I have to admit I bought the hype first time around.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I paid little attention to this, but I did see a recent interview with Knox. My gut feeling was that she is guilty.

she had a publicity machine that was pretty good. i thinks shes not only guilty but she tried to hang it on her boss . he was lucky he could prove his innocence. and she admits to wrongfully naming him"cause she was scared"

extradition  ???

Zero extradition. U.S. won't on any grounds or trials that are unconstitutional. This one being simple double-jeopardy.

I feel bad for Kercher's family, but frankly, the kangaroo court third world freakshow that is "Italian Justice", the alternately three stooges then abusive police, and incompetent amateur-hour mistakes in basic scientific procedure and chain of custody in evidence by the forensics people is the much larger issue now. Italy's criminal justice system is an embarrassment to Italy, Europe, and Western Civ in general.

Even if she did do it, Italy essentially went to court with what amounts to a frame job to convict her.

I wouldn't turn *expletive deleted*ing Charles Manson over to them.

This is the same Italy that convicted a scientist because he failed to predict an earthquake-

 The Italian court system is weird, even by US standards.

What he said.

She could be guilty as sin or innocent as a bird, I really don't care.
The soap opera aspect is as annoying as hell and the Italian court is koo koo for co co puffs.
Hell, actual soap opera's are better scripted, researched and acted out, which is really saying something.

Thank you! I was trying to remember that one.

Any bets on Obama's "justice" dept. finding a way to give her to Italy?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Only if she becomes a conservative activist... and somehow I doubt that happening.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Her biggest cheerleader has been the American media. As the American media is rarely ever right on anything, my first notion was that she must be guilty.  :laugh:

That's Anna Chapman. Russian Spy.

Not Amanda Knox, convicted (by a kangaroo court!) murderess.

Since Amanda lives here in Seattle, suffice it to say that her story has gotten media coverage here up the wazoo for years.  The State Department has a pretty defined process for considering requests for extradition.  We have had a mutual extradition treaty with Italy for decades. If the Italians want her back, and we ever want to ask Italy to send a criminal convicted in American courts back, that is something that State takes into consideration: not just that case, but potential future cases.  The only real exception is that Italy, along with many other First World nations, will not extradite someone who faces the death penalty back in the country that wants them.

As for all the media attention, I think this is another case of cute middle class white girl rallies the troops to fight for her rights in a foreign land.  Italy has had a well-functioning court system for centuries before the USA did, and there are many aspects of the American justice system as practiced throughout the country that I would have a hard time defending to foreigners.

If she has half a brain she'll be on her way to a non extradition country.  Write a book and live fat dumb and happy.
