Killed because she did not want to participate in a violent orgy - Amanda Knox convicted

Kercher Meredith
Well according to this story, she is luckily going back to her cell that she has been in for the last 2 years. On the other hand, he is going into solitary confinement in the sex offender wing of a different prison. What it does say is that with good behaviour, she could get out in 15 years. I would think he probably has the same option with good behaviour. Also, the appeal would likely be held in the 2nd half of next year.

Apparently, Mrs. Clinton will study the case and possibly get involved:
QUOTE WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she hasn't had a chance to look into the case of the American college student in Italy who was found guilty of murdering her British roommate.
Amanda Knox of Seattle was sentenced Friday to 26 years in prison after a yearlong trial. Her co-defendant and former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, was sentenced to 25 years.
Knox's family insists she's innocent of murdering Meredith Kercher in November 2007. They described the case as character assassination. They plan to appeal.
Sen. Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from Washington state, has said she plans to bring her concerns to Clinton, and has already approached the Italian embassy in Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Ambassador in Rome.
"I am saddened by the verdict and I have serious questions about the Italian justice system and whether anti-Americanism tainted this trial," Cantwell said in a statement on Friday.
"The prosecution did not present enough evidence for an impartial jury to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Ms. Knox was guilty. Italian jurors were not sequestered and were allowed to view highly negative news coverage about Ms. Knox. Other flaws in the Italian justice system on display in this case included the harsh treatment of Ms. Knox following her arrest; negligent handling of evidence by investigators; and pending charges of misconduct against one of the prosecutors stemming from another murder trial," Cantwell said...

Well, her bloody footprints of a room she claimed not to have been in coupled with her multiple changing stories of where she was and what she did know put her in a bad light. I would agree that maybe a US jury might stretch the meaning of reasonable doubt, but I do think that if this were are jury in the US...the case wouldnt be that big of a deal and she would be found guilty as well (her foreign status and sex made her a celeb in Italy...wouldnt work here in the US). I think they got the right people, but we may never know exactly how she was killed and that doesnt really matter.
I wouldnt hold my breath on Clinton doing anything. If they were going to get involved, they already would have done it. The US doesnt like other countries complaining about foreigners going through our judicial system and we respect other countries rights as well. A few years back an American kid in Singapore got caned for vandalism. The government did plead on his behalf, but the end result was the sentence was reduced from 6 to 4 strokes of the cane. The US government was in on this throughout the case. With Knox, as Clinton said...she "has been busy" and no one in the US government wasnt to get involved with this case.
