Guest mormonmusic Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Bottom line, I don't know if she did it or not, but if she's innocent, I'm very happy for her. Hopefully the financial ruin her family has experienced over this will be offset by book and movie deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she's guilty, I wish she had stayed in prison forever. One thing I have learned is that that Italian justice system is messed up, apparently moreso than the American justice system.

prisonchaplain Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I just got this call from some Hollywood producer, wanting to know if I'd be interested in playing an Italian prison chaplain, in an upcoming movie. Hmmmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEthePrimate Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Not having access to the case's evidence, I can't say whether or not Knox is guilty. I'll just trust the appeals court, and say that I'm glad for her. The last four years must have been a nightmare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierGuy Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Short nice article by Professor Juan Cole: Amanda Knox and Troy Davis | Informed Comment The overturning of the conviction for murder of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito by an Italian court on Monday contrasts with the fate of Troy Davis.In both cases, a conviction was built on shoddy evidence. In both cases, during the appeal the weakness of the case became apparent. But in the US, the verdict was allowed to stand. If Amanda Knox had been in Georgia’s legal system, she would probably be dead instead of on an airplane home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
