The Knox/Sollecito Case is Over--Really

The Italian Supreme Court overturned both convictions in the 2007 murder case of Meredith Kercher, and the case is now closed for good.

It was all a bunch of bullshit anyway, peddled by a batshit crazy and corrupt prosecutor and by an equally batshit European tabloid media. Neither person had anything to do with the murder, and the killer, Rudy Guede, is serving prison time.

Thank God for small miracles.

Italy's Supreme Court has overturned the murder conviction of American Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend in the 2007 slaying of her British roommate, the court announced late Friday.

Knox, 27, of Seattle, was convicted in 2009 for the killing of British student Meredith Kercher, who shared an apartment with her in the Italian university town of Perugia. Knox's boyfriend at the time, Raffaele Sollecito, had been found guilty, too.

The case is now closed, the court said, and both Knox and Sollecito are free to go.

Italy is a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to deal with its court system.

Thank God We Don't Have Italian "Justice"

It is absolutely unreal that the country's supreme court has said Amanda Knox will be retried for the murder of Meredith Kercher.

I hope Raffaeli Sollecito has left the country.

Knox can't be compelled to return to Italy, and even if she is convicted, I seriously doubt she would be extradited.

Maybe the U.S. can extradite Juan Martinez to prosecute the case and yank him off the Arias case; his behavior has gotten more and more erratic over the course of the trial.

The Amanda Knox Case

is surely a hideous injustice, especially now that 48 Hours has pretty much blown apart the prosecution's case out of the water.

Both she and her boyfriend should be released, but this despicable, lawless prosecutor is hellbent on getting her convicted. Public opinion in Italy always wants her convicted and imprisoned.

Unbelievable.

More here. I wish there could be something done about this. It's just outrageous. I am convinced she and her friend had nothing to do with Meredith Kercher's murder.


Here is another story about the persecutor--er, prosecutor:

The Italian prosecutor managing the murder trial of Seattle native Amanda Knox has added another target to his list -- Knox's neighborhood newspaper, the West Seattle Herald.

According to a BBC report filed Thursday, prosecutor Giuliano Mignini told reporters that he would take legal action against the paper for a Jan. 30 story that contained a claim by Knox's supporters that Mignini is "mentally unstable."
