So Amanda Knox is to be tried for slander against the Italian police who interveiwed her. I've been reviewing a lot of the evidence in this case and I just cant see how her and her boyfriend ended up being found guilty, the evidence is so weak.

Does anyone actually think she's guilty? And if so why?

The fact she's pretty is clouding your reasoning perhaps? Would be helpful if you post some evidence as its a bit of a mission to search for evidence just for one reply.

The murder case did, yeah. The Italian police are taking her to court for some of the stuff she said in evidence.

Thats my point, if people actually look at the evidence against her they will realise its paper thin. I cant see why anyone would think she did it based on the evidence. She may be daft, but she's no killer imo

Do you really expect many people to go searching for all the case notes? Post some stuff if you want any proper discussion, as heyyo says.

How come we don't have these threads for every other murder trial in the world?

So, you're asking if any of us EG-ers, who weren't there, have never met her, haven't been in court, haven't reviewed the evidence in full for ourselves, think she did it.

This thread has been marked as completely pointless and will now be locked. Thanks for taking part!

She is hot. She is a murderer. She is a hot murderer.

Don't know whether she did it or not.

Hot murderers will do anything in bed. I say let her off and relocate her to where I live.

I can only suppose there's no such thing as reasonable doubt in Italy.

Due to the desensitisation process I've been putting myself through with my strictly adhered to regime of ever increasingly disturbing internet smut, that's pretty much the only way I can achieve sexual gratification now.

I guess the police really don't like her as, IIRC it was things she said to them and did in her presence which was the only 'evidence' they had against her.

I'm still pretty sure the jury in that trial had a far better grip on the facts and the relevant evidence than anyone else in the world. I remember being pretty wound up about how she DEFINITELY WASN'T GUILTY, according to people who were relying on Fox News.

(edit: that sounds pretty snidy and annoying. Imagine I said that in a really nice way!)

I'm pleased to hear I'm not alone :-)

sounded innocent to me from the original reporting. The police had already convicted for murder the chap who's dna was all over the knife they found. The evidence against Amanda amounted to "she did a cartwheel" whilst at the police station. And who amongst us hasn't done that?

So what you say on the witness stand isn't protected speech in Italy?

Two days of heavy interrogation without your lawyer being present maybe?

I believe she also said that another innocent guy was at the scene of the murder, and then signed a written statement to that effect afterwards. Why would you do that if you were totally innocent?

Because the police are telling you lies like, sign this and it will all go away, and like a fool you believe what they say? Plenty of innocent people have signed confessions.

I say guilty. Her eyes are too close together.

She is kind of good looking, so I vote innocent.
