she wouldnt have went to trial 3 times if she was black lolIf she was black, she would have been sent back on the first thing smokin
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.
No. Getting tried for a crime one didn't commit multiple times wasn't fair. Crime and justice was different in England.The "forefathers" knew getting tried twice for a crime they probably committed wasn't fair but slavery was ay?
America under the international laws has a duty to extradite her back to Italy.
This right here shows her guilt. Falsely accusing someone just for the fukk of it. Yeah she should be sent back! Dumb ass Italy should've never let her out of prison in the first place.Knox Trial Perceptions
Amanda Knox prepares to leave the set following a television interview, Friday, Jan. 31, 2014 in New York. Knox said she will fight the reinstated guilty verdict against her and an ex-boyfriend in the 2007 slaying of a British roommate in Italy and vowed to "never go willingly" to face her fate in that country's judicial system . "I'm going to fight this to the very end," she said in an interview with Robin Roberts on ABC's "Good Morning America." (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan)
Amanda Knox was recently re-convicted, alongside Raffaele Sollecito, of killing her roommate, Meredith Kercher back in 2007. Now, the 25-year-old is speaking out in a new interview with The Guardian about her refusal to return to Italy and the guilt she feels over accusing barman Patrick Lumumba of the murder.
Lumumba, Knox's former boss at a nearby bar, was held in custody for two weeks after Knox told police she heard him kill Kercher in the house they shared in Italy. Now, Knox reveals that she "really struggled what happened with Patrick," saying she knows how hurt he was over the accusations.
In the Guardian interview Knox explains, "Granted, I was in a position where I couldn't give answers. But if you read what I said after my interrogations, I said I could not testify against him, and yet his lawyer continues to say I was going to let him languish in prison. And the police kept him when he had an alibi, so his anger is misdirected."
Knox goes on to explain the breakdown she faced when she falsely named Lumumba: "When I named Patrick, I just started weeping. I thought, Oh my God, it must be true what they're saying. I must have witnessed my friend's murder somehow, and now I'm traumatised enough to not even remember it. And to be drawn into this horrible idea of what happened was so completely overwhelming that I just wept for I don't know how long. I was delirious."
Knox was later found guilty of slandering Patrick Lumumba and given an additional three year sentence.
Also in the The Guardian interview, Knox reveals she feels trapped after the new verdict, but is trying to keep her head high: "I'm trying to stay in the present moment, just do things, because otherwise it's overwhelming."
Meanwhile, Knox's former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito told PEOPLE that he has no regrets about returning to Italy because he has nothing to hide. Sollecito faces 26 years in prison while Knox received 28 and a half years.
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.
I had friends in that earthquake, a couple with two boys. Everything was shaking for days before the big earthquake, and the officials were telling them everything is ok, even if there were other scientists warning to evacuate. My friends stayed put (the guy had to work on highway viability) and they were lucky. Their building survived, while the identical one next to them collapced into pieces during the night.
Now the main scientist of the municipality says he was also suggesting evacuation (although pubblicly he was saying differently at the time). I don't know where the problem was, there will be an appeal, and the process is still going on, but someone should to be responsible for the lack of evacuation and the tragic loss of lives in that place.
Breh, come on... we can't predict earthquakes. We going to blame Al Roker for lives lost in hurricanes now?
