Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito. I mean, they were both convicted (again) weren't they?
The media are obsessed with her, everyone's heard of her. Can't really say the same about him though.. Why?

Because it's unusual to have a young, American, attractive woman stand trial for murder.

It's unusual for a young Italian man to stand trial for murder to though.

how strange. what evidence do they have?

VampyreofTimeandMemory · 30/01/2014 22:12

just read what evidence it is. I thought those things would be classed as circumstantial evidence though.

Because nothing rhymes with 'Sollecito'? 'Foxy Knoxy' had the media in a total spin from the get go. A female 'murderer', no less young and pretty, sells more papers. Sad, but true.

My heart still breaks for Meredith. Her family have remained so dignified in the midst of the circus that has been trial after trial, with so few answers.

i can't believe a Court could convict anyone with so little real evidence! dodgy.
