Foxy Knoxy ... back in Court today

[joggerjayne]

Falsely accused by the Police.

Mentally tortured in custody.

Physically beaten by interrogating detectives.

Maliciously (and wrongly) told by Police doctors (!) that she had HIV.

Abused by the Press.

But ...

... still dignified ...

... still smiling ...

... and still foxy.

Come on, Amanda ... hang on in there, girl !!

[ummmm]

You really do think she's innocent don't you?

Do you think she'll get off though?

[sqad617]

I wonder if the jury sees it your way JJ?

I don't.

[Bbbananas]

Mad as a hatter.
Daft as a bat.

But innocent? Innocent my @arse.
But then again.... I do have a little niggle..

[joggerjayne]

Yes ... I really do think she's innocent.

[NoMercy]

Hey JJ - she is certainly coming across as very charismatic, but a few things puzzle me...:

She says the police abused her and forced her to implicate the innocent bar owner. Why would the police do that, only to subsequently eliminate him from the enquiry and release him without charge? Surely they would have nothing to gain by leaving themselves wide open to a civil law suit? And why would they be going to all these lengths and expense to prosecute her, when they already have one man convicted for his part in the murder? It's not like they need a scapegoat. And Knox is being tried alongside her former lover, who happens to be Italian - would they do that to one of their own, unless they had real reason?

(Sorry, JJ, I know you are probably getting sick of me. x )

[mccfluff]

what actual evidence to they have proving her guilty?

[sqad617]

mccluff.....one piece of damning evidence.........a knife found in the kitchen of Knoxy with the DNA of Kercsher from bllod on the blade and DNA of blood from Knoxy on the handle.

Difficult to explain eh?

[NoMercy]

Well, she said she was nowhere near the scene at the time, yet mobile phone tracking has proved she was. The blood of Meredith Kercher was found in the bathroom, with DNA of Knox mixed in with the blood - suggesting that Knox either tried to wipe or wash Kercher's blood of her..... that's just the tip of the iceberg. She has consistently lied. She lied about being in the supermarket and buying an inordinate amount of bleaching products.

[NoMercy]

Yes, Sqad - and the knife belonged to Sollecito. And it was found to have been "excessively rubbed" but minute traces of Kercher's blood remained. Does anyone know where the knife was found....did it find its way back to Sollecito's apartment before the police found it?

[jno]

this is definitely a warning against doing DNA tests at home with a knife.

[joggerjayne]

Fluffy ... in a nutshell ... none !

The prosecution case is ...

1. Innuendo

2. Speculation

3. Circumstantial evidence

Hi, NoMercy. If I was getting fed up, then I wouldn't post any more threads.

=0)

But the bar owner hasn't sued the Police ... he has sued Amanda Knox. And the prosecution have allowed his civil suit to be heard concurrently with the criminal trial ...

... oh !! ... funny that !!!!

I think the Police got into it a bit too deep. They couldn't back down without looking stupid.

So, in the best traditions of Italian interrogators ... they duff up the "suspect" in custody, persuade her to frame a local barman, and then let the barman sue the suspect in the same court room.

Next thing, they'll glue a carrot on her nose, and call her a witch.

[joggerjayne]

So a knife from Amanda Knox's flat, which Amanda Knox had used regularly ...

... had Amanda Knox's DNA on it.

Well, she must be guilty then, LOL

[sqad617]

JJ...No....but it has to be explained.

[dobrovdave]

Maybe she was making soup sqad?

[joggerjayne]

sqad ...

No, it doesn't.

If there is no explanation either way, then she is Not Guilty.

The prosecution have to prove their case ... not the Defence.

[mccfluff]

was the knife def the one used to kill kercher?

is it not conceivable that two people who share a house could have both their DNA in various places? Ok the fact its blood is pretty damming but still not evidence that she killed her.

[sqad617]

Explanation?........simplist is that knoxy used it to stab Kerscher.

[yogi.bear]

Morning lovely peeps! ( xxxxxx's for the ladies, of course!)

Give Columbo a call.....he'll sort it out!!!

:0)

[joggerjayne]

sqad ...

There is no real evidence to that effect.

That is complete speculation.
