Amanda Knox

506 replies

YourBrickTiger · 21/08/2025 09:08

I see there is another Amanda Knox series out on Hulu/Disney. I've always followed the case closely. But I have mixed feelings. At first I thought Amanda was involved in the murder but as time has gone on, there isn't a shred of proof (from a DNA pov) against her. But should she continue to make money from the case? I feel deeply sorry for Meredith's family. As her sister Stephanie said, Meredith is the 'forgotten victim' in this. I understand she did spend 4 years behind bars and wants to be vindicated - and she does help other innocent victims who have been jailed - but I feel it's too much now and that Meredith is being lost in it all. What do you think?

You showed one photo.

Do police only take one photo of a crime scene? No they don't.

There was more blood in the room than that.

It’s ok I’ll do the work for you.

Large amounts of blood you say…where?

It’s ok to admit you were wrong you know.

But I’ll await the photo where there was “large amounts of blood all over the bathroom”…funny how this large amount of blood was nowhere near the space in the photo I posted though. It must have been a localised pool of blood, as bathrooms of crime scenes often have

You literally showed one singular photo of the crime scene.

There were many, many more photos.

I’ve posted one above that shows the whole bathroom. Kindly show me the many many photos that show large amounts of blood

I doubt it, it’s hard to find things that don’t exist.

I have. They don’t exist. The ones I posted exist. You’re welcome.

Besides YOU are the one claiming there’s <checks notes> many, many pictures of large amounts of blood in the bathroom. I’d say the onus is on YOU to prove it.

[spoiler alert: you’re wrong]

ImGoingUpstairsToTakeOffMyHat · 21/08/2025 23:19

It is always entertaining though to see someone put out a barefaced lie and be annoyed that other people can’t prove the lie 🤣

Applebun · 21/08/2025 23:20

If it wasnt that much blood why did amanda knox ring her flatmate and say this

"She said that Knox told her that she had noticed blood splattered in the bathroom after coming home to find the front door open."

The flatmate remarked that she thought it was odd that amanda had taken a shower in a blood spattered bathroom

I tried to find some, but could only find those similar to the ones posted by @ImGoingUpstairsToTakeOffMyHat , which showed a very small amount of blood, easily attributable to a period. So I assumed it was just my incompetence that meant I was unable to find them and hoped you’d be able to help me out.

Yes.

Why then, are you being so critical of Amanda in this case when Meredith was murdered by a man?

This was an innocent woman who was wrongly convicted after a man murdered a woman, Guede ruined many lives, and I know he wasn't the first to point the finger at Amanda so he didn't plan that out but he still played a part in ruining Amandas, at least at the time. And the course of her life was forever altered. But yet despite going through that hellish ordeal and trying to find meaning in her life afterwards you're on here going on about how she's cold and has no empathy and blah blah.

Where's your empathy?? Do you not have any empathy for a woman who has suffered in that way?

I’m more than happy to believe they exist if evidence is provided, I’m just struggling to find them. As you’ve seen them, I thought you’d be able to provide the evidence.

Seems like she was taken in by the leaked picture. "A photo of the bathroom in which Knox showered before calling the police, which appeared to show it drenched in blood, was published without an accompanying explanation — that it was taken after police had sprayed the bathroom with a blood-detection chemical that turns pink after a certain period of time, whether blood is present or not."

Who said I don't have empathy for her?

I said she is not a murderer, and I do feel sad for her being locked up for four years.

But her behaviour brought her to the attention of the police, which otherwise would not have happened had she acted as any normal person would have done in this situation. Immediately after Meredith’s death, she was doing gymnastics/cartwheels in the police station, and being overly affectionate/touchy/acting inappropriately with her BF. So obviously it did raise suspicions about whether she was involved.

Can't see how that behaviour points to guilt at all. If anything it indicates that being interviewed by the police will just be a formality.

Because she had noticed blood in the bathroom maybe?

We are talking about out the many many photos though. Just would like to see one.

This thread is a strong case for abolishing jury services!

I’ll confess this is what I was waiting for being posted.

If people think dried blood is pink I suggest they go back to school - the fact this was implied as blood in the media is fucking shocking

I did see that photo in my search but it didn’t occur to me that people would mistake it for blood! I can’t find any other photos of a blood spattered bathroom but @Applebun is certain they exist so I’m sure we’ll see them soon.

"Im sure we will see them soon".
Why do posters keep saying this over and over to me.

As I already said, I never ever provide photos or links on mumsnet, when I am demanded to do so. Ever. I never have and never will.

So move on.
