Justice served. It doesn't matter whether you think she was guilty or innocent. Justice has been served through due process.

I just recently looked into the case, and found out they really had no evidence against her. What an ordeal.

"Justice has been served through due process." ?
The absurdity of the prosecution to claim that Amanda, her BF, and the guy downstairs conspired to kill Amanda's flatmate of two weeks?... hardly justice. Sure, due process righted a horrible wrong, but damn did it take some time and Money. Maybe some Justice, will come when that prosecutor is behind bars - which might happen.

Never understood how they could have found her guilty in the first place. The prosecution contended that it was a drug and sex game gone bad...but the ONLY DNA of hers they found was sort of on the knife, and some maybe on a bra clasp. That DNA shiat should have been everywhere...
GTFO Amanda, bite your thumb at them and go home.

Funny that you can find fault with such a simple basic legal concept. I stick by my comment.

I'd be in a car/train/plane/boat/bicycle or running as fast as I could to the nearest border.

Maybe you mean "justice" in some sort of circular self-defining legalese.

Not some sort of circular self-defining legalese at all.
Definition of JUSTICE by Websters Dictionary: 1 a : the maintenance or administration of what is just especially by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims or the assignment of merited rewards or punishments b : judge c : the administration of law; especially : the establishment or determination of rights according to the rules of law or equity 2 a : the quality of being just, impartial, or fair b (1) : the principle or ideal of just dealing or right action (2) : conformity to this principle or ideal : righteousness c : the quality of conforming to law 3: conformity to truth, fact, or reason : correctness You may not think the treatment of her was not just, but legally, justice was served through the administration of law. Argue all you want, but this is a undeniable fact.

...could it also be argued as fact that the administration of law robbed her of the 4 years since this shiat never should have gone to trial?

Knox's original conviction and subsequent incarceration were an injustice perpetrated against her.

You just laid out 3 defn's . . .and then seek the high ground of singular "undeniable fact." Was taking 4 years from a twenty y/o woman, to figure out whether she had any involvement in that crime justice ...aka " (2) righteousness" ?
