Amanda Knox

The story of Amanda Knox has been widely publicized, but I am not very familiar with it. The article begins and immediately draws me in. Offering information about how Meredith was murdered and the details of her death I wasn’t to read more. Amanda Knox, Meredith’s roommate was sentenced to 26 years in an Italian prison for murder. Knox says when she came home Meredith’s door was closed, so she assumed she was asleep. She later returned with her boyfriend to investigate a burglary. According to the article the crime scene was severely damaged by the junior police who were the first to arrive on the scene.  On top of the scene being contaminated there was no evidence leading to Knox. Bloody finger and foot prints matched a 20 yr old they identified as Rudy. The police paint a picture of a psychotic when describing Knox. Knox unknowingly signed a confession and was sent to prison, along with her boyfriend. Later DNA evidence revealed it was NOT Knox, however, she remained in prison. The person whose prints they found admitted to being at the crime scene but says he didn’t commit the murder. Are you serious?!  They have absolutely no evidence on Knox or her boyfriend yet she remains in prison to try to not embarrass the Italian justice system. Aren’t they already embarrassed? They should be, they did not do one thing right in the entire case.  The article was quite lengthy and provided a great deal of information. It’s a sad story if she is innocent, which it sounds like she is. I do recently recall seeing a news story about Knox. She was being brought back to the US because her appeal was successful and she and her boyfriend were freed. This is a crazy story and it makes one nervous about leaving the county because you never know what may happen. She was clearly a scapegoat because she was American. And that is scary.
