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.

I thought they did not focus on that enough.

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.
Well I don't and I'm a fucking judge you pisspot.
Well argued your honour, I think I'll change my mind.

The Italian legal system is matched in crookedness
only by that of India.

And they both begin with the letter 'I' - coincidence...?


I think not...

I hear Iceland is bad too.
And I don't fancy a trial in Israel either.

I think you have it sir.

Not the large heron type bird, that would be pointless, except for midgets.
