Amanda Knox tried for the murder of Meredith Kercher in Italy *NEW TRIAL*#9

[TorisMom003]

No it's not. He is talking about the link to the Meredith Kercher fund.

Clearly the Kerchers do not like AK linking to it.

Is that an assumption that he is referring to the link leading to the Kercher site or is that a fact? If it is a fact can you please post the link showing that he meant what is being stated.

What I said is that, in my opinion,the lawyer for Meredith Kercher wants to delineate that Meredith was nothing like Knox. In order to demonstrate the difference, the obvious example comes from Knox's eagerness to have sex with strangers. Knox does not have the same moral character as Meredith.

I'm sure that Knox's lawyers will attempt to portray her, once again, as an Amelie Bambi. Meredith's lawyer is making sure that such a portrayal includes Amelie Bambi that had sex with strangers on the train (suddenly Dr Suess comes to mind ... Green Eggs and Ham).

I realize that I am being a bit picky, but Maresca is not Meredith Kercher's lawyer. I know that newspapers have a habit of saying that, but it is truly innacurate. He is the lawyer for her parents and siblings, with the exception of her sister Stephanie, whose lawyer is Perna. (I think? that is the lawyer's name.)

I assume you will ask me for proof, so I will direct you to one of the many court documents. Here is Amanda Knox's translation-in-progress of the Supreme Court's report. You will see that Maresca has filed on behalf of the listed family members.

I believe the second lawyer, Fabiani, filed on behalf of Stephanie in place of Perna. perhaps a partner?

I have posted his quote. It's clear what he says.

Wrong. I checked that site today and posted that the links to the Meredith Kercher Fund and the Raffeale Sollecito Fund where posted there. In fact I just checked and they are STILL there. They are listed on the bottom of the Meredith Kercher Murder page.

When I just checked they were back up. I swear they were gone earlier.

 

[aa9511]

Just for the record:

I had posted many hours ago, asking

if Maresca's tactics might not backfire, making the lay judges more open to the defense. :tantrum:

With all due respect, it has just backfired on here by online posters.

We have zeroed in on one thing and debated it the whole day.

I doubt the judges/jury are emphasizing that point to this magnitude.

Too bad for them. That's how the internet works. And if Maresca suggests Amanda collects money in Meredith's name it's a blatant lie.

The site belongs to the Kerchers and it's them who collect the money via the pay pal link and so on.

That is a slippery road that the lawyer is wanting to lead folks down. Meredith and Amanda were alike in some aspects. Now should Amanda's lawyers remind the court how they were alike? And if Amanda's lawyers do that for the courts benefit will those against Amanda claim that it is smearing the victim's name and memory?

Meredith is a murder victim. Knox is convicted for her murder. They have nothing in common.

Furthermore, Meredith was an Erasmus student studying at the University. Knox was taking a gap year where she was attending a language class in Italy. Meredith had broken up with her boyfriend and was getting to know an Italian man, whom she was dating. Knox claimed that she still had a boyfriend in Seattle and that she was cheating on him, and she was sleeping with random strangers if they gave her a joint. There was nothing in common between the two, which is further evidenced by the fact that Meredith had distanced herself from there Seattle roommate.

What was proven false?

There is nothing false about the statements presented by the lawyer for Meredith Kercher today.

otto: It's the Daily Mail. I think we all know what to expect from that source.

That's interesting, if she is guilty you still feel sorry for her? Do you feel sorry for all killers (they must pretty much all have some type of dysfunctional past/personality disorder, or family dysfunction, mental problems, and etc., etc.), or is it just Amanda?

Yes, that's pretty much what I meant. I would never want to be a murderer, and I assume most people wouldn't want to, and those who do usually have had some kind of personality disorder or dysfunction to become one. But that doesn't mean I do not feel Amanda should be held accountable if guilty.

 

[TorisMom003]

I have posted his quote. It's clear what he says.

And what he said is false. It does not request that her supporters donate to the Meredith Kercher Fund. The following is what it says on the site:

DONATIONS

The Meredith Kercher Fund: In support of the Kercher family.

The Raffaele Sollecito Fund: In support of Raffaele and his family.

The Amanda Knox Defense Fund: In support of my family and me as we continue to seek justice in Italy.


There is nothing asking for donations. Instead it is simply there if someone wishes to donate.

 

[Amber29]

You are right.

It's sad that Amanda would go against the Kerchers wishes.

Even if she wasn't clear before that they dislike it, she should be now.

Her keeping it there speaks volumes of her character.

They have very clearly spoken out about their feelings for her.

It has no relevance whether Amanda and Meredith were as alike as two peas, or chalk and cheese. Her lawyer, as you are tacitly admitting, is playing madonnas and for the purpose of prejudicing anyone who shares his misogynist view of women against the defendant. And furthermore, he is doing it in a very disingenuous way by describing this supposedly immoral behaviour as "extreme sex" which suggests that Amanda's sex life involved something sadistic, or something else which would predispose her to collude in a rape and murder. Amanda's sexual history shows no such experiences, so that is almost another bare faced lie from the Kercher's financially motivated lawyer.

As I have said, I believe that the lawyer for Meredith Kercher wants to create a barrier between Meredith and her convicted murderer. He wants the court to recognize that Meredith was nothing like Knox. Is there something wrong with that? Just be thankful he didn't mention her nasty short stories!

Re: "financially motivated lawyer" ... sounds a bit like shooting the messenger.

Amanda won her appeal, remember?

Does one really need to be reminded of how Meredith and Amanda were alike? It isn't difficult to figure out really. Perhaps one should remember the downstairs boys and what they had growing in their cottage. Something that Meredith herself partook of.

Continue to read what ever into his words to justify calling him a liar.

Is it unfathomable that they don't want money solicited by the person they think killed their daughter?

 

[aa9511]

Iif this is the website you are referring to then both Merideth and Raffeales links have been removed since last night when I viewed it.

http://www.amandaknox.com/

It's on the bottom of the "Meredith Kercher Murder" page, that was pointed out to me by, I believe TorisMom.

You mean,

I like them
in a house. I like them with a mouse I like them
here or there. I like them
anywhere. Amanda-I-am .... Just kidding about your Green Eggs and Ham reference!! Kidding aside, though,

as much as Maresca may have been trying to make some juxtaposition, I do believe that "extreme sexual experience" would include, as another poster here stated, bondage, sadism, masochism, rape, group sex, etc. Even your own daughter "laughed at Amanda's stupidity" and did not gasp at the horror or the depravity.

Which is why if she is guilty, it likely stems NOT from sexual depravity (she was pretty clearly a novice) but from some latent psychosis, brought to the surface by drug and alcohol abuse fused with some transference. MOO:moo:

Re: "financially motivated lawyer" ... sounds a bit like shooting the messenger.

Its an accurate description of Maresca, unless you can show me a link that he isn't claiming a multi million euro payout from the defendants. Or show me that he has any hope of getting it if Guede is the only one left convicted.

And yes there is something wrong with his so called attempts to "create a barrier between Meredith and Amanda." As I've already pointed out it is both irrelevant to the subject of guilt and innocence and also very disingenuous.

Yes, I went back and it was back on there but I swear it was gone earlier. Maybe I need a nap.

 

[redheadedgal]

Knox did say that she was there and we know from Knox's own book that she discussed her eagerness to have hook ups. Some people view that as "extreme sexual experiences"

a one night stand is now an "extreme sexual experience"??

please post a link affirming agreement w/ the above.
