Amanda Knox Discussion-Friendly Thread

  • #381
as someone new to this case, who has read just a few overviews, I have to ask... is there anything at all that points to knox and her bf being involved? anything that points to anything other than guede?

afaict, the police and/or prosecution jumped to conclusions early based on essentially nothing, interpreted evidence with confirmation bias, and then spent way too long clinging to a position they were invested in out of dumb pride or whatever.
Not a thing. Language differences (inexact translation) and Amanda's knowledge of only basic Italian were used against her, they didn't bring in a translator, and wouldn't let her talk to a lawyer when she asked for one. Then they created a theory of a sadistic orgy and bent over backwards to make any evidence fit the narrative, any time new ---- came to light.

I'm sorry but regardless of what happened..Amanda went to jail for slander and falsely identifying someone as a killer. Mig's suspicions of Amanda were not unfounded and I feel he deserves more credit than he gets, not only that this has been very hard on his reputation. I feel he gets a lot of criticism he doesn't deserve. His hinky meter was pinging on Amanda and hinky is his job!

mOO.
That in itself is an injustice. Who goes to jail for slander? As far as the murder goes, the suspicions being unfounded is one thing, not enough evidence to charge/convict of murder is another. Most homicide cases start with multiple persons of interest before the evidence leads them to the main suspects. There was never any evidence tying her to the murder. And yes, when you willfully ignore/invent evidence (he told MANY lies, WAY more than her), you're lucky if all you get is "criticism". He should be disbarred like Nifong. Why should I feel any sympathy for someone who kept a person he knew to be innocent in a cage for years, ruining their life? No, his job is JUSTICE, not simply finding someone to pin the murder on.

so improper interrogation caused Amanda to lie and say her boss murdered her roommate?

I'm sorry but you could mis-interrogate me all day long and I would not spit out a total fiction about someone I know. nope , not a chance..you can mis-interrogate me all day , starve me, hit me...go ahead..I'm not turning in a friend, boss, relative, acquaintance or even a dog...no way. mOO
If you are under pressure then yeah you might lie or say something you don't mean. When I'm stressed or upset I say things I 1000% don't mean or feel. Why do I say them then? I just assume the stress makes me so it. Not that this is a regular occurrence but every once in a while.

i would lawyer up immediately knowing what i know, but i also know for a fact that if i were younger/in a foreign place, i would fold IMMEDIATELY. that’s me totally honest and realistic with myself when it comes to these extremely high stress and aggressive situations. call me a wimp, maybe i’m not as brave as OP.
