Foxy Knoxy Found Guilty

An Italian Court has found Amanda Knox guilty of murder of her 21 yr old roommate Meredith Kircher and sentenced her to 26 yrs in jail. Knox's boyfriend Raphael Solecito was also found guilty of the murder.
The case has fascinated the Italian and world media because of Knox's character and behavious both at the time of the murders and during the trial. Her defence od course presented her as a wholesome all-american girl. But , it seems, all was not as it seemed.

The murder happened as some sort of sexual attack on the unfortumate young victim who was visciously killed with a knife. It wasnt long before Knox and Solecito emerged as the main suspects.

Knox has maintained her evidence through the trial yet I suspect there will be many people who are not at all surprised at this verdict.

It seems like Knox was never in a good position from a law-defense perspective; in any situation like her's - U.S. courts or not - the defense tends to be underfunded and under-motivated

You may be right and maybe I am just a judgmental bitch - but she always looked guilty to me.
