Yesterday the Italian Supreme Court reversed Amanda Knox's acquital; in effect, giving her a double jeopardy situation.
Whatever were the facts in Perugia six years ago, I am convinced that in no way will she get a fair trial in Italy. The first attempt at trying her was a kangaroo court; and there is absolutely no reason that the dysfunctional Italian justice system will give her a fair hearing.
Does anything work very well there?
So, this is what I think should take place:
Italian courts: "We'd like to extradite Amanda Knox back into the tender mercies of our obviously fair and impartial judicial system."
The U.S.: "Fuck you!"
I doubt that she would get a fair trial too. They managed to turn it into a circus and convict her, despite the faulty DNA evidence. I hope she will beat it.
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments too, Elvis!
ReplyDeleteShe's suffered enough. I know that the UK seems to be arrayed against her.
ReplyDeleteI can't see a fair trial happening either.
ReplyDeleteLots of information on her and the trial in Wikipedia. Nothing indicates she should even think about going back there.
