(Source) - An Italian appeals court convicted former exchange student Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito on murder charges Thursday night.
Prosecutors said the couple had killed Meredith Kercher in November 2007. They were convicted two years later of murder, but those charges were overturned on appeal in 2011.
A judge said Thursday that Knox, also convicted of slander, was sentenced in absentia to 28 1/2 years in prison. Sollecito's sentence was 25 years.
Knox, who was at home in Seattle, Washington, said her conviction would bring no consolation to the Kercher family.
"I am frightened and saddened by this unjust verdict," she said in written remarks. "Having been found innocent before, I expected better from the Italian justice system. The evidence and accusatory theory do not justify a verdict of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. ...There has always been a marked lack of evidence."
She called the legal proceedings a travesty.
I'm not going to lie to you. I know absolutely nothing about the law and even less about the Italian law. And on top of that, I also really don't know anything about this case. But if there is one thing that I know for sure its that Amanda Knox is way too pretty for jail. Did she do it? I honestly don't know, but she certainly doesn't seem to think so. Personally I think the Italians should just lay off. Seriously, has anyone ever met an Italian that would let something go? Constantly up in your grill barking shit out. Everything's an argument with these people. Um guys, you already had a retrial and found her innocent once. Why does this keep coming up, do you not have any other criminals to convict or something? Or is that because a couple bureaucratic goombahs over there decided they changed their mind back this delicate little flower has to go up on the stand again and be forced to re-ride that emotional rollercoaster? Just give it a rest and leave the poor girl alone already. From what it sounds like there really isn't even a ton of evidence to support that she did anything. It was basically just like, "Hmm who's-a pretty good-a suspect? The roommate? I don't-a know-a...you think-a she's strong enough to pull-a this off-a? Oh, she have-a the boyfriend!? That's-a perfecto, let's-a convict them!"
Typical lazy foreigners not being able to do anything right, always half-assing their way through life. Hey Italy, maybe this is why your country is in absolute shambles. They can't get anything done. How are they supposed to solve grave economic crisis when they're spending 6 years and millions of dollars in resources on convicting, releasing, and re-convicting some American chick in a murder case? It's just fiscally irresponsible. The police were probably going to collect evidence but then it was siesta time (or whatever the hell custom they have in Italy) so they went and grabbed a cannoli and a ridiculously undersized and overpriced cup of coffee instead. Figured fuck the evidence, who needs it this is Italy - guilty until proven innocent*.
Oh and FYI Italian government, we're basically going to tell you to go fuck yourself if you want us to extradite Knox back there. Because even though we're "cooperative" and "all equals" in this world, we both know that our dick swings longer than yours. What are you going to do, send a strongly worded letter to Obama? Remember, your country may be shaped like a boot, but we won't hesitate to shove ours deep up into your asshole if you ever fall out of line. So fuck you and God Bless America.
PS - I would 100% answer a Craigslist posting by Amanda Knox if she were looking for a roommate knowing full well what she's accused of doing to the last one. Yeah, maybe it puts me in the same apartment as a murderer but it also puts me one step closer to getting into those panties of hers. High risk, high reward.
*Seriously, the law in Italy is guilty until proven innocent, I looked it up. So even if you can't prove that she murdered her roommate, really the only thing you need to prove is that it's theoretically possible that she did and that alone is enough to convict her. It's a completely backwards version of "beyond a reasonable doubt". Ridiculous, I know.
