I often wondered what really happened in that murder. Personally I do not think she or her boyfriend were involved in it, so I am glad justice is finally done. Welcome home for sure!

Two are freed. Third person's sentence was reduced from 30 to 16 years. So, who is really guilty of this horror crime? Now, only the guilty party will ever know.

What?!?

No idea....

It looks like I missed this whole thing. 

Foxy Knoxy on her way to a 6 figure interview.

After 4 years in prison for a horrific crime she didn't do? I hope she gets plenty.

No one will ever know if she had something to do with it.

I'm not calling her guilty, If i were her, I'm going straight for the payday too.

She won't get a thing from the Italian system, she was convicted of slander which gave her a 3 year sentence, but time served took care of the sentence. I doubt if anyone in Italy will award her anything monetarily for damages.

Book deals...movie of the week...plenty of ways for her to make money from this, although it would never be worth the time she spent in prison.

Not in Italy no. But here in the US.....Talk show circuit, interviews one right after another. Maybe a book deal. Big bucks for that young lady guilty or no.

Her shabby 'conviction' was overturned. She is therefore innocent.

That's a bit presumptuous!

There are no other clear suspects... and obviously somebody did it.

A supposedly botched investigation does not make her innocent... nor do the questions over the DNA samples.

According to what I read, some of the DNA samples were 'contaminated', supposedly.... and that is what the defense based its appeal on.

The defense had no grounds for an appeal until it was claimed/discovered that the DNA samples were corrupted by 'other material' and there was a small chance for error.  However, a less than 1% chance does not prove innocence, just that a 99% probability was not enough to uphold the conviction, from a 'legal' point of view.  Thing is, that's how other killers have walked free.... legal eagles arguing on a 1% chance and a small speck of doubt.

I don't know if Knox is guilty of this horrendous crime or not, but I sure wouldn't be crowing that she's innocent when there is still far too much doubt surrounding the case.

At the end of the day, only the killer(s) know the truth... and whether Knox dodged a bullet or not.  Hopefully the truth will eventually be revealed and the perpetrator(s) are brought to justice, including Knox if that turns out to be the case.

And you said it all.

yeah... one of those one's we'll never really know the whole truth of.... like Lindy Chamberlain.... 

I never thought it was Lindy.... but Amanda?... I reckon she knows... even if she wasn't the one with the knife... still... you don't wish 26 years on anybody without being 100% sure.... the victim & her family certainly has got lost in this whole circus... 

hope she is sensitive enough not to make it into a money making concern and do the talk shows out of respect to the murdered girl's family, but I guess that's a pipedream... 

And the circus is about to get a whole lot worse, what with talk shows, guest appearances here and there, endless magazine articles and the papers always managing to find another angle to put into print.

Damned paparazzi/gutter press/TV media... they'll drag this one out until it has been stretched so far it snaps... and Knox will make a fortune.  For mine, if I were a media baron, and didn't want egg on my face I'd want to wait a while before I started giving her money hand over fist... like what if it turned out the Italian cops were right and she was/is guilty after all.

She is free only by virtue of some clever legal wrangling and disagreement between so-called experts over the DNA evidence.  For mine, that does not prove innocence, just that she's been freed on a technicality.

it appears that she has plenty of job offers.

Not really. The Appeals Court overturned the conviction. The DNA technology was applied incorrectly, using a level of sensitivity that would cause DNA fagments to be misidentified as being hers.... 

Proving a person 'innocent' is impossible. She is certainly 'not guilty' because a court found her to be so. Neither of us are legal experts, and certainly not with respect to Italian Law.

Suffice it to say there was enough reasonable doubt to exculpate her, and reunite her with her family.

In all this, we should not feel less sorrow for the victim nor her family. I understand another is in prison who is a far more likely suspect in the deed.

Well said, syd.

Neither of us IS ....[it's singular]....

Being found 'not guilty' is not the same as being found 'innocent'....and I vaguely recall references to Italian law having an actual 'innocent' verdict.

That might be archaic since tho.....
