Again,
1. Not sure
2. I think she'll be found innocent
Posted 7 months ago # -
I thought she was already convicted?
So this is an appeal right?
In that case I think she'll be found guilty again.
Posted 7 months ago # -
Don't really care... but what was the basis of the appeal?
Posted 7 months ago # -
dunno, think she'll be set free though

If she was black and living in a lot of American states she'd have no chance of avoiding the electric chair.
Yer parents have a plane on standy to get her out of Italy if she gets released so that she can't be rearrested if the state appeals.
The USA as a safe place for a convicted/suspected murderer to flee to - quite ironic, really.

Bikebouy - according to my Italian source, under their laws as she has filed an appeal she is technically no longer guilty - the appeal is a re-examination of the facts of the case.

Is she Hot or Not?

Where's the relevance to the subject? Or are you just waving your 'I'm so PC flag'?

Wasn't the murder slightly irrelevent?
Hasn't she just been tried and convicted of being female, better looking than most murder suspects and in possession of a libido?
And therefore a threat to the very fabric of society itself?

she did it,
Posted 7 months ago # -
probably innocent
Posted 7 months ago # -
Probably guilty......
OF BEING A WITCH! BURN THE WITCH!!

I think she'll be found innocent though of course no idea if that is correct or not.
On the whole though I think the media circus that has surrounded this case has been appalling. The victim seems to have been largely forgotten about and the tabloids have acted like some kind of obsessed schoolboy when it comes to Knox simply because she is good-looking.
There also seems to have been a pretty vocal effort to slander the Italian court process and staff though again no idea how accurate this is.

'I'm so PC flag'?
sorry, I thought the latter half of my comment clarified my position.
For the hard of reading;
That someone who has been convicted (and if released) subsequently cleared of a murder in Italy would choose to get to the US in aprivate plane as quickly as possible (a country where, even in cases where there is a confession from another person and convincing dna evidence of a persons innocence they still insist on executing them) for fear of re-arrest/retrial struck me as ironic.
Hence a) relevant to the subect (her guilt or otherwise) and b) drawing a comparison between the Italian and US judicial systems in respect to appeals against a previous guilt verdict.
Not sure why that's getting 'PC', really.

1. No idea.
2. She'll be freed.
A film will be made of her 'ordeal'.
Meredith Kercher will be barely mentioned.Never mind eh?

Guilty.
Won't get off.
Victim's family get to suffer more as next appeal gets lined up.
It would be nice if the Knox family members would express their regret that their daughter's room mate died every so often.

She is hot, but a bit loopy.
Surprised SilvioB hasn't sidled in there yet....
Posted 7 months ago # -
Hmm but she doesn't look evil...
... so can't possibly be guilty
Posted 7 months ago # -
guilty by complicity
let off on a technicality.
Posted 7 months ago # -
So they all deny taking part or being there at all.
But Meredith Kercher remains dead, and, unless anyone seriously believes that a convenient evil stranger just happened to be in the vicinity (possible, but really unlikely), than at least one of the three who were accused and convicted must have murdered her.
I'm going with GUILTY.
Posted 7 months ago # -
Well a convenient evil stranger just happened to also be convicted of this crime and will be spending the next 25 years in prison.
Don't know who really did it and don't really care, just hope justice is done and the Kercher family get some peace.

Guilt by media. As Binners says, the real crime here (apart from the murder, obviously) is the sickening media circus that has arisen because an attractive girl has been convicted.

what tyres for the Italian legal system?

There is another bloke already doing time for her murder
Posted 7 months ago # -
Don't get how the Ivorian guy is already in prison for it, whilst Knox and the Italian are also in prison but there doesn't seem to be a coherent picture involving the three of them. It's almost like Meredith was murdered twice, and the two parties are in prison for the same crime, done differently. Just my impression from the news - not followed the events carefully or nowt.

Hardly a stranger.
But leaving him to one side, the Knox/Sollecito alibis just don't hold up. If they get off on appeal, it will be as much due to the ineptitude of the Italian police and prosceuton team as anything else.

Wasn't he meant to be their dealer, and the crime some sort of alleged drug fuelled orgy (to pinch a phrase from the daily mail) gone wrong?
He claimed to be on the loo when it happened. Any idea why his sentence got halved from the original 30 years?

Ohh yeah I remember now.. All those comments about "Foxy Knoxy" Yeah I remember them, caught the media napping whilst a void of other news stories sidelined for this, Iraq/Afganistan yadda yadda..
I seem to remember the case having been transcribed in the media, in whole (or am I dreaming??) Can't think why this case has been so "popular". Poor Student gets killed by ... (who really knows,insert your suspects here) whilst on an Uni exchange, sucha very sad event and no doubt in some way spurned on by the "it's dangerous in Foregin lands" limited view'ists..
Still, I'm expecting it to be shut down before Lunch too.

I was in the kitchen at the time
Then..
I was at my boyfriends flat at the time
Then..
My boss at the winebar where I worked did itWhilst in for questioning at the station she decided to do cartwheels. Yeah, if she was normally-minded wouldn't she be shell-shocked and 'oh a housemate has just been murdered'/****/crying etc.
Now, if she was ugly with short hair would the media have even bothered with selective reporting on her?
Someone innocent is dead yet £1m has been spent trying to free one of the conspirators in the event.
Posted 7 months ago # -
Are we really sure she's good looking?
Really???
Does that matter?????

I thought the traditional wisdom was:
Blonde hair, sweet and nice therefore innocent.
Brown hair, nasty and evil therefore guilty.
Lets see if it still stands.
She really did miss a tactic not changing her hair color.
Posted 7 months ago # -
None of us will ever know if she's guilty or not.
Whining about the media coverage is a bit pathetic though - it's just how human nature operates in the world of global media.

Except bottle blonde = far more evil than any natural hair colour.Posted 7 months ago #
