Yep! as always with these things i guess. If your sat on a Jury and you are faced with such a confusing array of evidence i think i'd be thankful that i could say there is a reasonable doubt in my mind and equit

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

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

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.

Italian Burden of Proof

Quote:

Burden of Proof: In Italy the "burden of proof" is extremely high, and this allows many criminals to go free. While this is obviously a serious matter in organised crime, it is also relevant in matters of lesser gravity. For example, the fact that a man is in possession of stolen property, whether automobiles, motor scooters or jewellery, may not be held against him to the extent that it would be in Britain, Australia, Canada or the United States, even though possession of stolen property is a criminal offence in Italy as elsewhere. The question of burden of proof also comes into play in rape trials (see below).

So on the basis of the evidence both have been cleared after some more evidence was brought into question, they will have to rebuild their lives after spending a few years in jail.

It's Meredith Kercher's family I feel sorry for because they will never be able to forget her murder and the fact that 2 people who were innocent according to the court now was originally found guilty leaves a lot of questions about the law.

Wait so she didn't do it

I can't believe that both were released on account of the evidence not being strong enough. From what I've read its quite clear that at least one of them did do it. And if they didn't would easily have information on who it would be.

It annoys me when this happens, there was sufficient evidence when they were originally sentenced. Sickened me when I heard the reporter say "they'll be given a hero's welcome back in the States". Disgusting.

Well part of the idea that they are innocent is the Police investigation and bad Police practice.

A possible Murder weapon was a kitchen knife, which was taken by the Police out of the Kitchen draw, and tested for Amanda's DNA. A small piece was found on the blade. That is shockingly bad Police work, it's a Kitchen knife in her own kitchen why would there be no DNA on it

I didn't hear about that. I thought traces of Meredith's blood were found on the kitchen knife???

DNA can come from Blood so it could of been blood found on the knife, as apposed to say a lose flake of skin say, im not sure on that, a Sky news analysed was saying that a small sample of DNA which was so small there was not enough for a crucial second test to be done on it. If it was Blood, and you think the first test was adequate that still leaves the slim but not beyond a doubt chance that she cut herself on that Knife and left some blood on the blade weeks before, doesn't it?

Im sure the 500 grand for being falsely imprisoned will give her a good kick start.

or whatever she makes from interviews, I bet Piers Morgan will have her on within the week.

Then you obvious having been reading the right material. The drifter's dna was found inside the victim for god's sake, not to mention his blood on the walls, and his dna on the knife. Amanda had nothing to do with any of it.

Amanda is seen as innocent in America. She's safe.

Guede was caught leaving the country after she was killed. The guy is as guilty as the day is long.

Britain just hates Amanda because she's American. Anyone who has studied the case knows that there is no way she did it. Many have read salacious material that was debunked years ago. She was interrogated for 54 hours straight, with no lawyer, and by police who weren't fluent in English, and they wouldn't allow her anything to drink for hours. Britain better be careful, because if they even attempt going after this girl, it's going to backfire, and America will act accordingly.

And what are you basing that on? Most people in this thread have been supportive of Knox, as has a lot of the British press
