Amanda Knox....did she do it?

I can't believe someone committing a crime like murder is going to confess guilt unless the evidence is overwhelming. Since the evidence is so sketchy naturally they're trying to get off. She did it. What do you think?

Was she involved? Harder to tell. She certainly behaved strangely and told some odd lies. But are those the acts of guilt or of a confused kid under duress? I find the lack of DNA evidence to be telling and find it hard to believe that three relative strangers could commit a murder and then not end up turning on each other.
All I know for sure is Italy bungled the hell out of the whole case.
Now to bring in some strip club relevance - No I don't think did it. But would you do her?
She looks pretty good in certain photos, but close to being a boy in others. I imagine with just a drink or two though (or less) she'd get the thumbs up from nearly all guys.
I would do her, but I would like bigger tits.
Jack, you sure you wanna go to Rome?
The prosecution’s case seems pretty fucked up and giving someone 28 yrs based on sketchy evidence is f’ed up.
Please remember the feelings of the Kercher family, they want to seek closure on this.
One thing is for sure, if they don't extradite her, guess where American criminals are gonna start hiding at? ITALY!
Reportedly buying cleaning supplies the morning after the murder doesn't look good. Lacking a good story as to how she wasn't involved doesn't look good either.
On the other hand...
The poor at best DNA doesn't help and probably would not hold up to US standards... but our "CSI" tv show slanted expectations may be too high to begin with. The 3rd suspect with a long rap sheet got a sweet plea deal in exchange for fingering Knox and her bf. Is that trustworthy testimony? The original prosecutor was corrupt and wanted to make an example of her regardless of the truth to make himself look good. Original 'confession' was under duress.
Gut feeling, she was probably involved somehow, possibly on drugs at the time. But IF it had happened on US soil, her right to due process was violated.
There is no double jeopardy issue. She was convicted in the first trial. The appeals court over turned the conviction (which is NOT the same as finding her innocent) making way for a retrial. Convicted again in the second trial. Basically the same as US. At no point was she ever found not guilty.
IMO, the only rational argument to object to extradition would be along the lines of lack of due process because of the original prosecutor's actions, which I think he was supposed to be put on trial for.
I'm no expert, but I just don't see the feds not extraditing her once Italy makes the formal request. The US requests way more extraditions then are asked of the US by other countries. I don't see the upside internationally for the feds to not honor the eventual extradition request.
If Italy requests extradition and the US does not grant it, the US can probably forget about ever having any extradition requests granted by anyone ever again. Why would any foreign country cooperate with us if we thumb our noses as soon as they make a request?
The evidence against her was circumstantial and hundreds if not thousands of people have been thrown behind bars for longer than 28 years here in the good ol USA with equal or lesser evidence.
@jackslash, how does the France situation (if true) come into the equation? That's a crazy statement.
btw her pleading that 'she can't do it by herself' (in other words 'help me fellow Americans' on TV hasn't gone down well in Italy and beyond.
Are you kidding? America gets to do what it wants all the time.lots of ways to bring pressure against other countries.
That said, we probably wouldn't do too much over something like this. Not like Knox did anything to the US govt. and we've never really done much to France for not extraditing Polanski. France and a number of other countries will not extradite their own nationals, typically these countries will try the accused in their own country. Not sure what's up with Polanski, but he gets a pass for being a cool director dude. The French dig their cinema.
"@jackslash, how does the France situation (if true) come into the equation? That's a crazy statement."
London, I was countering Experimental's statement: "If Italy requests extradition and the US does not grant it, the US can probably forget about ever having any extradition requests granted by anyone ever again."
France refused to extradite the child raper Roman Polanski.
People calling her a whore and that she fucked around.... That is what most Young US College students do when they go to Europe. They fuck like mad and do drugs. She was living that life. So who cares.
Now back to the second question.... Would I fuck her.... HELL YEAH.
An Italian request for extradition will be very difficult for the US to deny. Currently, US and Italian police and justice departments are in intimate cooperation in pursuing, prosecuting, and extraditing Mafia members back and forth between the two countries. This is working well in the interests of both countries. Italy will be much less eager to honour US Mafia extradition requests if USA denies a legitimate Italian Amanda Knox extradition request.
