oh i see

another run-of-the-mill murder blown way out of proportion because it involved a relatively attractive young white female college student studying abroad

It's sad that any sort of murder can be classified as "run of the mill". I'm not disagreeing, I'm just saying it's sad that it's been trivialized that much.

it's not so much that it's trivialized, it's just that there's nothing any more news worthy about this one other than the fact that a semi attractive girl did it, rather than some random thug

oh i agree totally, i'm just saying that if it was a 45-year-old pasty insurance salesman who committed the murder there's no way it would make national news, let alone international news

The biggest thing about Amanda Knox was the bizarre way she was acting during the entire trial.

She'll get let go. Italy's judicial system is a joke and they fucked this trial up pretty bad. The prosecutor leaked his theories to the media before the trial even started. Then he couldn't substantiate any of the information he leaked but by that time, she had gotten such a bad reputation because of the paparazzi, the jurors already had their minds made up and despite the prosecutors theories being proven wrong they still found her guilty.

It's not newsworthy because she's an attractive girl, it's newsworthy because it's a testament to how fucked up the Italian judicial system is.

Like I said, some U.S. senator will get involved and she'll probably be out to catch the last season of Lost.

The prosecutor iirc is also under investigation for fabricating evidence and other issues over the past 5-8 years. Even is she is let go though, it will be years from now I bet.

I got an updated while I was watching some show and I was like who the fuck is this girl. I tune in to CNN and am instantly reminded of why I never check CNN anymore.

Who cares. Brin is right. Cute little blonde...OMG that could be anyone!

It just reinforces my argument that there are plenty of places to vacation in America.
