Amanda Knox guilty again.

Not that it matters, she won't be sent back to Italy. But seriously, Italy, wtf? I am glad to live in a country where the legal system works.

Oh, I thought you lived in America.

The legal system here works quite well, perhaps shitty laws, but the court system here works rather well. But that is really beside the point. Amanda Knox is very likely not guilty, but even then, I am a whole fan of the double jeopardy thing here in America. Italy is retarted. Leave Amanda alone, jesus.

Quote

forensic analysis showed that bloody fingerprints from the crime scene could not be matched to any of the three in custody, but instead were matched to a local small-time drug dealer and petty thief named Rudy Hermann Guede.

Quote

Rudy admitted that he had been in the cottage the night Meredith died, and that they had had consensual sex that night. But he maintained that he didn't kill her. Rudy insisted that that someone broke in and killed Meredith while he was in the bathroom

lol ok.

Wtf Italy? What are you doing to this poor girl?

Not sure where you're going with that, but you can make another thread if you want. Why are the Italians torturing this poor, innocent, American woman?

Thork · « **Reply #6 on:** January 30, 2014, 11:10:26 PM »

Erm, because she is a murderer? Why is America allowing a convicted murderer to walk around in a nation that sells guns?

Shane · « **Reply #7 on:** January 30, 2014, 11:16:53 PM »

Unjustly convicted, the ruling was overturned, then "hey, what the hell, let's give it one more shot!" because the Italian justice system got shit for succumbing to American pressure. It's ridiculous. They have no evidence against her, and are covering their own asses. Good thing she won't be extradited.

Except the DNA evidence supplied.

The fact that she acted very weird at the time of her arrest and kept lying hasn't done her any favours.

Amanda Knox- the Italian OJ.

If you were being interrogated nonstop for several days after the murder of your friend, you would probably start saying and doing odd things too.

Sean-I don't think you should hold the US justice system much higher than the Italian. This study indicates approximately 10,000 people/year in the US are wrongfully convicted. The US even executes some of them.

They found Knox's DNA on a kitchen knife handle she used to prepare food?!

In Murica we operate by the idea that you can only be tried for a law once, and that's how it should be. I really don't know why a lot of European countries haven't gotten that memo yet. Italy is frankly barbaric with their legal system. Remember when they charged a bunch of scientists with murder for not magically predicting earthquakes?

As for the death penalty, it has its place. Some people simply deserve death for their crimes. It's not a question of prevention or cost-effectiveness so much as it is having an ultimate penalty, and simply justice. In a case like the Boston Bombing where there's exactly 0% chance (excepting some of Katsung's theories) that the accused is innocent, I fail to see why the death penalty is wrong.

And if the judiciary makes a mistake, or new evidence comes into light, we should just go "You may have gotten away this time, but we'll get you yet!". 10/10 best system let's implement immediately.

Or, PP, someone who's innocent can't spend their life in court , sounds good to me.

Amanda Knox was not convicted on a second trial anyway, it was an appeal. There was a maximum of two allowed.

Innocent people don't get convicted in America? Didn't know that one.

I think, in the US, you can appeal a guilty verdict, but that's it. Which makes sense
