First 30 minutes tell you everything you need to know

You get home. Your front door is open. You check your room, the hallway, you don't go door to door to check the entire house. You go into the bathroom. There is blood in the sink. So naturally ...

You undress and take a shower.

Now you get out of the shower, and there's also blood on the bathroom rug. Hmm, only a few drops, no big deal. WTF! A huge pile of unflushed *beep* in the toilet! Now I am freaked out man! Better leave immediately and go to my boyfriend's house!

Come back with the boyfriend. Notice Meredith's door is closed. Have boyfriend try to break it open. Won't budge. Maybe it's finally time to call the cops? Yea ok it's time!

Police asks me to see if any knives are missing from the kitchen. Hey I am completely innocent, and want to help them catch the killer of my room mate and friend Meredith. They show me the knife drawer, so naturally ....

I start screaming and going mental and having a complete breakdown covering my ears.

I didn't even get to see the body or anything, nor was I present when the murder took place, but being inside the house and looking at the knife drawer, I imagine how Meredith would have screamed so my reaction is completely normal you guys.

The police want to investigate my boyfriend. Obviously, I go to the police with him without being summoned. Boyfriend who was with me at all times at his home suddenly turns on me and says I get home at 1am, this is completely normal, he was just stressed.

They interrogate me and they scream at me and slap me over the head a few times. I know I am completely innocent, but hey, better tell them I know who murdered Meredith and that I did in fact hear her scream so I was there. I'll blame my boss, this is definitely ok of me and should prove my innocence, I should be freed by the end of the day and will resume my normal life.

This is how people who are 100% innocent behave. They start making up stories to satisfy the police and get out of there already. Because if you are 100% innocent, it's completely normal to try and make up stories and falsely accuse someone just because the interrogation carried late into the night and you were tired and fed up.

This is all normal. Anyone would have done this. I am just a normal innocent girl. Look at my pretty smile. You believe me don't you? How could you not? It's so obvious!

And those are just the bits where she's consistent.

Well, I'm starting to have my doubts and believe Guede might have done it after all.

I really think we should be careful about assuming behaviour we find strange being evidence of a violent crime. I refer you and everyone who might be interested to two really interesting stories from This American Life, on about false confessions, a known phenomenon where people confess to crimes they haven't committed: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/507/confessions and another one about a woman who claimed she had been raped but caused suspicion in those near to her as she didn't behave like a victim should: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/581/anatomy-of-doubt.

I think it would be really hard to know how you yourself would act in a traumatic situation before you're actually in one.

Please refute the overwhelming evidence against Amanda Knox in its totality thanks.

http://themurderofmeredithkercher.com/The_Evidence

Knox never confessed she falsely accused an innocent man and her statement was supported by forensic evidence and multiple witnesses so please explain this, seeing as you seem to feel Knox is innocent, thanks.

I'd like to be able to read all the material in this case but as that would take months I shall have to declare myself less well-read that you in this care. However, I stand by that everything you detail in your original post doesn't prove anything or indicate odd behaviour. Who is to say what is odd behaviour in a very odd situation?

I think it's a lot to ask of a 20 year old girl in a foreign country finding herself in this situation to think about consrquences, for instance in accusing her boss. It definitely doesn't put her in a good light but in the circumstances, having been interrogated for hours, stressed, traumatised, sleep-deprived, not understanding the language properly, physically violated etc. I see how that situation arose.

I'm not saying she's definitelt innocent or guilty as i don't have extensive knowledge into the case and you are obviously very determined about this so there is probably no point arging about the innocence here but I really would reccomend you listen to those programmes if you have the time. It's a really interesting insight into the human mind.

Just watched the docus and hell what a crime story.. I read more details about the crime and sure Amanda's and Sollecito's alibi are conflicting due to being high on drugs, lying or simply confused due to to stress. I think all three of them were capable of doing it.

What gets me is that Guede portrays him self an honest guy, such a person who speaks from its heart.

He tries to save Meredith's life and fails. Such a person would absolutely call the police, but instead he leaves the country, conflicts his alibi and states on skype that Amanda wasn't there. To make a such a straight statement, you must be absolutely sure what you talking about.

[–] lillurr 7 years ago

Yes, the only thing that is definitely certain is that Guede killed her.
The rest of the prosecution's claims are not impossible but just seem very unlikely. That one young woman would be so outraged by another young woman (alleged) promiscuity that she verbally/physically attacks her and that the other woman kills her for that reason just seems like something that that is more likely to happen in the warped mind of an elderly deeply religious italian gentleman than in reality.

[–] Corpus_Vile 7 years ago

How is it definitely certain when Guede was simply convicted bard as were the other two until the SC's illegal acquittal? Guede was convicted on less evidence than Knox overall.

[–] Corpus_Vile 7 years ago

No all three lied when it suited them to and the acquitting court says Knox was certainly present during the murder and washed Meredith's blood from her hands afterwards, that there were three killers, that the burglary was staged and that Knox falsely accused an innocent man in order to protect Rudy Guede as she was afraid he'd retaliate by incriminating her. As for Sollecito he's been bragging about how to clean up crime scenes and making very disrespectful comments about the victim and women in general on facebook very very recently.

Pics of the three were also released with the caption that the black did the time while the whites go free. All three did it two simply got away with it.
Sollecito's family are dodgy anyway.

And I stand by my accurate comment that her behaviour was indeed odd. Falsely proclaiming you found the body, callous comments about the victim's suffering, having numerous meltdowns, turning cartwheels (similar behaviour to Jody Arias) at the police station is strange behaviour and she wasn't convicted on her behaviour anyway but on the overwhelming evidence I linked.

I think it's a lot to ask of a 20 year old girl in a foreign country finding herself in this situation to think about consrquences, for instance in accusing her boss. It definitely doesn't put her in a good light but in the circumstances, having been interrogated for hours, stressed, traumatised, sleep-deprived, not understanding the language properly, physically violated etc. I see how that situation arose.

Amanda Knox wasn't interrogated for hours and falsely accused an innocent man in about an hour.
http://themurderofmeredithkercher.com/Myths_debunked#Myth:_Amanda_Knox.27s_statement_was_false_or_coerced_after_a_long_interrogation
Nor was she traumatised or sleep deprived either. She wrote Italian in her own diary, insisted on speaking Italian to the flatmates, had a relationship with an Italian and worked in an Italian speaking environment and the cops provided two interpreters anyway.
What's more she knew Meredith was sexually assaulted and knew a black guy did it, she simply accused the wrong black guy. She knew this before the cops knew it too as they didn't get the autopsy report until two days later. Yet another coincidence surrounding innocent Amanda...

I really recommend you read the primary sources and court reports, they're better and more accurate than the programmes you recommend, cheers.

This behavior is not consistent with how most people would act. It doesn't make her guilty, but it surely doesn't help her position of innocence. I can tell you with 100% absolute CERTAINTY that if this were either of my two 20-something daughters, neither one of them would even set foot inside the apartment if they showed up and the door was open. They are smarter than that.

And blood drops in the sink? Oh hell no. If they somehow managed to get over the open door, the moment they saw the blood drops in the sink they'd run screaming out of that place.

Knox also failed to notice the broken window right at the front of the house, the nine bloody footprints in the hall and the bloody footprint on the bathmat where she had her shower. Photo here.
