The murder conviction was just overturned for both of them. She is immediately free to leave the country. I'd read elsewhere that she was found guilty of 'defamation'. Not sure what that's about, but they've ordered her to be released and she's free to GTFO of Italy. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/10/03/501364/main20114867.shtml
Talking bad about the court is what the defamation is about, but yea good for her and get her *** out of that country.
They have a clown car for a legal system. How the prosecutor remains in power is a bad joke. We have it pretty good here.
The defamation was for pointing out the wrong person, which she did. She pointed out a bar owner who has an air tight alibi. Stupid thing to do, but I'm sure as a 20 year old under media and police scrutiny she panicked. She will get time served for that though, so she will be back at her home probably tomorrow. Glad she is free though, there is no evidence. The prosecutor Giuliano Mignini is a shady, controversial man who didn't want to admit he made a mistake.
And we haven't seen the best of their clown act: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/26/italy-quake-experts-manslaughter-charge
She got 3 years for the Slander count, and has been in jail for 4 years, so she is free on time served.......soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo........... Casey Anthony/Amanda Knox sex tape? too soon?
Finally. You know, next time I criticize the general lack of education in the US, I'm going to try to keep in mind that 60+% of Italians STILL believe that Amanda Knox is guilty. Yeah.
I was waiting to see how long this thread would take to get to i'd bang her... As I suspected not long, much hotter than Casey Anthony.
Like many other justice systems based on Roman law you are assumed guilty until proven innocent .You can be detained a considerable amount of time without evidence as Amanda found out . Her biggest mistake was being arrogant, disrespectful and sarcastic .She laughed at the ridiculous charges and that was interpreted as being guilty. I expect she will modify her behaviour now .Italian law is still based on medieval practices and needs to be modified IMO.
