Amanda Knox

So I read up on the Amanda Knox trial and I think it’s a clear example of media gone wrong. With a recent jury duty still fresh in my mind, it’s always been my assumption that you are innocent until proven guilty.

Maybe that isn’t the case as I can browse a newsstand or even a checkout lane at the local supermarket and see huge pictures of a girl that read, “AMANDA KNOX: The girl with an Angel’s face and a killer’s eyes.” I mean COME ON.

Who is anyone to throw a stone into that mess. Especially simply to make a buck on it. It’s one thing to report the news, but when commentating begins to run rampant on either side of a case, it only adds fuel to the fires and no longer allows someone to decipher their own decision but conform to someone else’s speculation.

The media, the press, and especially the Italian Courts should be ashamed of themselves.

While scouring the web here’s what I found in the way of facts. I’ll let you make your own decisions. Keep in mind, I have no way of verifying the validity of these facts, I can only say that the ones I posted were listed at least more than once on what I hope to be considered credible websites.

Amanda Knox

Amanda Knox couldn’t get her story straight and changed it multiple times.
She first said that she was at her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, until 10 a.m. the following day the murder took place.

According to sources and her father’s accusation, the Italian police interpreter had not remained neutral resulting in an aggressive interrogation that changed Amanda’s story to where she had been in the house at the time and was in the kitchen when she heard a scream.

She and Raffaele were witnessed at a local supermarket around 7:45 am and the owner confessed he was not sure if they purchased anything, but a receipt found at Sollecito’s residence confirmed the purchase of bleach.

She was found at the scene of the crime sitting outside in a calm demeanor.

She later went on to accuse Patrick Diya Lumumba a local bar-owner as an accomplice and then later accused Raffaele Sollecito of the murder as written in her diary during her stay in prison.

The Murder Scene.

Meredith Kercher’s room was covered with blood. She died from apparently downing on her own blood from a slit throat.

Amanda Knox’s DNA was not found anywhere in the room.

A bloody foot print sized to match Raffaele Sollecito was found. A bra-fastener with his DNA on it was also discovered.

A third suspect, Rudy Guédé’s evidence was found littered around the room as well as inside Meredith.

Rudy Guédé

His story, like everyone else accused has changed inconsistently overtime.

Originally he said he was making out with Meredith (DNA would later reveal the presence of semen inside the victim) when Amanda came to the door of their flat to argue about money and boys. Not wanting to hear it and then feeling ill due to a bad kabob, he went to use the restroom. While he was in their, he heard a loud argument and put his iPod on to listen to some loud music to drone out the sound.

When he finished, he went to discover someone (he later accused this person as being Raffaele) of standing over Meredith’s body with a knife saying “there is a black guy in the house.”

The stranger ran off, and Rudy tried to save a badly bleeding Meredith who muttered the letters, “A-F” before dying. Panicking, Rudy fled the country to Germany where he was arrested for riding a train without a ticket.

CASE INCONSITENCIES:

Several of the crime scenes were contaminated. A blanket in the bedroom was shaken out.

The hard drives of all three suspects laptops were fried when attempted to be examined.

The wrong chemicals were used corrupting some evidence.

The changing of testimonies and statements by all three suspects.

A testimony given by an Italian driving down the road saw Rafaelle and Amanda holding a knife and hiding, both had long hair and the time was wrong.

The lack of an attorney to be present before the interrogation.

An inconsistent pattern between the knife linked and the actual damage of the wound inflicted.

The fact that two judges were allowed to serve as jury in concordance with other jury members being allowed to be exposed to media events.

All three suspects were found guilty. The prosecution claimed it was a manga (that’s a comic book folks) that induced a sex-crazed and violent experiment gone wrong where they had to cover up the evidence resulting in their direct participation in the murder of Meredith Kercher.

Want to know my theory? Read below.






Amanda Knox is INNOCENT.

Why? Because the courts can’t prove one damn thing. They have no evidence linking her to the crime. They have no credible eye-witnesses. They have NOTHING.
All they have is speculation and a gut feeling. Italian’s pride themselves on that. They put their reputation before the facts.

I won’t even speculate as to exactly how it went down, that’s not my job. If I had been a juror, I would have found Rudy Guédé guilty of murder. His DNA is all over the place falsifying his story. He fled the country. He’s the only one with evidence against them.


Rudy Guédé is guilty, Amanda Knox is innocent.

Raffaele Sollecito is a tough one. If in fact his evidence was found on that bra strap, it’s suspicious, but not condemning.

Do I think they are completely innocent of the crime? No, I think all three got tangled up in it somehow, the stories don’t match up. According to the own prosecution’s case (which they tried separately) the three of them had hot nasty with Meredith, but only one touched her per wishes of a comic book fantasy before pooping and then fleeing the country while the others used bleach and put her under her mattress? No I think not, that’s too absurd.

Regardless of how involved Amanda became she was not proven guilty.
