The Bizarre Case of Amanda Knox (Meredith Kercher murder)

Dudes, what the frak is going on here? This is one of the mentalest cases I've ever enjoyed watching with a perverted joy from afar. Now, I don't think she did it. It might be because she's a pretty nice-looking piece of skirt, but that's just the impression I'm getting. But frak me every time I read something about this case it's more mental than the last. Here's the latest:

I mean, what the frak? Who wrote this sh*t? Can anyone sum this case up in terms I can understand? As in no words longer than two syllables.

All I know is this - stay out of trouble in Italy.

From all I have heard, Knox's words and behaviour have never sounded in the slightest convincing as a wronged innocent party ... and over time, she gives the impression of having replaced sneering contempt for the life of others by an even harder-nosed cynicism.

Just a view ... and of course not a verdict. Just behavioural observations.

You know more than that.

You are well-versed in the talents and form of various England-qualified cricketers, for a start.

And yet she had no motive at all to murder someone and risk flushing her own life down the tubes into the bargain.

I'm not sure how you sound convincingly wronged. Is it in the tone of voice or are there some accompanying ticks and gestures that play well too - maybe tear up, pray to Jesus, collapse on the floor a gibbering wreck, curled up into a ball and whimpering for your mommy?

I would think generally you don't sneer at the murdered person, for a start.

Or perhaps appear strikingly devious in your words on the matter. etc.

There is no inevitable guilty/innocent pattern of human behaviour in cases of premature death, if that's what you mean. But isn't that a rather banal truism? You are still allowed to scratch your head and wonder, I think.


How do you know there was no motive? Was Chief Inspector Dello called to Italy to apply his investigative powers? i.e. Have you done a lot of reading on the case?
