Amanda Knox

[peggyrose]

What a shame Amanda Know has to go back to Italy to face a second trial on about murder of her roomate . Surprise that Italian justice lets
a person be .tried on case that before were found not quilty !  We are lucky in USA that we have double jeopardy.   What do you ?

I agree. She was found not guilty. They should look at the boyfriend more. He probably assaulted her roommate and killed her when she fought back.

Do you really think she will return to Italy?  I can't see why she would return on her own, and I don't think our government will send her back.

She's not returning to Italy for the trial and any extradition would be very unlikely.

I wouldn't go back there either. I think they found that judge to be corrupt in the past. They actually have an idea who did the crime but never pursed them. A person that they don't know.

I'm not sure she was found "not guilty."  I think the case was just overturned or something.  I know very little about it as I didn't follow it closely at the time.

I watched that Lifetime movie!!! It seemed a little suspicious to me. The movie made it seem like she was totally guilty.

I wish Amanda Knox all the best on this situation she found herself in.  It is sad she had to go though this again. 

[bowrunner]

Evidently my previous post was in error.  I heard tonight that Amanda Knox was acquitted and now they plan on retrying her.  So it is not the same as in the USA where you can't be retried for the same crime once you are acquitted.  I expect she will not be going to Italy in her lifetime as she almost surely won't be extradited from the US.

Haha I agree! The Lifetime movie made it look like she totally did it!
I cant see it though, I cant see her doing it but i guess you never know.
I hate cases that never have concrete yes or nos because someone could be wrongly accused and rot in jail or a killer could get off scot free.. 
But I do think thats unfair that they are trying to have a second trial unless they have overwhelming evidence, because she was already let off..what more can you say
But from the movie and articles ive read, seems like there were plenty of other sketchy people involved. Coulda been anyone but she couldve easily been involved. I think if Amanda didn't party and get into promiscuity and all that comes with it, then she probably wouldnt have been in this situation.

i know this story but i dont get it. how would her room mate come up dead? and why would she kill her? if it was over a guy then she was stupid.

[msmoneybags48]

I take it her roommate was Italian.  Why else would they put that poor woman through being tried again?  She was in the United States and maybe she should have stayed here instead of traveling so far.  I think the boyfriend killed her and she is going to pay for it.  I feel really bad for her.

[mgint]

our govt. wont send her to Italy even if found guilty so she will be ok . she shouldn't be tried again since she was acquitted.

[jonhall37]

that whole thing is a mess. her and her family have been threw alot. i still am up in the air on who really did it....

I have been in 24 different countries when I was in the Military and Yes most of them were considered Democracies but, the Justice systems are totally different. Young people normally don't think about how they would be treated under another country's justice system (other than US). I could tell you stories that would curl your hair, about what happened to friends of mine while I was deployed just for Drunk and disorderly.

The situation with Amanda Knox is that the Italian system does not have a double Jepordy law, which means if they find new evidence they can try this case as many times as they want. I doubt this will happen because the US would have to extradite her back to Italy, which means, arrest her in (US) and send her to Italy, this will not happen in my opinion because it would cause a huge uproar in this country and it would go against our own laws. I don't think the US government would take that chance.

I have not kept up on the case, what I do know is that she was going to School in Italy and sharing the apartment with this girl, the girl that was killed was not American. I believe she was Italian. You Don't even want to see Jails in other countries, they are closer to dungeons than jails, and that is no joke!
