Meredith Kercher murdered-Amanda Knox appeals conviction #21

[LinasK]

Yeah, that's exactly the behavior that caused me initially to believe she was guilty. But then, after I read much more about the case, the facts did not add up for me.

And I don't think she acted just like casey. casey's own baby was missing while she partied. A flatmate is a totally different thing. Also, casey never reported anything wrong with Caylee, her disappearance, nothing. Knox did call people.

I don't get Knox's behavior but I find it very, very different from that of a mother whose own child has disappeared.

So then, does Meredith deserve any less justice because she was the roommate rather than the daughter? What makes it okay to party after you've just been involved in a murder. The guy who killed Daniel Horowitz's wife also went right after and had sex. (Not trying to bait you, that's just what I'm getting from your post...)

Everyone seems to know what they would do in certain situations. Hopefully they will never have to find out. imo

Thank You.

No point in me discussing this further, I've not posted in the Knox thread for a long time now because no matter what points are made in relation to Amanda's lies some will always try and explain them away.

Not trying to be rude but I do find it interesting that that it is okay for Amanada to lie but not someone like Casey Anthony.

I respect that most here think she is innocent and are glad she is free, but I don't, I think she is guilty and I'm very sad for Meredith's family today.

I agree with that because for those who reason on behalf of AK, no matter what points are made to counter those who accuse her of lying, some will always try to insist that they are not valid and she's just a liar. For me, regardless of AK's innocence or guilty, I sympathize with the Kerchers, for no one's guilt makes up for MK's loss.

And... I'm sure you wouldn't have taken a shower in the victim's bathroom, bought sexy lingerie, had sex with your boyfriend, and done cartwheels in the police station, she acted just like Casey Anthony!!!:banghead::banghead::banghead:

I can assure you I would not

In fact in the last 5 years we have suffered more tragedy than most would see in a lifetime and no .... not once on hearing about another tragic loss of life did i do a cartwheel ... im positive i didnt ... I know i had to be picked up from the floor a few times but never as a result of a cartwheel

i think all are entitled to their opinion ive had a few snarky comments but havent attacked anyone or insulted them shame others cant accept i feel differently from them

If you don't think we bully or bribe (pay off), you must be a defense lawyer! I do not mean that as a slam, but your views are skewed! My husband was a victim of a violent crime so I realize my views are also skewed! I feel nothing for Amanda Knox, I care only for the victim's family!:twocents:

Nope, not a defense attorney. I could never defend child molesters or murderers.

And I do believe there is corruption but I really was asking if you felt that appeals court in the Knox case was paid off. I guess you do.

I don't. Based on the reasoning published from the trial, when she was found guilty, I see this as a seriously flawed case, with not only reasonable doubt but a conviction that was based on Knox being portrayed an apathetic, pot smoking *advertiser censored* which somehow translates to her brutally murdering and raping a flatmate, with the help of a boy she had met days earlier, neither she nor the boy having any psychiatric or criminal history, along with a drifter that no evidence showed the couple knew.

Forensics were not there or faulty. So that's why I think they were not paid off but instead, came to their decision based on a logical review of the evidence and the smear campaign.

I understand that many disagree and I don't fault you for that. I believed she was guilty at one time too. I understand the position. I;m just saying that using my lawyer brain and reviewing things I never knew about the case before, changed my opinion.

I am thrilled! So happy for Amanda! It's been a long time. Can hardly wait until her feet touch the Seattle soil! It has been a long time coming!

I hope she makes zillions on a book or movie deal. She deserves every penney!

 

[6angels]

Wow.

Well maybe her and Casey Anthony could become friends.

Her and Casey Anthony are nothing alike What a insult to Amanda. I've said from day one Amanda was innocent and until proven other wise I will always believe so. While I always thought Casey was guilty, she shows by her actions she is guilty. Amanda IMO shows by the way she handles herself that she IS innocent ( bc imo she IS).

Meredith got justice. The man who brutally killed her and left ALL of the forensic evidence behind is in jail.

It was her bathroom too, she bought a camisole and underwear after all her clothes were locked up by LE, so sex and cartwheels are what you're left with. Last I checked having sex with one's boyfriend isn't suspicious activity.

I agree with that because for those who reason on behalf of AK, no matter what points are made to counter those who accuse her of lying, some will always try to insist that they are not valid and she's just a liar. For me, regardless of AK's innocence or guilty, I sympathize with the Kerchers, for no one's guilt makes up for MK's loss.

One lie of hers that can't be disputed is that she threw an innocent man-Patrick L., under the bus. An innocent person doesn't do that. Casey Anthony also threw innocent people under the bus. I wish I could take away the Kercher's pain, but freeing two of Meredith's murderers is just going to re-open their wounds!

After being involved in a murder, it is! I don't believe the DNA evidence was corrupted, nor do I believe that she was wrongly convicted based on anything to do with Magnini's past. That's all the PR campaign from the Knox family.

 

[6angels]

IMO Meredith Kercher (RIP) is celebratinig in heaven tonight knowing her friend that was accussed but innocent is now let go. Her poor soul can now rest in peace knowing her friend that SHE loved can now try to heal from this horriable ordeal. Amandra lost her friend that night and her life as she knew it for something she didn't do. I can't imagine being accussed of something so horriable knowing you didnt do it and at the same time losing your friend. Meredith IMO was looking over her friend today.

No, she didn't because 2/3 of her murderers were set free today!!!:behindbar:behindbar:behindbar

All of our view are skewed by our personal experiences (thus my handle), and I'd say that yours is a reasonable one, given your terrible experience.

My own leads me to demand more from LE and Prosecutors than most people when someone is accused of a crime. When your loved one is used as an excuse to cage an innocent, you never trust the system again, or take guilt for granted.


That said, if anyone in the US State Dept intervened here, I highly doubt that it was Hillary Clinton, as she expressed a complete lack of interest in this case, and at any rate has had bigger issues to deal with lately.

Is she supposed to go without any underwear and stop showering because her flat mate was murdered by an intruder?

So then, does Meredith deserve any less justice because she was the roommate rather than the daughter? What makes it okay to party after you've just been involved in a murder. The guy who killed Daniel Horowitz's wife also went right after and had sex. (Not trying to bait you, that's just what I'm getting from your post...)

Absolutely not. You stated that she acted just like casey. I disagree. Apathy, having sex, doing cartwheels and buying lingerie in a case where one's roommate has been murdered is off to me but in no way implicates a person to the same degree as it would if the victim was a beloved relation, especially one's child.

Knox was a 20 year old girl who didn't love her roommate. They just roomed together. So her apathy, while bizarre, is not at all as troubling to me as the apathy shown by the mother of a child who had died or been kidnapped. So while it sparks red flags to me in the case of a 20 year old reacting to a roommate's murder, it is not simply not enough and can be explained away as the antics of an immature girl who doesn't understand tragedy or doesn't much care.

When it's someone's mom acting like that though, I don't need much more to believe the person is guilty. One is bizarre and off the other is diabolically abhorrent.

I still have never had a satisfactory explanation as to why three unrelated people, two of whom literally just met and neither having nay psychiatric or criminal backgrounds, and one of whom no connection to the other two was ever proved, would brutally rape and murder an innocent girl together.

In casey's case, the reason was clear to me. In this case, it makes no sense and the three doing this together defies reason. If it had been Knox implicated alone, I would have felt it much more plausible. But three? Under those conditions? Not knowing each other or having just met? :twocents:

 

[EGirl]

No, she didn't because 2/3 of her murderers were set free today!!!:behindbar:behindbar:behindbar

IMO it is unreasonable to think 3 relative strangers were in a pot induced frenzy (which doesn't happen) and decided to kill Meredith, spur of the moment.

Given that, I assume you believe Rudy, who left his prints and DNA is innocent?

 

[mentalsolstice]

I'm so glad justice prevailed today! Many best wishes to AK and RS and their families and friends. My hope for the Kerchers, is that they will hold memories of Meredith close to their hearts and they will keep her name and face in front of us so that we will never forget.

My prayers are also going out to the Kercher family today as they have had to relive this over and over and over and that's just not fair to them. If the legal system would of got it right from the get go they could of been healing much more then they have been allowed. All the lies that had been told about Amanda no wonder they thought she was guilty. it has to be hard for them to of once loved Amanda and then been told all the lies about her being guilty. I can't imagine how confused they are and how much this has all hurt them. I pray everynight for them and that they can some how some way start to heal and that they can see the truth and know the 100% truth one day. I guess noone really knows but their daughter but IMO the killer is in prision there and it was him and him alone. Gosh this case has messed up a lot of families and caused so much more hurt then that was needed. My prayers go out to all involved.
