What the police were telling her that he said they just made up to try and get her to admit a crime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-668178 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 12:31:25 +0000 stargal 668178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: ive never really seen her sell her story. but honestly if she did i dont blame her. her parents spent over one million dollars aiding her defense, they spent all their retirement, etc....i would wnat ot pay my parents back.... plus she has a notorous name now, which will mkae getting a job much harder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-667216 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 07:36:12 +0000 boiledpnut 667216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless we've been in the situation, none of us really know how we'd act or what we'd do. Poor behavior doesn't make a person guilty. I think she's innocent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-667192 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 07:07:39 +0000 mrbee 667192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: that's a widespread belief... that only guilty people confess to crimes. Great article on it here:<br /> <a href="http://nymag.com/news/crimelaw/68715/" rel="nofollow">http://nymag.com/news/crimelaw/68715/</a></p> <p>Lots of convictions from confessions have been overturned by DNA evidence... it's pretty amazing how often it happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-667188 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 07:02:20 +0000 MrsSCB 667188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: I'm not really sure it's fair to say that all she's been doing is selling her story. It seems like she's kept a pretty low profile since returning to the states until recently. Yes, she's scheduled to speak to Diane Sawyer soon, but she won't get paid for that. And she is releasing a book, but I don't really fault her for that because it might be hard for her to get a normal job considering her notoriety. She has to make money somehow. I guess I just can't really say what I'd do in her situation, but I don't think I've seen all that much of her over the last year or so since she was released. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-667178 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 06:55:59 +0000 MrsSCB 667178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septemberlove: Amen. There is no physical evidence and there are no witnesses to place her there. I still am not 100 percent sure of her guilt or innocence but there is simply not enough evidence for me to believe that a conviction would be fair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-667172 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 06:51:41 +0000 sea_bass 667172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: Massive + 1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-667162 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 06:33:07 +0000 lomom 667162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if she's guilty or not but I don't see her ever getting a fair trial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-667138 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 06:03:00 +0000 Shutterbug 667138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well it looks like they overturned her acquittal... <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/26/world/europe/italy-amanda-knox-case/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/26/world/europe/italy-amanda-knox-case/index.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-666590 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 17:56:28 +0000 Pink Champagne 666590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't care how long you berate me, I would NEVER confess to a crime I didn't commit. That, plus the changing stories and the lies... I have always felt she had some involvement (and I am American AND I live in Seattle). I haven't heard what's going on now with the possibility of the retrial, but I hope for that poor Meredith's sake that they found some new evidence that leads to SOMEONE going to jail for her murder. I have never, ever felt sorry for Amanda, but I sure always did feel sad for her family.<br /> I also think if you were innocent, you'd want to go back to living some semblance of a normal life, and all Amanda has done is try to profit from the whole thing by selling her story. Disgusting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-666557 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 17:39:02 +0000 Turd Ferguson 666557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with some of the PPs that said maybe she didn't "do the deed," but I think she definitely played a part in it... Again, as stated, her behavior just seemed...off... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-666545 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 17:34:22 +0000 BSB 666545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Living in Seattle, I heard people around here were really excited that she was found innocent. </p> <p>I don't really have an opinion. I think I followed the story for about a couple weeks. Now, I don't remember which story this was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-666460 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:53:25 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 666460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have some mutual friends and everyone in her circle is pretty much in the camp that she is 100% innocent (obviously).</p> <p>I am not sure. I don't think she did the killing but maybe she was present? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-666408 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:27:57 +0000 MrsSCB 666408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: I don't know, I think her odd behavior was covered pretty extensively here in the US. At least I remember hearing about it a lot. I also haven't really gotten the feeling that people here overwhelmingly believe in her innocence, although I think the population probably does lean that way.</p> <p>That being said, personally I'm not very convinced either way. I feel like there are details to suggest both innocence and guilt. At the very least, for me there is enough reasonable doubt that I don't believe she should be convicted. I realize the laws of conviction in Italy are probably different, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-666357 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:08:08 +0000 JerricaBenton 666357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not guilty in my opinion. She was terribly manipulated by the Italian authorities. If you describe her behavior after the crime I can understand why someone would think it points to guilt but you have to remember, she was so young and having all this fun studying abroad, had a new Italian boyfriend she still wanted to spend time with, and honestly she barely knew Kircher. I'm not saying it was kind, adult behavior but I don't think kissing her boyfriend or doing a cartwheel means a girl with no criminal past is a murderer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-666090 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:31:52 +0000 Maysprout 666090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not guilty. The police seemed pretty manipulative and more interested in getting a good story than do any real investigating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-666052 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:16:50 +0000 HabesBabe 666052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: I'm American and I think she's guilty-- not sure if she was the main perpetrator or involved in another way, but I don't think she's innocent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-666036 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:11:16 +0000 hcw718 666036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I must have missed this.

So in theory could this go on forever? As in every decision could be appealed?</p> <p>@sea_bass: interesting point. She did appear to act really strangely.</p> <p> I don't think she was the one who killed Meredith, but I think she knows more than she lets on and maybe had some involvement... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-665789 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:54:30 +0000 fairy 665789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My gut says guilty - her behavior was really strange. But seeming guilty doesn't always mean guilty, and if the courts couldn't prove it, then she shouldn't have to keep being retrialed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-665704 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:33:57 +0000 stargal 665704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I was so mad she was convicted the first time. I use to follow the case closely. The USA will never extradite her under Italian court system and its flaws in this case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-665686 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:29:28 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 665686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think she is guilty either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-665682 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:28:36 +0000 Shutterbug 665682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This whole case is just so surreal. I never thought she was guilty, and I think about how easily that could have been any college kid on a semester abroad. I also feel like maybe my (US) media coverage has been biased, but to me it was always so clear that the other guy Rudy Guede was the murderer alone.</p> <p>ETA: I do think her behavior after the murder was strange, and she probably does have some narcissistic mental issues and was super immature, but I don't think that reacting in the wrong way makes you guilty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-665677 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:27:16 +0000 wheres_c 665677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't thnk she is but I think her bf might have done it.<br /> Who knows? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-665669 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:24:53 +0000 winniebee 665669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to go out on a limb and say I don't think she's innocent (and I'm an American). I don't she necessarily did the stabbing, but I think she was there in participated. Something about her is just not right and she did not act the way an uninvolved person acts following the murder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-665664 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:23:04 +0000 sea_bass 665664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its funny... I have never met an American who thought she was guilty... And I have never met a British person who thought she was innocent. </p> <p>I think the media coverage here may have been very different. It endlessly showed her reaction to the murder in the hours after it. It was truly sickening. </p> <p>If she is not guilty she has major mental problems. Cartwheels and making out with your boyfriend moments after your supposed friend and room mate was molested and slaughtered in your house? Sick. </p> <p>As I said, the perception of her here is very different. </p> <p>I don't think there is anyway she will be going back there for trial, so its a moot point really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-665648 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:16:07 +0000 loveisstrange 665648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: Its entirely possible the US could refuse to extradite her because of double jeopardy. Plus, they would have to show clear evidence of guilt and the evidence in the case was all contaminated and circumstantial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-665640 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:13:14 +0000 Arden 665640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: But the United States won't extradite, will it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amanda-knox#post-665638 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:12:29 +0000 loveisstrange 665638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Nope. Their legal system is... odd. </p>
