Thanks. I'd gotten the impression from this thread that her extradition was all but a done deal, so the additional insight is appreciated.
and the jury got the verdict wrong right?
another comment about "lingerie"?
would a female not want clean underwear? especially when it's "that time of the month"?

someone -i thought it was you- stated no police force would miss a staged break in... the pittsburgh case posted refuted this...
It's unfortunate that a mistake was made. It is still part of the job description for investigators to recognize a staged break in. That a mistake was made in Pittsburgh is not reason to conclude that investigators are not trained to recognize a staged break in.
yes, the US can keep him !!
how much dna was found on the clasp vs. on the purse? sweater?
was there dna of other males found on the purse or sweater, like the clasp?
So should she be convicted because she is white and pretty? They already let her out. Sounds to me like they have a mess of case.
They have a guy in prison with strong evidence against him.
I don't think they have anything beyond a reasonable doubt when it comes to her.
That is what I thought, so what is the excuse? He forgot that he is on trial for murder including travel restrictions?He did. He crossed the border into Austria. At 1AM police went to his hotel, woke him up, took him to the police station, and stamped his passport with No Exit.

I'm only on page 3 of the current thread, so please forgive me if I'm butting into a conversation with my opinion....
I've not followed the case closely, but I have read up on it in recent months. I still have a lot to learn. I've only seen a few interviews with Amanda, and I can honestly say that she comes across as very insincere. Granted, I don't know how I would react in front of a camera, but I feel like she feigns emotion (speaking like she's choked up but NOT a SINGLE tear), and I feel like she tries to use big words and sound...superior (for lack of a better word.)
Again, just my opinion, for what it's worth! Back to page 3 for this girl.....carry on!

Oh, please. Doesn't she have more pressing things to worry about?
Exactly. They've always had a mess of a case. I think as time goes on you will see more people really looking into both of the things that matter: 1) the evidence and 2) the very flawed trial process.
Without a shred of doubt if anyone here were accused of a crime not a one would think these procedures were appropriate or fair for themselves. No, we would want a lawyer. We would want to be questioned in their native language. We would not want evidence presented in the Guede trial, which they were not allowed to question or rebut to be then be used against them. We would insist on the highest standards and best practices in evidence collection and testing. We would want a change of venue due to insane pretrial publicity, and on and on. Yet some have no issue with someone else being convicted that way. I can't understand for the life of me the justification behind that line of thinking.

Um, no. This isn't a traffic ticket, it's an international murder case with national diplomatic considerations, and the defendant is her constituent. Many of her other constituents are pretty passionate about this case as well, so if she's there to do more than earn a paycheck, and is actually there to be the voice of her constituents, she's doing exactly what she needs to be doing.
I have to admit that for quite a while I viewed RS more as just going along with AK. With the things that have come to light in the last week or two my opinion of him has changed. And not for the better.
Also the big words could be because of overactive imagination....which she has an abudance of. I believe it is partly her imagination which has gotten her into this mess (creative idea for burglary prank.....creative idea of how to stage everything....creative idea of stories to tell....imagining herself to be innocent until she truly began to believe it.....imagining she has nothing to do with this and everybody is out to "get her"....imagining story for her defense....creative lines to memorize for her press appearances....imagining what an innocent person would say....and the list goes on and on....).
She's not even an Italian citizen, and they are giving her so many chances to defend herself on a crime which happened on their soil. She has had a fair trial - she had her chance to defend herself. It's not like they just locked her up in jail and threw the key away and everyone forgot about her (!!). She has had due process. All of the things above, her defense could have addressed, pre-trial and during the trial. They could have told the jury all of that stuff. It's not like she wasn't allowed to have her say in court or to defend herself.
