Sometimes I wonder if some anti-American issues got into this trial, but probably not one that I was thinking of. I doubt the prosecutor even heard of the Fort Lawton incident during WWII, where Italian POWs were held.(The Army re-opened the case a few years ago, reversed a few convictions and upgraded discharges of the remaining soldiers to honorable). The African American soldiers accused of the murder, were accused of doing it out of jealousy, supposedly. They felt the POWs were getting better treatment than they were. Although I usually when I type the above info in a comment, then delete it, erring on the side of caution, and that it is a mere coincidence, and not relevant.

Look into this and research it. Two innocent people’s lives are being destroyed. Would you want to be convicted using a piece of Low-Copy number DNA “evidence”? Ask yourself that.

One concern on this case, is the appeal. Since Mingnini’s conviction, I heard one story on Ray Turner’s blog, that the list of those that have been sued for slander/defamation by Mignini has grown, to include Luciano Ghirga and Luca Maori. I wondered if that would affact the appeal, if the attorneys for Knox and Sollecito could handle that and being charged themselves, but then again, I remembered that Ms.Knox was convicted while the prosecutor was on trial himself. Probably just grandstanding by the prosecution.

Probably just have to wait and see how that happens. Also, Donald Trump’s idea of a boycott would not work these days, you can’t know what all was made in one place or another these days. Not to say that he should not do what he can, but for him, doing something behind the scenes probably would not happen.

There are so many things I can say about this case, but I will say just this… I can not for the life of me understand why and how this happened? How does a revered Prosecutor get a way with creating a cockamamie story and it hold up to a jury of respectable local judges and jurors? Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito just about killed Meredith Kercher or any one else, as much as my dog and I have had a philosophical conversation about his understanding of Kant.

It is overwhelming to think of innocent young people like Amanda and Raffaele sitting in prison for a horrific crime they did not commit. not only do I think about them and how awful this is for them and their families, but I feel enraged that the opportunity to have found Meredith’s killers was wasted by focusing on 2 innocent young people instead of performing an air tight investigation.

It’s absurd and despicable what has been done about this case and I sincerely hope Italy opens their eyes to see what this is doing to their infrastructure on a deep level…it’s just all too much!!

I await their appeal where I want to believe justice for innocent people will be avenged and a better investigation for the real killers might even begin….

My thoughts and heart is with all the people involved in the case, everyday…I can’t shake the complex elements that makes it up and keeps it going…

The relentless one-sidedness of the speculation about Amanda’s character and personality is very odd, even allowing for the venality of ‘sensationaistic’ (puerile) tabloid journalism – it doesn’t smell right to me.

Why has so liitle doubt, if not outright scepticism, been expressed about the asinine cod-psychology asserting that she exhibited “psychopathic traits”? By all verifiable accounts, easily found with even the most cursory research, Amanda Knox is exactly what she seems – a likeable, conscientious and (I’ll be honest) very pretty young woman who had never shown the slightest inclination to harm anyone, physically or otherwise.

Amanda’s appearence ALONE would normally have generated sympathy for her with a percentage of observers, even if there HAD been convincing evidence against her, but this just didn’t happen.

A precedent was set very early on (within days of her arrest in Nov 2007) by certain ‘prestigious’ organs of the press such as the Murdoch-owned (London) Times.

It seems as if a directive was issued AT PROPRIETER LEVEL to assign ‘columnists’, rather than reporters or journalists, to the story (i.e. Giuliano Mignini’s “narrative”) in their droves, ensuring it was covered by the kind of hacks who see fact-checking and research as the last thing they need to bother with, and who are inured to simply making sh*t up on the spot with impunity.

Note how little effort (none, basically) was made to correct or retract some of the numerous ‘errors’ and outright falsehoods reported. For example, the existence of receipts proving Amanda or Raffaele bought bleach early in the morning after the murder, reinforcing the (also false) “cleanup” allegation, or that Merediths blood had been found on the blade of the alleged murder weapon, etc’ – these and much else are STILL being widely quoted as fact.

Practically no effort has been made to clarify the outrageous and illegal methods used to extract her “partial confession” – almost ALL one read was pontification about “why did Knox lie?” or “why did Knox try to frame her boss?” etc’.

A comprehensive list of all of these “errors” would take pages to list. It’s extraordinary, and like I said, it JUST DOESN’T SMELL RIGHT.

Top-down manipulation of the MSM and hence people’s percerption to ENSURE conviction? (no – surely not!?)

Why? To accomplish exactly what it has – alienating a swathe of the population of the U.S from that of continental Europe, and vice versa, (and, of course, simply distracting them) at just the time a popular TRANSATLANTIC mandate is desperately needed to oppose the usual crew of “advisers” lobbying the U.S. administration to start a war with Iran (in effect, a war by the West on Islam).
