Death in Perugia

What a bunch of bored, too much money, creepy weirdos. Bye bye Amanda....you're gonna "do time". See ya....

No one knows how they will react in an extreme situation; however, their decision is always based on the situation. Ms. Know could have been frozen in terror; drugged up; or unable to find a safe way to call the police; or get out the house; and who knows how the police would have responded. We do not know how this crime was carried out. Whether a look out was stationed in and out of the house. Until we know all the facts we cannot make any intelligent statements about this case; only gut reactions.

This story makes me glad not to live in Europe or anywhere the establishment has no sense of justice--the law is whatever they say. Consider how the McCann's are being vilified. Look at the buffonery displayed by officials in the Holloway case. All of this makes foreigners look like idiots; and makes one thankful for living in the USA.

The press is using an attractive victim like Ms. Knox to sell papers; is that sleazy or what?
Free Amanda now.

Sure, tell Sgt. Peterson that!!
Now they have another person to hang in Italy. They found the fourth person involved,Rudy guede. He admitted being there and they found his semen in the victim.

Why do we in America feel the need to defend people on the bases of being an American citizen. None of know this girl, yeah she looks sweet enough but looks can be decieving. the girl who was killed deserves justice, even if I hurts our American pride!

If this crime had been committed in the US, Ms. Knox could not be assumed or declared guilty by the press, the judge or internet bloggers. She may not be the instigator nor the perpetrator of this rape and murder. She may well be just a material witness, but what do the Italians or the British care?! It is times like these that I thank my parents for taking me the hell out of Italy when I was young and bringing me to the US where the rule of law actually means something. I wonder if there is such a thing as "innocent before proven guilty" in Italy?! I hope Ms. Knox has a good "American" lawyer! She is going to need a team of them!

If this crime had been committed in the US, Ms. Knox would not be assumed guilty by the press or the judge or you internet bloggers. She may well not be the instigator, nor the perpetrator of this crime. She may simpy be a witness to it. I am sure it was a male who raped the murdered girl and a male who murdered her. Why don't you people who are quick to judge wait for forensic evidence to be officialy released and for a trial before you are ready to put Ms. Knox in jail for life or worse. Italians need to learn a thing or two about evidence gathering. It's times like these that I thank my parents for moving me the hell out of Italy and to the US where the rule,of law is much more defined and much more fair. I hope Ms. Knox has a good "American" lawyer. I wonder if there is a thing such as "innocent before proven guilty" in Italy?! I guess with the Italian press, the British press and the help of Italian judges, who needs a fair trial in Perugia?! Maybe that's how they save tax Euros!

Wow! You guys really are paranoid! No-one is stating that this is all about americans, just stating that one of the accused IS an american. But look how you lot react. Even down to that old favourite of mentioning how you lot saved the world from Hitler. Um....you did kind of turn up late for that event and only after Pearl Harbour. Some bunch of altruistic lot you were! But back to the point, take a deep breath, put a lid on your paranoia and accept that all nations are capable of anything, ok? Its all this lunatic ranting that gives your country a bad image. Sigh.....but I guess y'all come right back at me with more bile and ravings and just perpetuate the image even more. How sad.

i believe sincerely that there were are more than those already detained in the poilice cells now i also knew in 1998 of that houses notorious status also of italoian women picking up african men north west africasns for flings its never been a nice place since they began allowing just about anyone those with money etc soon began debasing the immigrants who are were vulnerable due to low socioeconomic status im saying this so the truth comes out...........italian women have been playing around there for years now we have a scandal people more of them will die i know that this isnt the last we will hear of sordid allegations from perugians

I think it's a tragedy that Ms. Kercher was tortured and murdered for some sick sexual, perverse "pleasure". I think all the parties listed are involved in some way. They need own up to what they did. I mean, how stupid can they be to leave soooooooo much evidence behind linking them to the scene and the crime? Criminals that stupid get what they deserve. I wonder how Ms. Knox would feel if she was brutally raped? Would she still be in favor of it? It seems that society has no morals and values any more. No one wants to be held accountable for things they do. They play the blame game and accuse everybody else. How pathetic. My condolences go out to the Kercher family. This was a crime that should have never happened.

ITA with your, anonymous_person. The Italian boyfriend is the one who advertised he liked extreme sex, the murder weapon is his knife, he posed in pictures with weapons. Plus you are correct, men commit rape and other violent crimes at a MUCH higher rate than women. I'm not saying she is without fault, but it seems like the Italian boyfriend is trying to shift blame onto the American.

Kinky sex kills? Who knew?
