Must just be Portugal. I have been to Italy and other European countries numerous times over the years and have not experienced anything negative at all.

I honestly believe the European anti-americanism is a bit of a fantasy. I was stationed in Germany for three years and traveled to numerous other European countries, and very rarely were people unpleasant to me and I never hid I was American.

If I were Amanda Knox, I too would fight every step of the way as much as I could to avoid extradition. Why would anyone want to be in prison especially if they didn't commit a crime? She is fully justified in fighting any extradition.

BTW, being stupid and/or narcissistic and/or unlikable is not a crime nor is it evidence showing guilt or innocence.

This case is nothing like CA or JA or JVS.

Nothing has changed in Amanda's choice of words and how she says things.
This line stands out to me

" The evidence and accusatory theory do not justify a guilty verdict beyond a reasonable doubt. Rather, nothing has changed. There has always been a marked lack of evidence.

What innocent person says this? Why not simply say there's no evidence because I'm completely innocent, instead she says they couldn't prove their case BARD in her opinion. Blows my mind the things she continues to say.
Sounds alot like Casey Anthony and Jodi Arias, huh?

"Police reportedly found Sollecito with his girlfriend in a hotel in Venzone, about 40km (24 miles) from the border, in the early hours of Friday."

"Venzone is 322km from Florence."

Just a weekend getaway for Sollecito eh? Suuure.

It's interesting that you also noticed something in the tone of her voice as "forced", as that is the same impression I had. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it seems forceful and hard. I noticed it in her 5 day pre-verdict interview. The tone was grating on me in a way that I couldn't get past the first couple of minutes. The words are like word salad. She has always written (see short stories) and spoken word salad, almost like she thinks that putting big words together will make it seem like she's sophisticated, but instead it strikes me as confusing and incoherent. Sometimes, less is more.
Casey Anthony and Jodi Arias talk like that too, using big words that make no sense in context.

Amanda is an odd duck. She is not comfortable speaking. That is obvious.

I think this will be reversed again. This court had nothing new and nothing more than the Appeals court when it found her and RS not guilty.

In her post-verdict statement, she claims that she expected better from the Italian justice system, but in her email to the court, she stated that she did not trust the court to find overturn her guilty verdict. Which is it: she expected better, or she expected a guilty verdict? Knox says whatever is convenient at the moment.
What she really expected, but knew better- which is why she didn't go back to Italy- was for them to let her get away with murder.

Where are the recordings of the interrogations of Knox? You know, the ones everyone seems to be quoting from?

No they probably won't be rude to your face, but there is a discernible difference. I've heard loads of talk about the US as a nation tht would definitely not be said to a US tourist one doesn't know well.

I really am disturbed the way the reporter in that article stated this about Americans:

"That is how this story has unfolded. A European country convicts an American. The American watches the verdict in live streaming and then protests in a series of coordinated appearances… the whole thing chronicled in real time as if the murder of Briton Meredith Kercher were some sort of twisted reality show, not a heinous crime being tried in a serious European court of law.

Frankly, it makes a mockery of the Italian magistrates who professionally managed this appeal, and who regularly risk their lives prosecuting the mafia in that very same courtroom. Has American arrogance ever been so bold? Have the western media ever been so complicit in such an orchestrated public relations sham?"

They should look at how they dogged Princess Diana and the way their media caused her death.
They have some nerve.
And what does the Mafia have to do with this anyway? "Risk their lives"??
So this makes the magistrates infallible?
I don't know if AK is guilty or not, but the law should follow "the Law", no matter, and not the consensus of the people in the media.
Pfttttttttt.
I totally agree with this post!!!

I thought she seemed perfectly comfortable speaking on the morning show today. She's obviously upset, but she did not seem nervous to be in front of cameras, wasn't struggling to get her point across.

Maybe I didn't notice but - did she once ever say "I didn't do this"? Or was it just "I was found innocent of this before!"?

I'm reading a few links that say extraditing her is already in the works, S has been picked up near a border, dk if he was trying to abscond. I guess he is now in custody. Amanda should be as well.
Thanks for this news, it makes my day. So happy to hear this!!!:loveyou::loveyou::loveyou:

Reporters should report the news and not their "opinions", IMO.
It's not their opinion, I've been seeing this attitude towards her here and on Facebook. She's even got Ryan Ferguson who was recently freed after serving 10 years for a wrongful conviction championing her case. It's all still about the <modsnip> on American. I've gotten into fights with my own husband about it because her looks and interviews swayed him, And he doesn't know the case half as well as I do.

If the US is going to extradite her, which I fully believe will happen, is there anywhere she could go that would let her stay there if the whole world knows that she has been found guilty of murder in Italy.
WA state should lock her up until the Italians come to pick her up.:twocents::jail::jail::jail:

Let's not forget what ALL she was found guilty of.....

Guilty of murder, carrying a concealed weapon, sexual assault, simulating a crime scene and slandering Patrick Lumumba.

I don't see why they should wait for extradition. Start the process now and at least have her detained in the U.S. until the proceedings.:please::please:
