say that, are you really that stupid?

[BryantFinlay]

you implied it

[travitheMuffinMan]

And the problem with that is... Omg, I'm so sorry if I thought they were guilty. Did I hurt your belief in their innocence concerning the murder?

Stupid people like you need to learn to not make a big deal out of something more than it really is.

[Maybe you should move out to a deserted island so then you won't have to worry about things that people say that you happen to disagree with.]

[BryantFinlay]

and you need to stop insulting people to make a point. it looks bad. besides, take a look at cnn and you'll see that the evidence is null and void. any reasonable federal judge in this country would toss out a lot of it, and you can bank that Chief Justice Roberts would do it as well

[mrharryrag]

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.

[lekkki1]

C'mon people!

Amanda Knox:

has changed story repeatedly (as soon as previous story is discredited).

accused her "boss" of the murder, who was questioned, but then released.

Repeatedly lied to investigators about her whereabouts before, during, and after the murder.

What is not to get? evidence or no, she is guilty. Lucky for her, she will get a light sentence, and go home in 7 to ten years. Italian prisons are far better than american ones.

[fatherchaky]

why cnt the black guy tell wat happened?

[DickyHertz]

> So, I'm kind of leaning towards a sex game gone wrong

I don't think so. I think Knox and the others plotted to help Guede rape Kercher. Then either intentionally or unintentionally Knox delivered a fatal stab wound to Kercher's throat. I will be surprised if she and her boyfriend don't spend decades behind bars.

All the evidence (not just DNA) points to all three being involved. Knox, like Guede, has changed her story several times since her arrest.

[tatianaevans76]

amanda knox is a sick killer.....the bitch will pay,...and the fahter is a sad idiot trying to make poeple believe somthing that DOES NOT exist! sounds racist, they think everything will be over and their little manipulator whore will be free to do more crimes since A BLACK man is in jail! how sick, they try to wrap it up by saying that the actual killer is behind bar so to close the case!!! hahahahahahahahhaha

[luchpockets]

I am surely sorry for Amandas parents.

This is very sad.

[luchpockets]

I do wonder about Amanda' changing of her story, I don't believe she was confused.

I've seen blogs telling of her being a sexual manipulator.

So, I'm kind of leaning towards a sex game gone wrong / accidental killing and cover up.

What do you think ?

[luchpockets]

"Anyone heard anything about the hair found in Merediths hand?" Is this true ? I found this question being asked I had not heard this.

[Carolina10019]

A joke. This is a Mickey Mouse court and they have contradictory testimony on evidence gathering. Perugia is a small town by US standards and they have no experience in cases of this nature; therefore, what people have said about the poor evidence gathering is a high likelihood.

[thedebzz]

That is rubbish! This is not the USA, it is Europe, why would it matter what it is 'by US standards'? You cant just throw money at a case and get away with murder here. It is a highly respected court, why would you assume it has no experience with cases like this? The defense are relying heavily on the PR machine set up by Knox's parents.

[BryantFinlay]

oh, you mean a court that's in session two days a week? that's a laugh. the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT is the top court, not some lazy italian court

[Teutgard]

But SHUT UP IGNORANT AMERICAN DICKHEAD!

[glennjridge]

oh shut up. you can act tough online, but I've been to italy and I dont think I saw one man who was above 5'5. you are like a country of men who look like little girls.

[Teutgard]

You are truly well-informed about Italy, you filthy american RACIST.

Shut the fuck up, you obese hamburger-eater cowboy.

We are NOT americans and we DO NOT HAVE DEATH PENALTY!

[glennjridge]

I dont think you are inferior, I just think your only contribution to the world is? food with sauce on it. and your hateful comments prove how uncultured and nasty you are....but short men always are kinda mean to make up for lack of height I guess

[Teutgard]

But FUCK OFF -the only IGNORANT INEDUCATED MORON IS YOU AMERICAN, carry on eating your fucking hamburger you violent drug-addicted raper, Already the fact that I speak your RIDICOLOUS language that is nobilted only by being of 40% composed of LATIN words, shows who has better culture among us -AND I AM A NORTHERN ITALIANS and we ARE WELL OVER 180 cm, YOU FILTHY AMERICAN ASSHOLE.

[glennjridge]

mamma mia! they say italian men are very close to their mothers. did your mother teach you to talk in such a vile trashy way? I think you need to learn some manners little man.

[Teutgard]

Do you know what I CARE of your PATHETIC WORDS?

NOTHING!

Amanda will be judged in Italy and stay sure we will find IF she is innocent or not.

Don't you like us? NUKE US! DECLARE WAR TO ITALY AND THE REST OF EUROPE, AMERICANS!

[glennjridge]

all I know is the only one with the ugly ignorant uneducated personality is you. going by your nasty language. your mother and father didnt do a proper job raising you. you dont talk like someone who went to college. you talk like a common street thug.

[Teutgard]

Sure, I am Italian SO I MUST BE A SICILIAN MAFIOSO.

It's pretty useless to speak with DICKHEADS like you, the only "knowledge" that YOU AMERICANS have of the Italians, unfortunately for us, is the GODFATHER.

I am a NORTHERN ITALIAN -Reggio Emilia.

You know that NOT ALL ITALY is Neaples or Sicily? No?

Things are too complicated for a limited yankee brain.

However, I still LOVE THE USA, I THANK YOU FOR THE WW2, and I can accept critics to my country, but NO SLANDERS.

[Teutgard]

Ah, WE DO NOT HAVE "college", in Italy, you american-centric idiot.

Italy is NOT only "pizza, mafia, and catholic church",

Italy -North especially- is a VERY RICH and ADVANCED industrial country, the 7th WORLD ECONOMY, only slightly after Great Britain, Italians were some of the greatest scientists of all times (like ENRICO FERMI who invented the Atomic bomb, along with others of course).

You MUST have RESPECT for MY COUNTRY, you dirty racist rednecks pigs.

[Teutgard]

GOT IT? Now, return shooting the negros.

[glennjridge]

I dont have respect for a man who talks like a little street criminal. your mother and father obviously were dirty peasants.

I have no time to talk to small italian men who have the bodys of girls and act angry online.

[glennjridge]

sorry I'm straight, maybe in italy you men swing both ways and like other men but I dont.

[Teutgard]

You do not even make laugh, you're bit like some charachter of the Simpsons -nice sitcom by the way-

What I have to say?

Have you been to Italy?

Have you ever talked/met/seen in person ITALIANI (Italians)?

No? As all the ignorants, carry on living in a World of certainty.

Apologize for my offenses, you deserve nothing.

Bye!

[Teutgard]

INFERIOR PIECES OF SHIT Go to look who was Cristoforo Colombo Dante Alighieri Leonardo Michelangelo Galileo Galilei Alessandro Volta Galvani Enrico Fermi AND AN ENORMOUS OTHER NUMBER of SCIENTISTS, POETS, ARTISTS, MUSICIANS and HEROES that ITALY HAS PRODUCED.

[Teutgard]

America? WHAT THE FUCK HAS AMERICA PRODUCED IF NOT DEATH PENALTY,9/11 INSIDE JOB and GUANTANAMO?

[wolfennyc]

Yeah OK now we're supposed to believe like O.J. evidence was tainted or planted.?...I don't think so..... all 3 Knox,Sollecito and Guede all guilty

[YooTuberrrr]

The defense will try ANYthing. Often that means successfully discrediting the prosecution's evidence instead of providing their own evidence of innocence, such as a bullet-proof evidence. Justice is a joke...

[YooTuberrrr]

Correction: "the prosecution's hard evidence" & "bullet-proof alibi"

[BryantFinlay]

look at cnn's coverage of the "evidence" and you'll see it's not as concrete as it appears. the italian justice system needs a lot of reform, which starts with working five days a week and limiting media bias so trials like this only take about a month or two and jurors aren't influenced by a blatantly biased press
