Amanda Knox: Did she do it?

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 15:53, 89 replies, latest was 16 years ago)

No
But she was just as culpable as the actual murderer. and I would fuck her senseless the dirty bitch.

What?
How can you have the culpability of a murderer without being a murderer?

A mix of time travel and amnesia?

causing death
intention to cause death or gbh.

You are either culpable or you aren't.

(Richard Earl of Cambridge Cruel, Savage, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 16:17, Reply)

Obviously yes
I mean just look at her. Filthy bitch!
( Peej, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 16:01, Reply)

Okay, this I agree with, ignoring the filthy bitch part.
She doesn't look upset at all in anything I've seen of her.
It may be media portrayal but I doubt it.
If I were on trial for murder I'd be crying my fucking eyes out the whole time, scared shitless.
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 16:05, Reply)

Would you be crying because of your guilt,
or because you were innocent?

What do you say to that Kristine Kringle?
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 16:09, Reply)

Know what, I tried to suggest Kristine Kringle
and she was having none of it.
She should, shouldn't she?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 16:10, Reply)

Absolutley
We should address her as such until she cries to the mods.

Deal!

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 16:13, Reply)

well I'm not going to murder anyone
I just think she shows a distinct lack of emotion for someone proclaiming her innocence.
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 16:12, Reply)

We only have your word for that
I suggest that there may be people you know, that you would murder, and jump up and down on their graves.

Eh, Ms Kringle?
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 16:20, Reply)

No. In fact I don't want anyone to die, ever.

And in a certain light possibly Myra Hindley (The black and white 60s poster version.)

Because of this post I got to thinking (as I often do) about a series of pictures in one of the supplements about 10 years ago.
One photo was a of a young murderer in the 1930s.
I thought he was a bit gorgeous. I kept the pic. My ex threw it out.
I remembered his name and I Google it from time to time. Nothing ever comes up, but I knew eventually it would.
I googled just now and found the picture!!

No.
The evidence would not have been sufficient to convict her in a court in the UK and I'm astonished that she was convicted and jailed.

That having been said, whilst everyone's paying attention to the plight of Ms Knox, very little is being said of the fate of Meredith Kerchers family.

I hate to upset you
but people are routinely convicted on less evidence than Amanda Knox, with much more convicing witness statements.

There is nothing controversial about this case apart from the deviant sexual practices talked about by the prosecution.

We should respect other country's legal systems
Except the American and the Saudi Arabian ones of course.

I think the Italian system is a bit iffy though, six jurors and three judges have to decide together. Imagine trying to face a judge down in the jury room.

I think she is innocent.
