Amanda Knox tried for the murder of Meredith Kercher in Italy *NEW TRIAL*#12

[Myvice]

You almost have to wonder if AK and RS think about the fact that RG's time will be up soon. He was able to maintain his innocence to the actual murder and didn't have to spend a fortune fighting.

I wonder if he will write his tell-all story when he gets out. You really don't hear much about him. I'm not sure I could buy it and support a murderer but it would be interesting to hear what he has to say when this is behind him.

There is overwhelming evidence that they are guilty. I don't see how any jury could look at this evidence and come to any other conclusion. If they do, that's fine I will be wrong.

I also have no doubt that if the conviction is upheld, both Amanda and RS will do anything possible to avoid returning to prison, if that means living the rest of their lives as fugitives somewhre, I believe that is what they will do.

If it's overwhelming then why do so few people believe that and in fact have the complete opposite opinion?

Oh don't worry Otto, I'm sure she has already researched which countries DO NOT have extradition treaty with Italy.

Thing is, she has to get there before the arrest warrant is issued, because air space is as good as any when it comes to executing an arrest warrant.

I think as Guede has never admitted to any crime (still holds that he had consensual sexual activity with Meredith, and others killed her, and he tried to help her but didn't have a phone or the courage to call 112) he will remain silent on this matter for the rest of his life.

Yes, I'm sure you're right. He's been smart enough to say only what was necessary from the start.

Well, smart, but he certainly isn't very noble. I just think he is going to follow the same tack as he has for 6 years now. But it would be nice if he became a talker

I would like to pose a hypothetical question to all on this site who are convinced of or are leaning toward a guilty verdict for AK and RS. Assume that the current appeal verdict is, in fact, guilty. Suppose that AK and RS both agreed to take a lie detector test administered by an impartial company from a country NOT Italy or the USA (say maybe England). Then suppose they both passed with flying colors. Would that change your mind? Would it change public opinion? And, if it did change public opinion, would that influence the ISC in the appeal that is bound to come to them?

More likely that he'll hurt or kill someone else IMO.

I can't speak for people on this forum but from things I've read elsewhere, there is a cult like belief in their guilt. Not even Guede confessing would change their minds. They'd just make another excuse for him like they've been doing for years.

Disclaimer: This does not apply to people posting on this forum and I look forward to reading any replies to Bills question.

I have no idea whether he will "talk" or not. Something tells me if I were in that position, and I managed to get out in a mere 16 or whatever years, I would wanna thank my lucky stars and keep my silence and just forget about the whole thing....move on with my life. But that's for people who aren't murderers, so I have no idea what will go through his mind when the time comes......

Also, we have to consider the money factor. He will be in need of money. I can see him selling his "story" for money, I can definately see him doing that. As for whether that "story" will be even partially the truth, who knows?

John Q Kelly, former prosecutor - Amanda Knox Railroaded. Modern Day Lynching - YouTube

What I see from that is a man who has not really looked at the case, does not know what the real evidence is, and has just been given "talking points" for his 5 minutes of fame.

Oooh...interesting.

I think it would give me some questions, for sure.

**Edit: but I will add, that the questions must be "difficult" sort of questions. Not necessarily difficult, but let me explain: Not easy-peasy. By easy-peasy, I mean the kind they get asked in interviews. If they are asked those kinds of questions for the lie-detector test, then no, it would not be worth anything for me. They would have to delve into the crime and details of what they told interrogators up until that point.

Ummm....well not speaking for anyone on this forum, but from things I've read elsewhere, Amanda and RS have a kind of cult-like following who would probably not change their minds even if they confess to the murder. They'd just make another excuse for them.

Do you know who John Q Kelly is?

 

[aa9511]

Do you know who John Q Kelly is?

Is he a defense attorney for Amanda Knox? Is he a prosecutor for Amanda Knox? Was he a member of the Italian jury? Did he collect evidence at Meredith Kercher's murder scene? Does he have any knowledge about the case other than the "talking points" which he said, which showed that he has no independent knowledge of this case?

 

[aa9511]

btw I'm not fond of idolizing any one expert....except for maybe Juan Martinez

Yea I would totally agree.

He's one of the most famous and well respected litigators in the United States. He doesn't put his reputation on the line talking about something he knows nothing about let alone declaring someone innocent who might be guilty. He's a pro victim attorney. Read his bio. You can always learn new things.

Do y'all mean that even if Rudy came out with a complete confession that he broke in and was solely responsible for Meredith's death, that you would not believe him? Would still see Amanda's and Raffaele's hands in it?
