I didn't follow it in a lot of detail but the evidence against her didn't seem particularly convincing and they seemed to have used some questionable methods in questioning her. Although that said, it wouldn't surprise me if she were guilty, there were a few holes in her story if I remember rightly

Oh and, alleged murdering aside, she's pretty hot :cool:

MTVN 03-10-2011 07:43 PM

When's this verdict :idc:

MTVN 03-10-2011 07:50 PM

On now: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15156861

MTVN 03-10-2011 07:51 PM

Think the verdict's been overturned :o

Kazanne 03-10-2011 07:52 PM

Anyone know whats happened?

Lewis. 03-10-2011 07:53 PM

She's free!!!

YES!

MTVN 03-10-2011 07:53 PM

She's been freed, the court's overturned the murder conviction

Kazanne 03-10-2011 07:54 PM

Mmmm,not sure about that one.

Cromwell1900 03-10-2011 07:55 PM

Wow

Lewis. 03-10-2011 07:57 PM

Was watching live on CNN - very intense indeed.

GypsyGoth 03-10-2011 08:02 PM

I'm glad she's free I never thought she done it.

MTVN 03-10-2011 08:02 PM

Here's an interesting piece, giving 5 reasons as to why she might be guilty and 5 for why she might be innocent: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...asons-why.html

Got to say the 5 reasons for her being guilty seem more convincing to me

Tom4784 03-10-2011 08:02 PM

I'm not surprised, the accusations seemed a bit flimsy and I heard that the Italian police screwed up a lot during the investigation. It's what happens when you just aim to close a case instead of discovering the truth, innocent people will most likely suffer.

Sky News

A Bra clasp of Merideth's was analized 6 weeks after the Murder and found to have Rafaele Selechito's Blood on it. Cross contamination possible. And DNA evidence found to be unreliable.

If that's the Courts finding it's hard to argue i guess.

is she the nurse girl?

No, she was a foreign student in italy, I'm not sure what she was studying. She was accused of murdering a british girl with her boyfriend, they were meant to have helped a crazy guy do it.

Hayden Panettiere played her in a movie.

Not sure what she did but she an American, was accused of Murdering an English girl (Merideth Knox) in Italy, after accusing a local Bar owner who had a rock solid Alibi she was tried and Convicted.

MTVN 03-10-2011 08:18 PM

She was a Literature student I think

'Conor 03-10-2011 08:19 PM

oh i'm thinking of that Rebecca one who was a nurse and some of her patients died? was around the time of the whole Norway shooting

Cromwell1900 03-10-2011 08:20 PM

She has been convicted of Slandering the Bar Owner and that conviction has stood. 3 Years time served now though

The saline nurse thing, yeah she's been released now though

Tom 03-10-2011 08:24 PM

Its the right decision on the basis of the evidence but I'm not convinced shes innocent. No smoke without fire and all that.

If she is guilty then I guess the 4 years in prison and having her name dragged through the mud on a worldwide scale (not usually done in murder cases) is punishment enough. If she didn't do it then she can take consolation in the alleged big money deals coming her way. No doubt she'll be on ITV's This Morning at some point, they love stories like hers.

Cromwell1900 03-10-2011 08:25 PM

I see Rudy gadae has been convicted of killing Merideth Kartcher, Amanda Knox was convicted of helping Rudy Gadea. I did not know that.

MeMyselfAndI 03-10-2011 08:29 PM

She went to jail for 4 years??
