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?

Your posts are ignorant rude and immature as always, I see.

Standard fare from you

Interesting to see you've ignored the substance of a post when it says something that's inconvenient to your argument. Standard fare from you, photo inventor.

Raffaele Sollecito didn’t get anywhere near the amount of negative (worldwide) press that Knox did. As you can see just from this thread, people think she is weird, unlikeable. moronic etc because of what they’ve read about her. How many people do you think would be queueing up to hire her?
Why shouldn’t she tell her story?
Im not sure what your point is. You said you don’t think she did it, so what is the issue here? What is she guilty of?

He did get a huge amount of negative press.

I actually think it’s really bizarre that you’ve continued to post on this thread at all having been proven to have been lying about the existence of a photo of the bathroom covered in blood. How are we supposed to take anything else you say seriously?

SomeOfTheTrouble · 30/08/2025 16:53

Actually don’t bother answering that, I don’t take anything you say seriously.

Not at all, it's not only funny but also useful to remind anyone who's forgotten just how comprehensively you've already shown yourself up on this issue. But let's leave it there for a second and focus only on your most recent criticism.

I see you've not addressed either the point that you have no idea whether Knox is one of the MOJ victims who's able to hold down a normal job or not. An oversight, I'm sure. I also eagerly await your response to the poster who advised you of Rafaele Sollecito's literary activities.

Lol i am laughing that you think i care in the slightest what you think of me.

News for you: I don't.

Raffaele Sollecito was also wrongly convicted for the murder.

I don't see him cashing in on the murder with Netflix deals, Hulu deals and book deals like Amanda knox is.

Edited

She was tortured and abused into a false confession, villified and shamed by the media and then locked up for 4 years for a crime she didn't commit. The reason Rafaelle Sollecito could walk past me in the street without me noticing but I'd recognise Amanda Knox anywhere has nothing to do with her own projects and everything to do with the sensationalist headlines at the time. She will never again get the chance of a normal life, that was stolen from her.

She doesn't have to do ANYTHING to satisfy your ideas about what the "right" reaction is to that.

She is more than entitled to tell her story and spread awareness of what happens when racism, misogyny, and lazy police work coincide. And she deserves every penny she makes from it.

That’s fine. I don’t care what you think of me either. But you can’t expect people to engage with you in good faith on a thread where you have invented the existence of evidence to further your agenda.

You forgot to write "in my opinion".

That is your opinion. I have mine

Again i dont care in the slightest what you think of me. You on the other hand are obsessed with me and wont leave me alone.

Maybe leave me alone and write to other posters?

Noone else has lied like you have, that’s why I’m ’obsessed’ with you 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's a matter of fact, verified by the ECHR and the Italian courts actually. No "opinions" needed- the matter has been settled.

I wasn’t deleted, so I’m guessing MN didn’t uphold your report. It’s not actually against talk guidelines to call someone a liar when they’ve told a proven lie.
Anyway… I don’t think there’s anything else useful that can be said on this thread.

The sensationalist headlines were also abkut Raffaele at the time. I remember them. That he was involved in a sex game gone wrong

They obviously didn’t agree that it was personal abuse then, as they didn’t delete my comment.
Why don’t you leave me alone? God you’re obsessed!
