she was still convicted of slander for accusing someone else of the murder
and given 3 years, so I expect the Italian authorities will just tell her to sod off

Is slander still slander if you belive it at the time?
Now we know that Amanda didn't do the murder, maybe the person who she said did the murder, did the murder?

Woah, woah, woah
We don't know anything of the sort, we know her conviction for the murder has been quashed due to unreliable evidence, but we don't know whether she actually was involved.

I think it's unlikely that she or her boyfriend were involved

I think it's unlikely that you haven't fucked your sister.

I think it's unlikely that you will ever stop repeating the same joke

I like to think she didn't do the murder on account of her aquittal.
Thing is, I know the whole "No smoke without fire" thing, but without that, it means that whoever is up on court for anything will always possibly be guilty even if they are told they're not involved by the courts.

I'm not implying that she did it
I'm just saying that a bold statement of "Now we know that Amanda didn't do the murder" is incorrect.

take a look at the evidence
obviously we'll never know the whole story, but I don't think there was anything that said she was at the crime scene, that she had killed her friend or had any reason to.

She was stupid enough to lie at her first police interview, which looks bad, and she behaved oddly after the police turned up but that doesn't prove anything

I think someone else had already been convicted of the murder
Knox and her boyfriend were imprisoned because the police believed they were somehow involved.

Good question about the slander thing though, rightfully she should be let off that unless she knew he wasn't involved and deliberately set out to ruin him

The appeal covered that too
and the court held that she was still guilty.

fair enough then, don't know much about that case

(Quinton had to abandon other account as i broke it, Tue 4 Oct 2011, 11:14, Reply)

I think she was sentenced to 3 years for the slander, but as she's already served 4, they've let her off
