Re: Amanda Knox verdict coming at 6PM
Yeah I don't think they had enough evidence either. Hopefully she won't be extradited to Italy. Maybe the gov't can get on it and help her case out. From everything I've heard about the Italian justice system (mostly based on this case) it seems like they are pretty quick to rush to judgement without evidence.

Re: Amanda Knox verdict coming at 6PM
I've followed this one extensively for the last couple of days.
Unfortunatley the case is far from over - Knox's family is going to appeal which may take up to year. The prosecution have went on record and already said that should a subsequent trial find her innocent, they will then appeal. It could be an endless cycle according to italian law. There is something that can be done, an end to the proceedings called, but i don't know the word for it, and the article i read said that it has only happened about a dozen times in the whole time italy has been a country. Extradition cannot happen as long as appeals go on, so as long as her family continues to have money, Amanda will remain free as long as the appeals are ongoing... Also, U.S. legal experts have stated that it is extremely unlikely that an extradition request from italy would be honored. My gut says that she is safe... Legal experts here all contend that there was not enough evidence to convict her the 1st time. This re-trial occured without any forensic evidence what so ever....crazy when you think about it

Re: Amanda Knox verdict coming at 6PM
You'll have to forgive me if I could care less about what some Italian court does.
Italian court convicts scientists for no quake warning Those guys are a worst sham than our judicial system.

Re: Amanda Knox verdict coming at 6PM
While the Italian courts seem like a travesty, this guy gives a good breakdown of why she isn't necessarily as innocent as US media would have you believe:

Re: Amanda Knox verdict coming at 6PM
It really looks to me like the Italian judges in this case let Knox go, just so after she was outside the country they could "find" her guilty again to save face domestically, without making the US mad.
It's disgraceful that Knox and Sollecito served any time at all, and that Sollecito figuratively and literally still isn't "out of the woods". |

Re: Amanda Knox verdict coming at 6PM
There was a time where I use to judge women who tried to get involved with men in prison........now I get it.
I <3 Amanda Knox. Mrs. Amanda 59 has a great ring to it. or better yet Mr. Dirtbag Knox.

Re: Amanda Knox verdict coming at 6PM
So the update as of today is that the Italian Supreme Court (I don't know the actual name for it) has over-turned the original conviction, so Amanda Knox and Rafaelle Sollecito are free under Italy Law.
I don't know much about their legal system, although i've been told they do not have double jeopardy. I think this is finally the end of this trial, although i'm not sure... Can anybody who knows international law confirm this? Is this case finally over after more than 8 years of trial, appeals, etc...?

She gotta rock the long hair. She looks like an international serial killer with that short hair.

Re: Amanda Knox verdict coming at 6PM
I know British history is a compedium of evil, selfishness, and spite, but I don't understand why the British public was so dead set on Knox getting convicted.
