How come I can't shake the feeling that this is a travesty.
What a circus.

What appals me is there will now be roundabout of TV appearances & interviews, a serialised newspaper story, a book and most likely a film. Granted a miscarriage of justice appears to now been corrected but as a result the fuelling of the media circus will be considered more important than the murder of a young girl. I would not be surprised if under the veil of”new innocence” new information comes to light despite the fact there have been god knows how may court cases & appeals. Is it just me or do the legal profession & the circling media sycophants now feel like some self-serving, self-fuelling and self-interested aberration of perpetual motion? Rant over….

Either way, it's a shocking indictment of the Italian legal system. It seems riddled with crooks. I must make sure not to get murdered in Italy.

I don't think she did do it. The whole thing says a lot about the Italian establishment's view of women (Berlusconi is in charge ffs). No-one will really know the truth but that other guy probably murdered her on his own and maybe the other two thought they'd get done for drugs or something. It's a shame for the victim's family though because now they think maybe someone's got away with it and don't have closure.

I didn't really follow the original case though I do remember it. What is it that makes this a travesty? From what i have read this morning, there was very little empirical evidence to suggest that either of them did it. It seems that all the found was a minute piece of Kercher's DNA on a knife found in Knox's flat and that was therefore supposed to be the murder weapon. And even that evidence was rubbished by the science people who said that the DNA was retrieved using an unrecognized and unreliable technique. And let's be honest, if it WAS the murder weapon, then there would be more than just minute traces of DNA on it. You can't murder someone by lightly brushing a knife through the victim's hair.
And then there's all this crap about Knox being a party girl, into sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. Jaysus, if that makes someone a murderer then they'd have a fecking field day on me and probably many others on this forum as well.
Sounds to me like a wrong has been righted and this poor girl can now return and try to build a semblance of a normal life, which is more than she deserves. And i hope she is adequately compensated for being framed by a bunch of corrupt bastards.

Sounds to me like the Eyeties had watched too many CSIs but missed the point that the interpretation of evidence describes the crime - not the other way round FFS.
Complete waste of time and money. No wonder their economy is up shit creek. Still, Italy remains the most beautiful country in the world - after Britain.

Just have to look at the evidence that is available to see that of the 3 people charged, between them they know what happened. Had the Italian police done their job correctly from the second they got there, then the forensics wouldn't have been an issue.
Remember that Knox was found guilty of stitching up an innocent man, hardly the actions of someone innocent. Her and her boyfriend's alibi fell apart and they changed their stories several times. Wasn't the murder weapon found to be the boyfriend's as well? But because it took weeks to find, it was forensically unsafe.
Knox's bloody footprint found outside the window and a staged break in.
It's a shame that the US TV networks didn't put as much time and effort into Troy Davis' dodgy conviction. In all likelihood an innocent man was put to death there. In this case it looks like 2 people at least with a hand in Kercher's murder walk free.
And that is the worst thing out of this, that poor girl has been forgotten in the circus around a stage managed pair of (likely) killers.
Interesting that the Kercher family themselves were consistent in their belief that those responsible were in prison up until yesterday.

Thank you, I wanted somebody to set things out for me, it does seem damning from your view, I suspected as much when the American PR machine got into full swing. That only ever seems to happen when people are actually guilty (although not necessarily in this case you understand... looks around for lawyers and their minions :  |

Of course they were, it makes them feel better and gives them closure. I'm not knowledgable to know any more than anyone else but my gut feeling is that the correct decision has been reached. I think the Italian Police gave them a proper grilling at the beginning (because they had nothing else and were clueless), and they just said stuff after a while. Like Batts I'd be guilty as charged with regards to sex drugs and rock and roll, isn't that called going to University.

At the very least they were involved and know what happened on that day.
The Italian police followed up their investigation in light of the evidence found at scene. The mistakes are in their procedures not in their suspicions. How is the murder weapon explained?!
