An Italian judge has ordered Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend to stand trial for murder in the stabbing death of Knox's British roommate, Meredith Kercher. A third suspect was convicted Tuesday and sentenced to 30 years. (Oct. 28)
Knox and Sollecito may end up joining Guede in prison. We'll have to wait until around Thanksgiving to find out their fate. He was already sentenced, because he opted for a fast-track trial.
If you're asking why Knox supporters believe she is innocent and Guede is guilty, it's because the forensic evidence against Knox and Sollecito is circumstantial and contaminated, while the evidence against Guede was properly collected and clearly indicated his guilt.
knox told in one of her accounts of the event, she held her hands to her ears so she wouldnt hear the screaming of the victim, And DNA was found on the knife that had also the victims DNA on it, She must be guilty, She thinks she is in a soap opera, she ll wake up soon enough
Even if Amanda Knox is guilty, convicting her with the circumstantial and contaminated evidence the prosecution has put forth would set a terrible legal precedent and basically give the Italian government carte blanche to lock up whomever they wanted whenever they wanted.
We have evidence, trials and procedures for a reason. If you can lock someone up on the basis of a forced confession and sloppy forensics, you might as well put on a Gestapo uniform and make it official.
The only reason to question a suspect for 14 hours straight without a lawyer is if you want a confession regardless of guilt or innocence. And after 14 hours of brainwashing, they charge her with giving a false confession. What professionals.
At any rate, even if you believe Amanda Knox is guilty, the point is that all the evidence is circumstantial and/or contaminated. Locking up a person because of the look in her eyes or her demanor is mob justice, and mob justice is never true justice.
Knox is a typical example of a middle-class attempt to escape proper justice. Look at her eyes and her demeanour - she is as guilty as that Susan Atkins Manson piece of shit. She knows she's guilty and is trying with her clever - mummy and dadddy funded lawyers - banter to elude what's coming to her
moron, it was a knife from where they lived. A kitchen knife! And there's no evidence the knife was used in the murder. Hell the prosecution isn't even sure if that was the murder weapon. God help us all if you're ever on a jury. REASONABLE DOUBT. Thank god for America. The Italian criminal system is a joke.
Hmm maybe Amanda caught her boyfriend messing with Merideth in there shared room and all hell broke loose?

The evidence against K and S is substantial and the FULL facts can be found in the Michelli report ....
The DNA is not the only evidence! and the circumstantial evidnce was so overwhelming that no one could look away ...

What ?
If there is DNA evidence, a faked alibi and the fact that she and her boyfriend have cleaned the flat after the crimeis not enough, what is enough?

Why R. Guede was sentenced to 30 years, but A. Knox and R. Sollecito not?
