The Many Faces of Amanda

I hope they don't get off...so to speak.

Hammie: I appreciate your background and that you lived in Perugia. It's good to know, really. If you re-read what I actually wrote, the comments were not mine, they were what two separate exchange students told me. Obviously, just like in America, there are towns and cities in Italy that are safe. The news media does not write about these, but only about the sensational things that happen to people. My comments were meant to be comments to any student who plans to enter any country foreign to their own, that they should exercise common sense and look at all the facts. What is done is done; Meredith Kercher is a tragic victim and we all mourn her loss and extend our sympathies to her family and friends. What I believe is that we should all try to create some good out of tragic situations that we obviously cannot change. If one mixed-up student reads this article an exercises better judgment than Amanda Knox, it will keep them from getting entangled in this kind of mess. I have not made any comments at all as to whether Amanda is innocent or guilty.

Hoenstly? Who gives a sh*t about race in this case? Murder is murder is murder. A young girl was killed for no reason and ALL who are responsible should pay the penalty. END OF STORY.

coco - You said that these people all "knew" each other very well. The fact that there was a murder proves that they did not truly "know" one another. Knox had only been in the country 3 months. My comments were what two separate German exchange students told me and others around them in casual conversation. You said not to generalize.

Can anybody tell me a place where you can be safe 24/7? becuase I want to go there, who wouldn't, right? ... I was In Perugia studying abroad when the murder happened. I had the best time of my life while in Italy, especially in Perugia. The whole town was in shock when this terrible incident happened becuase Perugia has been a safe town for many years. People in that town know each other's business and can tell who is new in town. Who you are and what you do has to do a lot with the people around you. As a young adult, what many of us do when touristing a place, or exploring the nighlife in others countries, you have use your common sense. Common sense for everything, that's it. It is uncertain what is going to happen to an individual in the next hour or day, and it is sad to hear stories of people being robbed while vacationing in other countries; it's unfortunate. Thankfully many people, including me, have travelled and have been safe the whole time while in other countries. It is not fair to make a generalization about going to foreing countries and say negative things about them. It is very sad and unfortunate what happened Meredith Kercher and the person or people who commited that murder. The actions of a few should not be directed to everybody. If you feel unsafe travelling, because of pick pick pokets, don't go out then! you'll be better at home ... "don't let strangers into your apartment?" Are you, Anna2007, refering to the people involved in Knox's case? It is obvious that all these people knew each other very well, and it wasn't just a one time thing.

this is very intersting and very intregieng

If you read all the evidence it points directly to Rudy Guede. He is the only one who continues to admit he was there and he is the one who bolted the country after the murder. He had run-ins with the police before this incident, whereas Knox did not have a police record in the States or abroad. The theory of 1 intruder with intentions of rape and murder makes a thousand times more sense than the assanine theory of an orgy gone wrong. The group crime theory makes so little sense. If all 3 of the suspects really had a need for some kind of group orgy, why would they need the victim and why would they kill her over it? How can that seem more plausible than a single killer? Especially when you have the probable single suspect in the single suspect theory leaving the country to escape arrest? The single killer could still stage the break-in; he certainly wouldn't have needed accomplices to manage that. Further more, it has been said that only a strong man could have inflicted the knife wound on the victim, in which case Knox would seem to be a poor candidate for having committed the actual murder. The rape would obviously have to have been performed by a male as well, as this is the only way seamen could have been injected. That, too, would illiminate Knox from the 2 acts associated with the crime. That would leave the 2 males as suspects, but again, only one of the 2 men both admit to being there and left the country.

I am supposing that students may be reading this blog and might need to hear a way to NOT become entangled like Amanda Knox. If it saves just one mixed-up student, then it was worth making the comment.

It is such a tragedy what happened to Meredith. She went overseas to study and better her life but instead got brutally murdered. I hope that the students implicated in this crime will speak the whole truth about what happened. I am sure none of these people planned to spend the rest of their lives in a foreign prison.It's a bad situation for all. The stories are not adding up. One reason might be because too much drugs. People sometimes go into a daze after drug use. It's possible there was another person at the villa that nobody is questioning . It's possible Meredith brought home a different guy after Rudy and that guy was a killer. The possibilities are endless. I hope justice is served.

AMEN!!! LADY_WHISPER, YOU HAVE THAT RIGHT...DON'T JUDGE FOR YOU MAY BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN.
