Amanda Knox Verdict: Italian Court Finds American Student Guilty Of Murder
Amanda Knox, Amanda Knox Guilty, Amanda Knox, Amanda Knox Retrial, Amanda Knox Retrial Verdict, Amanda Knox Trial, Amanda Knox Trial Verdict, Amanda Knox, WorldPost News

An Italian court has found Amanda Knox guilty of murder in her latest trial on Thursday, ABC reports.

This is the third trial for Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend, Rafaelle Sollecito, in the 2007 murder of Knox's British roommate, Meredith Kercher. An Italian court found Knox and Sollecito guilty in 2009, but the pair was acquitted in 2011 on appeal after spending four years in jail.

Knox returned to the Seattle area to resume her studies until Italy's highest court struck down the appellate decision in March 2013.

As USA Today notes, the Knox saga has grabbed headlines around the world, with the University of Washington student being portrayed "both as a she-devil bent on sexual adventure and as a naif caught up in Italy's Byzantine justice system."

With the conviction, Knox and Sollecito's case will return to the supreme court. If the verdict is upheld, Italy could seek to extradite Knox to serve her sentence. This process could take months, and according to legal experts, the U.S. might challenge extradition on the basis of "double jeopardy," a defense that forbids a defendant from being tried again for the same crime after an acquittal.

Well, it's interesting that in Italy, you can be tried twice. The forefathers of this country knew that getting tried twice was not fair, and occurred in courts in England.
I don't think the US shoudl send her back. However, Amanda Knox should not travel outside of the US ever. That's where she can get caught and extradited. It would be funny if the Italian government sent her a free vacation to Italy and she fell for it. :lolbron:

Of course not. As backwards as many parts of Italy are, its judicial system is probably its worst aspect. I don't know enough about the trial but i'm sure if i dig deep enough I would find so much Italian incompetency and corruption that if it were an American court case It would have been thrown out years ago.

Actually this is not true.

The Italian system enables the independence of prosecutors, which then enables the possibility to sentence financial and political elite.
Bare in mind that a person with financial and political power and connections of Berlusconi (and public support, he can still win 30% with some tv propaganda!!!) in most other countries would never get charged... Italy is one of rare remaining countries that manages to prosecute its elite...

If a judge is corrupt (or simply makes a mistake) there is a way to repeat the trial after the prosecution appeal... This is not necessarily a bad feature. On the contrary, in Italy it is one of the crucial instruments in a fight against mafias, since those often tend to corrupt judges.
