I love how he just completely whitewashes her conflicting stories by saying "of course she forgot where she was the night before -- she'd smoked hash." I don't know about you guys, but I would have to be pretty stoned to forget having witnessed a murder.

So then what the hell happened? How about his: all four get high. Knox and Sollecitogo leave to get it on in her bedroom while Guede puts the moves on Kercher. She's not having it so he date-rapes her. She's trying to scream but he's choking her to keep her quiet. He crushes her windpipe. He runs to get Knox and Soll and they all freak out. They decide to stage the break-in and Soll gets his knife out to make it seem like a burgler slit her throat. They try to get a story together, but they're high and nervous and freaking out, so of course they can't keep the story straight.

That was great. I think part of the "easiness" comes from the fact that the girls are essentially on vacation. I'm sure people who live in the Caribbean have similar stories about spring break girls. |

It doesn't explain her bizarre behavior. They said she was doing cartwheels at the police station and during the entire trial she's been making romantic gestures to the boyfriend. Clearly, at best, she's unstable.

Guilty
Italian jury finds Amanda Knox guilty of murdering British roommate - CNN.com I'm only read the mainstream articles on this, but it seemed like a pretty weak case. |

Obviously huge news here. The evidence was weak as hell, the jury didn't even ask to be sequestered and deliberated for all of about 20 hours. No way she is convicted if this is the states. Now granted, she may not be innocent in all this, but no way in hell was her guilt proven beyond a reasonible doubt. |

One thing in Italy is the media. Here, you can either get you're case moved, re-tried, or dismissed if they feel that the media and leaks has tainted. Not so in Italy.

Maybe this convication and 26 year sentence is Amanda Knox's way of taking one for the team to distract us all from the escalation in Afghanistan. (See Tiger and Afghanistan thread).

So is the consensus out there that she is guilty or not?
From what I've read in a short time, there isn't enough evidence for me to convict someone of murder. But I'd also put my money on the fact she was involved in some way. Didn't she confess and then had it thrown out? |

I have no doubt she was involved somehow. Now whether or not she helped to murder her or helped to cleanup, I have no idea. That said, her changing her story is not a big deal if the evidence has nothing on her. However, with just a tad of evidence a changing story takes on a whole new meaning.

According to 20/20 she was asked to describe what she would've done if she were there...or something to that fact. She was questioned possibly under the influence, with no lawyer, no translator, for 40+ hours. I guess it sucks to be in jail in Italy.

She did change her story several times, even when not under the influence. And they had some DNA on the alleged murder weapon. She may not have done the actual killing, but if she was involved in any cleaning or coverup, she was a coconspirator. I don't know how it is in Italy, but here, that makes you culpable for the underlying offense. I'm amazed at the moral outrage by some in the media to portray this as an American being railroaded. It's this year's "damsel in distress" story. |

I'm always suspicious of someone changing their story. I mean if you were not home, why change your story?
But it does seem like the Italian system is pretty fucked up and that the DA is a sociopath. Also seems to be a lot of anti-American sentiment involved. |

It looks to me like you have been swindled, baby, and when you're swindled under the Napoleonic code, I'm swindled too. And I don't like to be swindled.

I think the OJ parallels are appropriate in that there was a lot of circumstantial evidence that she was heavily involved and no other plausible explanation. It then became a test of the judicial system for what you do in a case like this. OJ's lawyers won a legal battle that Knox's lawyer couldn't. It also didn't help that the boyfriend's family was caught trying to tamper with the evidence.
Personally, I think the simplest story is probably true: they decided to do something "fun", took some drugs, and things got out of hand. Maybe the victim started threatening them and they panicked.

Without knowing much about the case, the other plausible explanation seems to be the African guy who was there, and had sex with the victim shortly before she died, acted alone. Though, I didn't know about the boyfriend's family tampering with the evidence. All I've really heard about the evidence implicating Knox & Boyfriend were some violent comic books and fingerprints on a knife that didn't seem to match the wounds on the victim. And Knox's shadiness in changing the story - though I thought that was determined to be inadmissable. |

I'm not sure there's any consensus, per se. On one hand, it's pretty clear to even the most casual observer that neither the investigation nor the trial were handled in a particularly objective manner. On the other hand, it's also pretty clear to a relatively casual observer that even in the best possible light it's hard to conclude that Knox wasn't involved in some way. I'm not sure the rather obvious fuckups in the investigation and trial of this case are specific to Italian justice, however. After all, it's not as if we don't execute innocent people in this country. |

Looks like the prosecutor is going to end up in jail with Knox. Interesting to see if that helps her on appeal.
