Amanda Knox tried for the murder of Meredith Kercher in Italy *NEW TRIAL* #2

[Nova]

And does Bubbles sell lingerie? Most likely they do. Last thing that would be on my mind two days after my roommate is murdered!!

Wearing the same underwear for two or more days would be on MY mind! I don't care how many people had died.

1) And if she had, the anti-Knox crowd would be screaming about "blood money" and AK's "guilty conscience".

2) I'm not defending the false accusation of Lumumba, but even a cursory review of literature on coerced testimony explains it.

numbers above added by me

1) great point!

2) i posted about this a few weeks ago... <modsnip>.


nice to see you back here!!

But she was able to change underwear- she borrowed Raf's. Would you be buying sexy little thongs for Mr. Nova though two days after your roommate had been murdered???

John Douglas is in fact an expert, the guy who basically invented behavioral profiling. What upsets people is that he points out the problems in cases where they are emotionally invested.<modsnip> .

John Douglas had a very good reason to be skeptical about the prosecutions theory in this case. Amanda and Raffaele had no real motive to kill Meredith, and neither of them show signs of the kind of serious mental illness that drives a person without a motive to murder. The prosecution theory that smoking marijuana led to this evil deed is totally opposite of what science tells us about the effects of that drug.

Rudy on the other hand was associated with three known cases of breaking and entering in the month before Meredith was murdered. In all of these, entry was made via a window. An interrupted burglary leading to murder is an all too common event.

As I recall it, John Douglas was revered as the ultimate profiling expert here until he had the temerity to suggest the Ramseys were NOT involved in their daughter's death. Then he was suddenly deemed the Devil Incarnate!

I think he's wrong about the Ramseys, but that doesn't suddenly make him incompetent--especially when it comes to evaluating the DNA collection techniques in Perugia. "Profiling" wasn't even required.

no, i would not be buying sexy little thongs for my boyfriend... ever! :floorlaugh:

on a serious note, i find it so absurd that wanting clean underwear, regardless of style, has been made an issue. shm.

Amanda never recanted her lies about Patrick Lumumba while he was incarcerated. She knew the truth, but never told LE she had lied. During trial, instead of taking the opportunity to apologize, Amanda Knox during testimony just laughed at the question.

IMO, Amanda Knox was present when the crime was committed. She made several written and verbal statements with glaring contradictions such as hard phone record evidence verified by her Mother Edda.

Because it means sex was on her mind, rather than concern for her roommate. It shows guilty behavior- Jodi Arias, Casey Anthony, Scott Peterson, Scott Dyleski, and others had sex on their minds immediately after they killed too. Shows a sociopathic mindset only preoccupied with their own pleasure. She also said she'd "kill for a pizza"!!!

 

[redheadedgal]

wanting to wear clean underwear = wanting sex?

reaching, your honor.

sustained.

When it's sexy thong underwear, yes. There is no other reason to buy thong underwear.

:floorlaugh::floorlaugh: ABC's management and reporters need to go back to school for lessons in basic civics 101 !

Seriously ... they ought to be embarrassed by their ignorance calling this Knox's "Third Trial" -- it's an APPEAL !

Oh wait ... :doh: ... I forgot :doh: The PR firm is behind this "THIRD TRIAL" ... they are paid big bucks by Knox and Family so that the US media SPINS the story to favor Knox ...

Un-believable !

She was convicted and must pay him damages. How is it ok that she is not paying him?

I have no idea if it was the underwear, but the fact is that they were caught on camera and you could hear them literally say it. So yes, that is what they had on mind. And it is not the only time they showed that they couldn't care less about the death of Meredith. You can still see it in their interviews. It is all about me, myself, and I.

It wasn't merely buying the boutique lingerie. There is video of Amanda's behavior towards Raf while buying it.

There's also the e-mail Amanda CC'd to MANY of her 'closest friends' in Seattle immediately after the crime. She was irritated that she had to find a new place to live.

 

[TartLemon]

Amanda didn't even bother going to the memorial of the victim Meredith Kercher.

Patrick's café was closed. He went belly up. He could no longer afford to live in Perugia. He, his wife and young child were forced to leave the country and seek a life elsewhere. After causing this disruption to a man's life, is it reasonable to suggest that people would criticize Knox for paying her debt? I highly doubt it.

I think that most people assumed that the debt had been paid. The first we learned that it had not been paid was when Patrick arrived at the appeal hearing, asking again to be heard specifically due to the fact that he had not been paid. Because she has not paid the debt, he can be heard, it will be re-considered whether she accused Patrick in order to avoid exposing herself as a murderer, and Patrick can seek additional damages. Knox made a big mistake by ignoring her debt to Patrick.

John Douglas did not invent criminal profiling, and it is not all it's cracked up to be. This article is worth a read:

lol. Hey, now that I think about it, Patrick Lumumba should be thanking Amanda Knox! Think of all the well wishers who would have stopped by after she ruined his life! That he lost the cafe is probably his fault. Sweet selfless Amanda handed him a golden opportunity, and he blew it.

 

[A.D.A McCoy]

Yes, but that's been explained away in an earlier comment. Something about Russia. Amanda always has her reasons and is incapable of wrong doing, it seems.

 

[aa9511]

This isn't evidence but to me she looks guilty. She is not able to show any real emotion when it comes to the murder and Meredith. She looks angry when she says 'I wasn't there' as though we're not supposed to suspect her at all. When she talks about her family and herself oh do the genuine tears come rolling out.

Again, this isn't evidence but she has killer eyes. Just look at her photos post-murder. Her eyes are so strange.

bbm

I agree. I am still trying to figure out if her lack of emotion, almost anger like you said, talking about the murder is b/c she really has no feeling about it, or b/c she is mad at the whole situation for essentially ruining the past few years of her life. Kind of like the Jodi Arias anger that still rages on in her, blaming Travis for "ruining" her life? Except in Jodi's case we know 100% that she really did do it. If Amanda's innocent, I can kind of see how the anger at the situation would kind of shroud any kind of normal emotion. But if she's guilty, then that just shows what a cold-hearted person she is.
