    I believe you are correct. I read one thing .... then another that totally contradicts.

    I even read reports of the man that spoke of Amanda's bf buying the bleach the morning after the murder... with actual quotes.... yet on another site that is totally discounted as false.

    So are you of the opinion it was a rape coerced with a knife gone wrong via the black dude?

    I'm not really seeing it any other way...

      mroe ....

      Why did AK say she had a shower when she arrived at the house before noticing anything wrong with the house?

      A: she could not be sure that her DNA was not mixed with the victims blood in points around the house. Saying she took a shower in what turned out to be the crime scene excuses this.

      In relating her initial arrival back at the house she says she did not notice the break-in - Soll. says the breakin was only noticed by himself and AK when they arrived back at the house (they say to fetch a mop). Soll. said at that point of arrival the door to Filomenas room was open and they could see an obvious break-in. This information came from Soll. later (jail diary).

      This excuses AK having a shower in the house (only a small amount of blood in the bathroom and no break-in). Of course she knew about the break-in.

      The 'bathmat' shuffle that AK related could be for two reasons:

      1. to excuse the pattern of bloody footprints in corridor away from the bedrooms (she relates 'shuffling' with the bathmat from the bathroom to her bedroom - why?)

      2. the 'shuffle' was related in the trial - such detail - the bloodied footprint of Soll. the prosecution knew they had on the bathmat. She was trying to 'telegraph' to Soll. in the trial that she had actually tried to clean his footprint, remove HIS evidence and hadn't tried to frame him (so please don't frame me) ...

      I am pretty sure that the shower that Soll. and I think Knox separately relate having together (where Soll. cleaned AK's ears) was not in Solls apartment - the shower occurred in the crime scene house quite possibly on the night of the murder.

      AK and Soll's cleanup was suspended by the unexpected arrival of the postal police and thereafter their communication was limited to the short time period before their arrest. Specific related details in testimony after the fact (months later) by AK and Soll. in relation to what they knew the police knew about the crime scene (from the press or wherever) is extremely telling when it does not match up. AK has framed herself by relating her actions temporally based on the facts she thought the police knew and because the statements she has made about her actions that morning have consistantly not been corroborated by Soll. The creation of specific testimony in relation to places objects and times couldn't be dismissed by the defence (also the testimony of Kokomani - it would be a fantastical creation). This partial fabrication of scenarios by AK based on the information she had to hand at the time of their fabrication is damning.

        The Summations: The Prosecutions’ Reconstruction Of The Events On The Night

        Posted by Peter Quennell



        [Above: Where they waited and watched? View from Piazza Grimana of gate area of Meredith’s house]
        This time-line for the evening of 1 November 1 2007 was presented by the prosecutors in court on Friday afternoon.
        It was accompanied by a very graphic computer simulation of all the events described except for the arrival of Rudy Guede, the timing of which is unknown but seems to have been late - maybe around 11:30 pm.
        This account seems to be of a premeditated attack on Meredith, in which Knox and Sollecito may have watched Meredith’s house from this position above in the park for an hour and a half before they even entered the house.
        Meredith was inside the whole time.
        We have left out the depiction of the final struggle with Meredith, which is extremely sad and disturbing. In the evidence phase this was testified-to behind closed doors at her family’s request and we have never posted anything from those sessions.
        However, it is made clear that Meredith put up a tremendous fight over a period of 15 minutes with three strong attackers, before she finally succumbed.
        • 15:48: Meredith texts to her English friends that she will be slightly late for her dinner meeting with them. 16:00 - Meredith leaves the house in Via della Pergola to go to the home of her friends. A few minutes later Raffaele and Amanda leave the cottage in Via della Pergola to go Sollecito’s place.
          18:00 - Amanda Knox leaves Raffaele Sollecito’s house. This is indicated by cell phone records.
          18:27 - Raffaele Sollecito interacts with his laptop to watch the film “Amelie” alone at home.
          20:18 - Amanda Knox in Via Ulisse Rocchi receives a text message (sms) from Patrick Lumumba telling her not to come to work that night.
          20.30 - Amanda Knox goes back to Via Garibaldi to the apartment of Raffaele Sollecito.
          20:38 - Amanda sends a text message (sms) in reply to Patrick Lumumba.
          20:46 - Sollecito turns off his mobile phone. He is still at home in Via Garibaldi.
          20:45 – Meredith’s meal of pizza with her English friends ends. She starts off in the direction of Via della Pergola with a girlfriend who will leave her halfway to go to her own home.
          21:00 - Meredith is at home, she eats a mushroom, she lies down on her bed, and she reads some university lecture notes.
          21:10 - From this point on there is no more human interaction with Raffaele Sollecito’s computer.
          21:45 - Amanda and Raffaele leave his apartment and go to the Piazza Grimana. Less than 100 meters away from the house in Via della Pergola, the two talk and watch the house and decide what to do. They show a suspicious attitude which is reported in court by the witness Curatolo
          23:20 - Amanda opens the door of Via della Pergola.
          23.20 - Amanda, Raffaele and Rudy enter the house in Via della Pergola, where Meredith is already present in her room [On the court video there is no simulation of the meeting between Amanda and Rudy, because the reconstruction is based on testimony, the autopsy evidence and medical findings.]
          23:21 - Amanda and Raffaele go into Meredith’s bedroom, while Rudy goes into the bathroom.
          23:25 - A scuffle begins between Amanda, helped by Raffaele, and Meredith. The English girl is taken by the neck, then banged against a cupboard. Rudy Guede enters and joins in.
          23:30 - 23:45 Depiction in the timeline and computer simulation of a horrific struggle with Meredith

          23:50 - Amanda and Raffaele take Meredith’s mobile phones and they leave the apartment. Guede goes into the bathroom to get several towels to staunch the blood, then puts a cushion under Meredith’s head.
          00.10 - Meredith’s mobile phones are thrown into a garden in Via Sperandio.
          00.15 - From this moment, there are no certainties on the times for the rearrangement of the crime scene carried out by Amanda and Raffaele Sollecito.

        However according to the prosecution in the wee hours of the night Knox and Sollecito returned to the scene of their crime to try and clean up some footprints and to break the window glass of Filomena’s room. The aim was to simulate a robbery that ended in murder and they are charged with this too.

            this bitch is a straight-up liar...

            Version 2 Witness statement given on 6 November and ruled inadmissible
            This is how the Daily Mail reported it on 13 November:
            “I can’t remember if my friend Meredith was there or if she came later. We were all separate,” she said.
            “He (Lumumba) wanted her (Meredith).
            “Yes we were in the house. We were drunk. We asked her to join us.
            “Diya wanted her. Raffaele and I went into another room and then I heard screams.
            “Patrick and Meredith were in Meredith’s bedroom while I think I stayed in the kitchen.
            “I can’t remember how long they were together in the bedroom but the only thing I can say is that at a certain point I remember hearing Meredith’s screams and I covered my ears.
            “Then I don’t remember anything else. There is such a lot going on in my head.“
            “I can’t remember if Meredith was screaming and if I heard thuds but I could imagine what was going on.’
            ....Later, she contradicts herself, saying: “I can’t remember if Raffaele was there that night.
            “I remember waking up in his bed at his house and that I went back to my house where I found the door open.”

              Maybe she was actually just that drunk and messed up on drugs that she actually doesn't remember? Maybe it was a bit of a blackout?

              I don't know things are just so weird in this case...

                My inclination is to believe that she can't rightfully remember b/c she is lying.

                I can agree w/ this post:

                You wrote, “I've said before that the amount of speculation on the part of the Knox supporters is several orders of magnitude greater than that on the side of the Italian investigators.” I respectfully, but strongly disagree. Based on the sources I have discussed here, there is no credible DNA evidence that links the two defendants to the crime (I have not formed an opinion about other evidence). There are however, the inflammatory words that the Italian prosecutor put into Amanda’s mouth without one scintilla of evidence, “You are always behaving like a little saint. Now we will show you. Now we will make you have sex.” Now THAT is wild speculation.

                ...

                  this is the problem ...

                  When apprised dispassionately her stories read almost like a series of new responses to "Well, if what you say is true then how do you explain this" sort of questions. This is not the pattern of a hapless victim of "brutal interrogation". This is the pattern of a liar being caught out in their lies and trying to regroup.

                    No it doesn't, really. It was in a sealed crime scene with no source of contamination. The dna on the bra clasp was not miniscule: no-one has denied it was there; that it was Sollecito's; that it was "abundant"; that is was "firmly fixed"; that the body was moved; that the bra was removed some time after Kerchner died; that the clasp was cut off.

                      why would she tell a gazillion lies for no reason? if she werent a cute american girl, this case would be done and over with...hope she kills herself in jail like she killed meredith

                      I totally agree. I am from Seatac area which is like 10 miles where she is from ( Seattle ), so the coverage is huge here. All We here about is how she is a poor victim. There is a lot of questions like why she lied so much. I think she looked very guilty even before the verdict. Italy's system is similar to ours, they use a jury made up of regular citizens, so we have to believe that the average Italian citizen is just as fair as the average american citizen.

                      To me, it was a fair trial. The Italian guy got 25 years while Knox got 26, so to me the justice was pretty equal. I think in this country we just cant face the fact that females can do some pretty evil shit just like men.

                      I honestly believe that if the Murder happened in this country, Knox would have been given immunity and she would have testified against her boyfriend and he would have gotten like 70 years and she would have walked away scot free.

                        I'm sorry, but this is too amusing. The race card is played while the poor guy says he went to take a dump and listen to 4 songs on his Ipod. He takes his dump... and then steps out of the bathroom to see the girl he was making out w/ has been killed. LMFAO.

                        That guy is the straight-up killa. Just don't understand how Amand and bf fit in..


                        ***
                        Rudy Guede is the 24-year-old Ivory Coast native convicted in a fast-track trial last October for his role in Kercher’s murder. He is serving a 30-year sentence (his appeal begins on Nov. 19). Guede, who refused to testify in the Knox trial, has admitted that he was in the house when Kercher was killed. He says Kercher invited him there and that the two were making out when a stomach cramp from a bad kebab sent him to the bathroom. He was on the toilet with his iPod headphones on through four songs and, when he came out, Kercher was dying. He says he tried to save Kercher by using a towel to sop up the blood on her neck wounds, but he was scared after a man he says looked like Sollecito told him that “they’ll pin this on the black guy.” Guede fled to Germany, where he was later arrested for skipping a train fare. His feces (found in a toilet), along with his DNA and fingerprints from Kercher’s bedroom, link him to the crime scene. The sentencing judge who convicted him, though, did not see him as a lone assailant. Instead, the judge wrote in his sentencing report that he believed Guede acted with Knox and Sollecito.

                          Just b/c a jury finds a person guilty doesn't mean they're guilty.

                            ...

                            In the realm of speculation, of course, I figure Knox and Sollecito were interrupted before they finished cleaning up and rationalising the cottage crime scene. I am quite sure they were both aware that leaving a corpse in a locked room with no other entry point was a big mistake.

                              I think its a more accurate way of deciding then just letting each person, with their own biases decide. I mean, really you call Knox by her name Amanda and Rudy, the "african Guy" or the "black dude".

                              Yes, its true that juries arent 100% correct, that is why there is an appeals process, but unless an appeal overturns it, then yes a jury finding her guilty means she is guilty as far as the courts are concerned anyway.

                              I just cant believe she would take a shower in an apt. where a murder occured, then go do laundry and all the lies and still be 100% innocent. If a murder happened in my house, I am not worried about shower or laundry, I am a guy and I would be petrified if someone I know was killed in my house.

                              I just cant beleive she is so squeaky clean innocent, and of course we have all heard so many internet stories, that we dont know what is really true and what isnt. I think the jury listened and gave a verdict and I beleive in that type of system even though its not perfect.

                                To me, a person's true guilt/innonence is not determined by a jury.

                                If 99,999 people say the world is flat, yet I have proof otherwise.... I will not side w/ the 99,999.

                                I agree w/ you, however, regarding the ridiculousness of Amanda's situation... roommate killed and then all the lies and shit went down. That immediately says 'not not guilty'.

                                I say Afr guy or black dude... b/c most people don't know 'Rudy'. Same goes for the Italian guy. I just say BF rather than Sollecito.

                                Do I have a bias towards Rudy? Naturally. The guy is a career gang-banging liar ... who, in this case, is undoubtedly a rapist and a killer.

                                Ask me what I think of Lumumba, the African bar owner, and the guy is a regular dude. Not a gang banger. Clearly evident by his foto.

                                  From the real facts of the case I know, Sollecito and Knox cannot be placed at the scene of the murder, except for a knife that was found in Sollecito's place (which isn't the same sized knife fitting the wounds) and the bra claspe (found 40+ days afterwards).

                                    Sure, if 99,999 people say one thing and you have PROOF otherwise, then OK.

                                    If I was with Amanada that night and knew for a fact she was innocent, then I would also say dont care what the jury says, I know she is innocent.

                                    But neither of us know what happened, so thats why I refer to the jury who heard the real evidence and made a decision

                                              Really, all you need to do is torture the Afr guy and he will spill the beans.

                                              He knows EXACTLY what happened. If it involved Amanda and the bf, so be it.

                                              BUt if you torture him properly, he would tell the truth faster than jimminy crickets.

                                                  i haven't really been following the story all that much, but i was flipping through the channels the other night and this guy was on o'reilly. Peter Van Sant, a cbs correspondent, and he makes a solid case that she's innocent. (at least in the eyes of the law) here's the clip:

                                                    I'm sorry, but the Afr guy (like OJ Simpson) is guilty as sin.

                                                    You can torture that guy (and I don't mean softly and w/ all these BS protections) and he'll spill the beans.

                                                      I don't understand the one goes, the 2 stay idea....

                                                      For ex, Afr guy rapes and kills the girl. He flees to Germany and while there sends an email to a friend saying he needs money. They knab him b/c of it. His bidness is all over ht ecrime scene. Okay, done deal in my eyes. He had the motive, he had the means, and he fled. Plus the DNA. What more do you want?

                                                      Yet Amanda and the bf stay behind. 'Let's just stay put and clean up the mess... and lie our asses off.'

                                                      Huh? Not sure I follow.

                                                      Yet if they're lying and were there... how were they involved in the crime w/ the Afr guy? What did they do? 'Here Afr guy, we'll hold her down while you rape her?' yeah right.

                                                        If this didn't actually happen (Italian authorities made it up) then it makes sense. That is why I think they are innocent.

                                                          The last time i saw meredith, 22, english, beautiful, funny, was when
                                                          i came home from spending the night at a friends house. It was the day
                                                          after halloween, thursday. I got home and she was still asleep, bu
                                                          after i had taken a shower and was fumbling around the kitchen she
                                                          emerged from her room with the blood of her costume (vampire) still
                                                          dripping down her chin. We talked for a while in the kitchen, how the
                                                          night went, what our plans were for the day. Nothing out of the
                                                          ordinary. then she went to take a shower and i began to start eating a
                                                          little while i waited for my friend (Raffaele-at whose house i stayed
                                                          over) to arrive at my house. He came right after i started eating and
                                                          he made himself some pasta. as we were eating together meredith came
                                                          out of the shower and grabbed some laundry or put some laundry in, one
                                                          or the other and returned into her room after saying hi to raffael.
                                                          after lunch i began to play guitar with raffael and meredith came out
                                                          of her room and went to the door. she said bye and left for the day.
                                                          it was the last time i saw her alive.
                                                          after a little while of playing guitar me and raffael went to his
                                                          house to watch movies and after to eat dinner and generally spend the
                                                          evening and night indoors. we didnt go out. the next morning i woke up
                                                          around 1030 and after grabbing my few things i left raffael's
                                                          appartment and walked the five minute walk back to my house to once
                                                          again take a shower and grab a chane of clothes. i also needed to grab
                                                          a mop because after dinner raffael had spilled a lot of water on the
                                                          floor of his kitchen by accident and didnt have a mop to clean it up.
                                                          so i arrived home and the first abnormal thing i noticed was the door
                                                          was wide open. here's the thingabout the door to our house: its
                                                          broken, in such a way that you have to use the keys to keep it closed.
                                                          if we dont have the door locked, it is really easy for the wond to
                                                          blow the door open, and so, my roommates and i always have the door
                                                          locked unless we are running really quickley to bring the garbage out

                                                          important piece of imformation: for those who dont know, i inhabit a
                                                          house of two stories, of which my three roommates and i share the
                                                          second story appartment. there are four italian guys of our age
                                                          between 22 and 26 who live below us. we are all wuite good friends and
                                                          we talk often. giacomo is especially welcome because he plays guitar
                                                          with me and laura, one of my roommates, and is, or was dating
                                                          meredith. the other three are marco, stefano, and ricardo.) anyway, so
                                                          the door was wide open. strange, yes, but not so strange that i really
                                                          thought anything about it. i assumed someone in the house was doing
                                                          exactly what i just said, taking out the trash or talking really
                                                          uickley to the neighbors downstairs. so i closed the door behind me
                                                          but i didnt lock it, assuming that the person who left the door open
                                                          would like to come back in. when i entered i called out if anyone was
                                                          there, but no one responded and i assumed that if anyone was there,
                                                          they were still asleep. lauras door was open which meant she wasnt
                                                          home, and filomenas door was also closed. my door was open like always
                                                          and meredith door was closed, which to me weant she was sleeping. i
                                                          undressed in my room and took a quick shower in one of the two
                                                          bathrooms in my house, the one that is right next to meredith and my
                                                          bedrooms (situated right next to one another). it was after i stepped
                                                          out of the shower and onto the mat that i noticed the blood in the
                                                          bathroom. it was on the mat i was using to dry my feet and there were
                                                          drops of blood in the sink. at first i thought the blood might have
                                                          come from my ears which i had pierced extrensively not too long ago,
                                                          but then immediately i know it wasnt mine becaus the stains on the mat
                                                          were too big for just droplets form my ear, and when i touched the
                                                          blood in the sink it was caked on already. there was also blood
                                                          smeered on the faucet. again, however, i thought it was strange,
                                                          because my roommates and i are very clean and we wouldnt leave blood
                                                          int he bathroom, but i assumed that perhaps meredith was having
                                                          menstral issues and hadnt cleaned up yet. ew, but nothing to worry
                                                          about. i left the bathroom and got dressed in my room. after i got
                                                          dressed i went to the other bathroom in my house, the one that
                                                          filomena dn laura use, and used their hairdryer to obviously dry my
                                                          hair and it was after i was putting back the dryer that i noticed the
                                                          shit that was left in the toilet, something that definately no one in
                                                          out house would do. i started feeling a little uncomfortable and so i
                                                          grabbed the mop from out closet and lef the house, closing and locking
                                                          the door that no one had come back through while i was in the shower,
                                                          and i returned to raffael's place. after we had used the mop to clean
                                                          up the kitchen i told raffael about what i had seen in the house over
                                                          breakfast. the strange blood in the bathroom, the door wide open, the
                                                          shit left in the toilet. he suggested i call one of my roommates, so i
                                                          called filomena. filomena had been at a party the night before with
                                                          her boyfriend marco (not the same marco who lives downstairs but we'll
                                                          call him marco-f as in filomena and the other can be marco-n as in
                                                          neighbor). she also told me that laura wasnt at home and hadnt been
                                                          because she was on business in rome. which meant the only one who had
                                                          spent the night at our house last night was meredith, and she was as
                                                          of yet unaccounted for. filomena seemed really worried, so i told her
                                                          id call meredith and then call her back. i called both of merediths
                                                          phones the english one first and last and the italian one between. the
                                                          first time i called the english phone is rang and then sounded as of
                                                          there was disturbance, but no one answered. i then calle the italian
                                                          phone and it just kept ringing, no answer. i called her english phone
                                                          again and this time an english voice told me her phone was out of
                                                          service. raffael and i gathered our things and went back to my house.
                                                          i unlocked the door and im going to tell this really slowly to get
                                                          everything right so just have patience with me. the living
                                                          room/kitchen was fine. looked perfectly normal. i was checking for
                                                          signs of our things missing, should there have been a burglar in our
                                                          house the night before. filomenas room was closed, but when i opned
                                                          the door her room and a mess and her window was open and completely
                                                          broken, but her computer was still sitting on her desk like it always
                                                          was and this confused me. convinced that we had been robbed i went to
                                                          lauras room and looked quickley in, but it was spottless, like it
                                                          hadnt even been touced. this too, i thought was odd. i then went into
                                                          the part of the house that meredith and i share and checked my room
                                                          for things missing, which there werent. then i knocked on merediths
                                                          room.
                                                          at first i thought she was alseep so i knocked gently, but when she
                                                          didnt respond i knocked louder and louder until i was really banging
                                                          on her door and shouting her name. no response. panicing, i ran out
                                                          onto our terrace to see if maybe i could see over the ledge into her
                                                          room from the window, but i couldnt see in. bad angle. i then went
                                                          into the bathroom where i had dried my hair and looked really quickley
                                                          into the toilet. in my panic i thought i hadnt seen anything there,
                                                          which to me meant whoever was in my house had been there when i had
                                                          been there. as it turns out the police told me later that the toilet
                                                          was full and that the shit had just fallen to the bottom of the
                                                          toilet, so i didnt see it. i ran outside and down to our neighbors
                                                          door. the lights were out but i banged ont he door anyway. i wanted to
                                                          ask them if they had heard anything the night before, but no one was
                                                          home. i ran back into the house. in the living room raffael told me he
                                                          wanted to see if he could break down merediths door. he tried, and
                                                          cracked the door, but we couldnt open it. it was then that we decided
                                                          to call the cops. there are two types of cops in italy, carbanieri
                                                          (local, dealing with traffic and domestic calls) and the police
                                                          investigaters. he first called his sister for advice and then called
                                                          the carbanieri. i then called filomna who said she would be on her way
                                                          home immediately. while we were waiting, two ununiformed police
                                                          investigaters came to our house. i showed them what i could and told
                                                          them what i knew. gave them ohone numbers and explained a bit in
                                                          broken italian, and then filomena arrived with her boyfriend marco-f
                                                          and two other friends of hers. all together we checked the houe out,
                                                          talked to the polie,a nd in a big they all opened merediths door.
                                                          i was in the kitchen stadning aside, having really done my part for
                                                          the situation. but when they opened merediths door and i heard
                                                          filomena scream "a foot! a foot!" in italian i immedaitely tried to
                                                          get to merediths room but raffael grabbed me and took me out of the
                                                          house. the police told everyone to get out and not long afterward the
                                                          carabinieri arrived and then soon afterward, more police
                                                          investigators. they took all of our informaton and asked us the same
                                                          questions over and over. at the time i had only what i was wearing and
                                                          my badg, which thankfully had my passport in it and my wallet. no
                                                          jacket though, and i was freezing. after sticking around at the housr
                                                          for a bit, the police told us to go to the station to give testimony,
                                                          which i did. i was in a room for six hours straight after that without
                                                          seeing anyone else, answering questions in italian for the first hour
                                                          and then they brought in an interpreter and he helped my out with the
                                                          details that i didnt know the words for. they asked me of course about
                                                          the the morning, the last time i saw her, and because i was the
                                                          closest to her, questions about her habits and her relationships.
                                                          afterward, when they were taking my fingerprints, i met two of
                                                          merediths english friends, two girls she goes out with, including the
                                                          lat one who saw her alive that night she was murdered. they also had
                                                          their prints taken. after that, this was around 9 at night by this
                                                          time, i was taken into the waiting room where there was various other
                                                          people who i all knew from varous places who all knew meredith. her
                                                          friends from england, my roommates, even the owner of the pub she most
                                                          frequented. after a while my neighbors were taken in too, having just
                                                          arived home from a weeklong vacation in their home town, which
                                                          eplained why they werent home when i banged on their door. later than
                                                          that another guy showed up and was taken in for questioning, a guy i
                                                          dont like but who both meredith and i knew from different occasions, a
                                                          morracan guy that i only know by his nickname amongst the girls
                                                          "shaky". then i sat around in this waiting room wthout having the
                                                          chance to leave or eat anything besides vending maschine food (whcih
                                                          gave me a hell of a stomache ache) until 530 in the morning. during
                                                          this time i received calls from a lot of different people, family
                                                          mostly of course, and i also talked with the rest. especially to find
                                                          out what exactly was in merediths room whent hey opened it. apparently
                                                          her body was laying under a sheet, and with her foot sticking out and
                                                          there was a lot of blood. whoever had did this had slit her throat.
                                                          they told me to be back in at 11am. i went home to raffael's place and
                                                          ate something substantial, and passed out.
                                                          in the morning raffael drove me bck to the police station but had to
                                                          leave me when they said they wantrd to take me back to the house for
                                                          quesioning. before i go on, id like to ssay that i was strictly told
                                                          not to speak about this, but im speaking with you people who are not
                                                          involved and who cant do anything bad except talk to journalists,
                                                          which i hope you wont do. i have to get this off my chest because its
                                                          pressing down on me and it helps to know that someone besides me knows
                                                          something, and that im not the one who knows the most out of everyone.
                                                          at the house they asked me very personal questions about meredith's
                                                          life and also about the personalities of our neighbors. how well did i
                                                          know them? pretty well, we are friends. was meredith sexually active?
                                                          yeah, she borrowed a few of my condoms. does she like anal? wtf? i
                                                          dont know. does she use vaseline? for her lips? what kind of person is
                                                          stefano? nice guy, has a really pretty girlfriend. hmmm...very
                                                          interesting....weìd like to how you something, and tell us if this is
                                                          out of normal.
                                                          tehy took me into the nieghbors house. the had breaken the door open
                                                          to get in, but they told me to ingonore that. the rooms were all open.
                                                          giacomo and marco-n's room was spotless which made since becaus the
                                                          guys had thoroughly cleaned the whole house before they left on
                                                          vacation. stefano's room however, well, his bed was strpped of linens,
                                                          which was odd, and the comfoter he used was shoved up at the top of
                                                          his bed, with blood on it. i obviously told then that the blood was
                                                          definatley out of normal and also that he usually has his bed made.
                                                          they took note of it and ussred me out. when i left the house to go
                                                          back to the police station they told me to put my jacket over my head
                                                          and duck down below the window so the reporters wouldnt try to talk to
                                                          me. at the station i just had to repeat the answers that i had givne
                                                          at the house do they could type them up and after a good 5 and a half
                                                          hour day with the police again raffael picked me up and took me out
                                                          for some well-deserved pizza. i was starving. i then bought some
                                                          underwear because as it turns out i wont be able to leave italy for a
                                                          while as well as enter my house. i only had the clothes i was wearing
                                                          the day it bagan, so i bought some underwear and borrwed a pair of
                                                          pants from raffael.
                                                          Spoke with my remaining roommates that night (last night) and it was a
                                                          hurricane of emotions and stress but we needed it anyway. What we have
                                                          been discussing is bascially what to do next. We are trying to keep
                                                          our heads on straight. First things first though, my roommates both
                                                          work for lawyers, and they are going to try to send a request through
                                                          on monday to retrieve important documents of ours that are still in
                                                          the house. Secondly, we are going to talk to the agency that we used
                                                          to find our house and obviously request to move out. It kind of sucks
                                                          that we have to pay the next months rent, but the owner has protection
                                                          within the contract. After that, I guess I'll go back to class on
                                                          monday, although im not sure what im going to do about people asking
                                                          me questions, because i really dont want to talk again about what
                                                          happened. Ive been talking an awful lot lately and im pretty tired of
                                                          it. After that, Its like im trying to remember what i was doing before
                                                          all this happened. I still need to figure out who i need to talk to
                                                          and what i need to do to continue studying in perugia, because its
                                                          what i want to do.
                                                          Anyway, thats the update, feeling okay, hope you all are well,

All We here about is how she is a poor victim. There is a lot of questions like why she lied so much. I think she looked very guilty even before the verdict. Italy's system is similar to ours, they use a jury made up of regular citizens, so we have to believe that the average Italian citizen is just as fair as the average american citizen.

                                                            To me, it was a fair trial. The Italian guy got 25 years while Knox got 26, so to me the justice was pretty equal. I think in this country we just cant face the fact that females can do some pretty evil shit just like men.

                                                            I honestly believe that if the Murder happened in this country, Knox would have been given immunity and she would have testified against her boyfriend and he would have gotten like 70 years and she would have walked away scot free.

                                                            Milf is accustomed to the US profemale antimale judicial system we have here where an accomplice to murder and complete bullshitter like AK would cut a deal for immunity and turn on her bf and Guede and get 5 years probation while both guys get life without parole, the system is based on the idea that any man accused of a crime is a naturally evil criminal while women are all gentle saints that if they acted criminally was only due to being abused by evil males, the truth of course is women are about 10x crazier than guys which is why they're all on antidepressant/bipolar medication and if they were as strong as guys would be starting fights all the time

                                                              Hardly the case, bettil. I'm in agreement w/ you regarding women's nature ... and Amanda looks to me like a lying bitch-whore.

                                                              However, I need to see evidence where and how she was involved in the rape/killing. The African guy is the only one I can definitvely say anything about relating to the crime.

                                                                    What a slut this Amanda girl was. I watched film clips of the trial and she's got herpes on her lip.

                                                                    Even though she was interrogated a lengthy time, there is no excuse for falsely accusing her bartender employer of the grisly murder. That alone should get her locked up.

                                                                        Why is she lying nonstop? To protect her bf, her rapist/murderer drug dealer friend, herself, who knows, but whatever reason it leads the jury to believe she knows more about what happened than she's letting on and if she's willing to risk prosecution for murder to not come clean about what happened its prolly incriminating stuff
