Good for you, ungrateful Amanda Knox!

8. Please give it up. The highest Court in Italy ruled that she was not just 'Not guilty' --

she was innocent, because of lack of evidence. (There was some FAKE evidence, including a coerced non-confession, put forward by an unethical prosecutor.)

In other words, the Court had the choice of a not-guilty verdict, or a positive verdict of innocence -- and that's what they unanimously decided on.

And it was the only verdict that could have made sense to anyone who examined all the evidence. All the physical evidence -- and there were dozens of pieces of it, blood and hair and fingerprint samples -- pointed to ONLY Rudy Guede, a friend of the men who lived in a downstairs apartment.

She was a 19 year old who was interrogated overnight without a lawyer, till she finally agreed with the prosecutor's story that she'd HEARD another man in the house with the victim. In reality she wasn't in the house that night at all (she was at her boyfriend's house) and she took back the non-confession (that the prosecutor insisted "put'" her in the house) within a few hours and said it wasn't true.

It kills me that this innocent person has to go through life with this shadow over her. That four years of false imprisonment in a foreign country wasn't enough. That some people will always condemn her in their minds.

No one in Seattle who has ever known her has one iota of doubt. All her teachers and the students in her high school never wavered in their support. I don't know her personally, but I know people who do. And to hear otherwise thoughtful people still expressing suspicions about her is so discouraging. It shows the dark side of human nature -- but not of Amanda's.
