Amanda Knox

[YourBrickTiger]

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’re either gullible or naive if you believe what the pre-Levenson media and corrupt Italian police (this is fact BTW, the prosecutor was shortly after convicted of corruption over a different case)

Pardon me but some of us go on evidence, not random gossip.

She was widely reported as having done cartwheels so where is your evidence that she didn't?

So you believed someone else’s claim that she straddled him?

Why?

There were reports from meredith's friends at the time, that Amanda did do cartwheels in the police station.

Im not saying if its wrong or right.

Just that people did see her doing them

And you have the evidence, do you?
In any case, I said in my very first post that she was clearly innocent of the murder. We just don't have proof that she didn't do cartwheels.

JFC she did neither.

She did however do yoga. She admitted that.

Again - tell us what is normal in a response to extreme shock?

Knox straddling and kissing her boyfriend at the police station is mentioned in media and court transcripts, but the original clip has been removed from online.

I vividly remember it, and she was laughing throughout.

I think she did do cartwheels. People saw her doing them

You can’t prove a negative.

Thats like me saying “Prove she didn’t pull silly faces and go “boo”

Wheres your evidence she did?

I believe her when she said she was doing yoga. I have no reason to disbelieve her.

I don't know what JFC is.
You mean that she DID do yoga? That's what she says. Others said she did cartwheels so without a video is her word against theirs isn't it?
I find neither to be normal.

As I have said, this has nothing to do with whether she's guilty or not and I recognise that she is innocent and don't blame her for making money from documentaries.

Yes Meredith was a victim here, but so was Amanda - and her boyfriend at the time - just in a different way.

The case was outrageous and I can't imagine what she has been through. I don't think she can make enough money out of this to make up for everything tbh.

I don't know much about Italy, but, even in the UK, the criminal justice system is really punishing for wrongly accused people. It's not unknown to be totally bankrupted by defence costs, only a tiny part of which can be recouped after a not guilty verdict.

Add that to the other life-ruining effects (loss of jobs, family, professional credentials, relationships etc) and, as far as I'm concerned, anyone who's been through it is welcome to make as much money, and as much of a song and dance about it, as they like.

The evidence is - people in the police station with her , said that they saw her doing cartwheels.

Because you can’t prove a negative.

Show me the evidence and I’ll apologise.

What do you actually think she might have known? Or is it just vague musings without being prepared to take responsibility for cheering on a miscarriage of justice.

Maybe she did behave inappropriately given the circumstances, and maybe she wasn’t really Meredith’s friend, they had only known each other 6 weeks, maybe they were flatmates instead of friends.

It really sounds like you want to be able to label her as “Somehow A Bit Guilty” so that you can avoid accepting that you thought she was guilty, and were 100% wrong.

Throughout what?

Do you trust the media and deeply corrupt police in this case?

The media weren’t in the police station FYI

Well people are saying she was doing yoga so that would be a 'positive' wouldn't it? They could still provide a video. I would stiff find that odd and also irrelevant to her innocence.

Amanda knox is definitely a bit odd and OTT.

But in my opinion, she was not a murderer

I don’t think she did. There was too much hatred and bias against her for me to believe any claims like that.

but hypothetically even if she did - so what?

Perhaps not doing cartwheels or the splits at the police station. Not sitting on her boyfriend's lap and embracing him.
I think a lot of people perhaps wouldn't behave logically or sensibly, but you have to admit, that's odd and perhaps indicated a problem.
Added: sorry, I have just realised that I have cross posted about the behaviour at the police station.
Apologies.

Italian police who swore under oath in court?

Chief Superintendant Giacinto Profazio’s Testimony
According to official trial records, during the original proceedings, Chief Superintendant Giacinto Profazio testified:

“In the police station, she turned a cartwheel and did the splits.”

Yep.

Yes I agree. If people disagree with AK making money on the back of the tragedy that was Meridith's murder, they should direct their distaste at the justice system who fucked her over so immensely

Well yes, it doesn't change whether she was guilty or not.
However, there were witnesses who said she did. They may be wrong, but those of us who mention it can't be called liars and asked to prove it.

So what?

Because how a person acts after a death, has identified a killer in many cases.

That is why people looked at Amanda's behaviour after merediths death.

I wouldnt do cartwheels in a police station after my room mate was murdered
