Amanda Knox: innocent or guilty? What do you think?

If i'd just spent four years in prison for a crime I didn't commit I'd be grinning like a Cheshire Cat on my release as I'm sure most people would!

 

yea ....

but I would not have grinned, laughed out loud and done cartwheels in front of international television on my arrest and on my life sentancing?

 

Cartwheels in front of international television!? Link us to the video of it happening.

One of the cruxes of this case is trial by media leading to judgement buy the masses. A major point sadly proven by your post.

Cartwheels in the police station were claimed by an Italian Police Officer who later said he wasn't sure if he'd seen her doing a cartwheel or the splits. He was later relieved of his post.

there's lots more ....

don't always believe what you read in the papers .... this whole trial has been a fiasco .... The USA vs Italy ... read between the lines and you may have a different view point

I believe (in my heart) that she should not have been released ... but I also believe she never personally commited the murder but she was an accomplice ....

but as I said, that my viewpoint on what I have read .... I frequent several conspiracy sites where this subject has beeen discussed in great detail

 

The Rolling Stone article is interesting because it includes some information I've not heard anywhere else. For instance, it suggests that the other students who were sharing the house made sure that they were well out of the way as soon as the murder came to light. The Brits went home and the Italians called their lawyers. Amanda Knox was advised to leave too, but stayed because she wanted to be there when the victim's parents arrived.

It could all be nonsense, of course, but then as Axl says the 'cartwheels' story appears to be very suspect. The negative stories seem to have been the ones which have stuck. I think Knox's body language is a bit strange, but that's not proof of anything except that she's a bit gauche.

 

You can't link to the event because it didn't happen.

You linked to a google search for amanda knox cartwheels. 50% of those results resolve at the officer being relieved of his post after claiming Amanda Knox did cartwheels.

Quote *dim* "done cartwheels in front of international television"

Link please.

 

I am tired now and hve have an early morning tommorow .... am about to go to bed .... but don't despair!

I will bump this thread and link a few very good threads on this one that discusses the whole case in great detail

 

Sleep well mon petit chou-fleur!

Don't bump this thread until you can link us to the video of Amanda Knox doing cartwheels in front of International Television.

You claimed it, prove it.

I'm really not interested in anything else you have to offer until you can prove that you can back up your claims.

 

Pro Knox :-)

"An innocent of street life home girl"
ME having met a man at a concert at the twenty minute interval goes off and lives with him that same evening for SEVEN nights only returning to her own pad when he needed to borrow a MOP
They guy lives in an uptown appartment with his won Audi 7 provided by his well off parents
So after seven nights sleeping with him (an innocent home girl) in a good apartment, goes to her pad to borrow a MOP ?
On arrival and finding the door wide open and no one in, goes straight to have a shower (did his posh flat not have shower facilities then)
Notices a spot of blood in the sink (Never noticed all the bloody footprints along the floor and out of the door though)
No one else in the house and all wide open but Merediths door was locked
(Oh she must have tried the door then ? and not noticed all the blood on it)

When Knox used a hair dryer in the second bathroom, she saw the feces in the toilet. Knowing none of her roommates would have forgotten to flush, she started to suspect an intruder. She grabbed the mop and left the house in a panic.
After telephoning her roommates — and reaching one, Filomena Romanelli — she returned with Sollecito to check for signs of a burglary. Knox's room appeared untouched. In Romanelli's room, however, the window had been shattered. They tried Kercher's door. It was locked. Knox knocked gently at first, then loudly — no response. Finally Sollecito threw himself against the door, but he wasn't strong enough to break it down.

Oh just read Clara Lou's link
Pro knox it just about locks her up and chucks away the key

I went down to the green house tonight to retrieve SWMBO's hair dryer
heating the last of the tomatoes
I did not notice that 300 of the green tomatoes were now bright red, or that all the glass was missing, so I had a shower changed my clothes, phoned all my mates, then went down with SWMBO to check on the green tomatoes

Just like the previous story ALL BULL treetreetreetree

:D



and from this site:

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20324839,00.html

snip:

In testimony at her 11-month trial, Kercher's friends described what they considered Knox's bizarre behavior when she was brought into the police station for questioning the day after the murder. Knox began doing cartwheels and handstands and snuggling with Sollecito. "We were all crying, and I didn't see Amanda crying," said Robyn Butterworth. "She and Raffaele were kissing and joking."

But on the stand, Knox explained: "When I feel uneasy or nervous, I act a bit foolish."

----------------------------

so, Kercher's friends actually witnessed Amanda doing cartwheels .... police saw Amanda doing cartwheels ....

and her response when asked in court why she done cartwheels, was that she acted a bit 'foolish'

so, based on that, in my books, she is guilty of cartwheeling

 

Here's Rod Liddle's take on the case:-

I absolutely do not agree, four years of your life gone for something you didn't do? I think most people would not feel like grinning!!

My problem with all this is that while Knox may well be gauche, weird and a right old slapper, none of these things make her a murderer. What is her motive? (Unless you believe all the Satanic sex game stuff that the Italian prosecutor was so keen on.) She'd been smoking dope but she wasn't a crack addict.

 

Not really sure but they should have kept her locked up anyway. She is weird.
