Retrial of Amanda Knox ordered

seamus

Rather than drag up the original thread...

The Italian courts have overturned Amanda Knox's acquittal and ordered a retrial. Dragging this into a whole new level of farce that the Italian court system has become famous for.

Best of luck getting her to leave the US. If I was her I'd make sure I can't be extradited and stay put.

But she's pretty?

While I certainly had major doubts about her evidence and innocence, the Italian courts proved to be beyond daft in their handling of the whole thing.

No, she's foxy - apparently.

Good luck to them getting her extradited from the USA. Not gonna happen.

I'm not convinced she did it btw, but there's so many unanswered questions about the case. The Italian police really bolloxed it up royally.

That was my favourite murder trial ever.

Teyla Emmagan

They haven't a hope in hell of getting her back.

She's about as guilty as me. The investigation was a farce.

flanna01

The original trial was dodgy to say the least... without a doubt, she lied from the beginning, and acted 'weird' throughout the investigation.

Her hands have blood on them - I don't care what anybody thinks. she wasn't as innocent as she portrayed herself to be.

Realistically speaking - There isn't a snow ball in Hell's chance of her leaving the USA to accommodate another Italian trial.

anncoates

Excellent.

Months of more danger **** pictorial material.

Duggys Housemate

There is no evidence against Knox except "acting weird", the insane fantasies of the prosecutor, and planted evidence.

The Italian Justice system is embarrassing itself at this stage. She'll never be extradited, even if the courts want it it would take a whole other level of political and diplomatic effort in order for it to happen.

Are the Italians for real?
Another retrial? How many more?
Berlusconi?
The leaning tower of Pisa?
Fiat( fix it again tomorrow)
What a bunch of jokers!
Amanda Knox was acquitted, end of .:D

Eh...do people really believe the US will refuse to facilitate an extradition request? I'm not sure - but why are people so sure they won't?

According to this, she doesn't need to be extradited, they can go ahead without her. However that works!

Edit: the relevant text from link.

Following today's decision Knox does not have to return to Italy as there is no requirement for defendants to be in court.

Tombo2001

her ugly cousin's trial got no media attention whatsover. Life just isnt fair sometimes.

So despite all the other things you mentioned you for some reason think he acquittal was correct? Odd way of looking at things.

The prosecutions case was complete fantasy from beginning to end. I'd like to know what has changed that they now feel they can retry the case.

sbsquarepants

Ah good old foxy knoxy - damn she's hot!
I also think she's most likely innocent, the investigation was beyond a disgrace.

At the start of the last trial I was convinced she was guilty, but when I did a bit of reading that started to fall away.
Honestly, I think she lacks a lot of social awareness etc and hence acted very oddly in the days after the murder. But a lot of people have that problem and shock/grief/exhaustion can affect folk very differently.

Tazium

Yeah, I still would though

People forget that she was a young girl in a foreign country and in an incredibly stressfull situation, of course she's going to act weird.
I have a 17 year old daughter - she falls apart at the seams if there's a spider in the bath or the wifi stops working. There is no way she could cope with anything approaching a real problem!

Does double jeopardy not apply anymore ? or am I watching too much Law & Order

Marsellus Wallace

She is guilty as hell but America will not send her back to Italy, they do not extradite there nationals for trial for crimes committed abroad, but they expect everyone else to send people to them to stand trial.

the_monkey

But seriously, if this retrial finds her guilty , can the US refuse an extradition order ?

I'm not a betting man , but if I had to put money on it , I think she's guilty...

Why the hell did she accuse a barman ? - desperation ...

Sure the Italians are incapable of closing their own shoe laces, that is why they have a preference for slip on shoes.

As regards conducting a murder trial, it was nothing short of a circus

Odd?
