If I was Amanda Knox

I wouldn't be booking any vacation time in Italy, or anywhere near there.

The Italian "justice" system is somewhat of a joke. They convict scientists for man slaughter when they don't exactly predict the time and severity of an earthquake - like we have the knowledge to prevent that!

Basically, when something happens, you have a "rage" that needs to be taken out somewhere, so a target is picked, and it taken out upon them. That is Italian "justice".

On the news this morning, I don't think the US will extradite her because of the double-jeopardy issue. However, I would be concerned about traveling anywhere inside the EU.

I probably wouldn't be using the name "Amanda Know" much either. I would get used to something else like "Sally Fairfield" or something...

I read the book by her co-accused italian boyfriend, and it makes a good case for their innocence. So ok, they liked to get a little stoned and scr*w. Gee 22 yrs old, who would
have ever thunk it. And I wouldn't blame her boyfriend thinkin' that was a good idea!

Why are they pursuing this? Prosecutor saving face?

Ivory Coast drifter Guede fled to Germany
immediately after Kercher was killed, but
was lured by police and a friend into a Skype
call. He was sentenced to 30 years, which
was reduced on appeal to 16 years. DNA at
the crime scene and on the victim matched
Rudy Guede..

Not double jeopardy, even here. A higher level appellate court sent it back to a lower level appellate court with instructions - that could happen here, even.

If I was Amanda Knox, I'd do a Playboy spread, before old age and gravity take their toll.

Just sayin'...

We have a different legal system. If a defendant is acquited for a crime at the end of a trial then they can't be retried for that crime. Now if there is a mistrial prior to an acquital verdict then the prosecutor could choose to retry the case.
