    PERUGIA, Italy (AP) — An Italian court began deliberations Friday in the year-long trial of American student Amanda Knox, who is charged with murdering her British roommate.

    After around 11 hours of deliberations, court officials said that a verdict would be announced about midnight Friday.

    This is one of those ''so obviously didn't do it'' cases. Possibly too hot to be sent to jail?

    I have been following this and I really don't know what to think, its all so strange and he police seemed so incompetent. But she seemed to be convicted before the case went to trial. \on saying that she could be guilty as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 454 ✭✭Cadiz


    I noticed on the Sky news reports today they constantly refer to Meredith Kurcher as 'Meredith', but to Amanda Knox as 'Knox'. Is this down to its usual balanced, non-judgemental reporting I wonder?*




    *Though I think she did it!

    Foxy Knoxxy's goin dahn, unfortunately

    I'm not an expert on Italian jurisprudence but I think had she been tried in America or here even,she'd be found innocent.
    Whether she is or not is a different matter.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,337 ✭✭✭aphex™


    Yes it looks like they're just trying to put these guys away for the sake of it.
    They already have Rudy Guede in prison for 30 years for this. Surely they all didn't have their hands on the knife?

    Very confused :confused:

    Guilty I think she is.

    There was a good article in the times magazine a couple of months back. It didnt really take sides but I will be shocked if she is convicted. One of those cases that will run and run I think. She might not be a likeable person but guilty of premeditated murder is a different issue.

    The moralistic tabloids in the UK have her convicted already. I always find it strange how they take a moral ground on some peoples sex lives and then publish a kiss and tell on the next page.

    Funny that, the times mag had a picture of nicole richie on the cover a few months back, looking skeletal in a swimsuit, saying it was drastically unhealthy. Then, near the back in the fashion part, had another pic (same day, same swimsuit) and a whole 'Get the Nicole Richie Look' article. :rolleyes:

    Wow that's going to be a quick verdict after such a long trial, must be guilty verdict in that case! I don't know what to think, changing her version of events so many times makes me think she's guilty!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,190 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    She has guilty written all over her face but doesn't everybody these days ?

    Guilty , innocent ,? I just hope it's the right verdict .I think she's guilty


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,435 ✭✭✭✭redout


    Sky News:

    Guilty

    Can someone explain how a person who cracks jokes, laughs and pulls handstands in a Police station while awaiting questioning over a murder can actually be taken seriously ? Good riddance.

    She's just been found guilty.

    Is that a rough translation of something?
