Italy has an obsessive compulsive crush on Amanda ❤😂
This case makes me seriously question ever visiting Italy. It's insane.
I visited two times for long periods of time and is superb specially if you didn’t take the life of someone and then in the morning go in store to buy bleach to wash the room where the dead person is like Amanda did
Prosecutors there need to move on & get a life! It sounds petty -she needs to never go back & I doubt she ever would.
The prosecutors have nothing to do with this. Knox filed and appeal of her calunnia conviction and it was granted. This is a GOOD thing.
She should def not go back to Italy for this ridiculous re-trial or ever!!
She doesn't have to and won't.
I wonder why they don't put all this effort into getting a confession from Guede
Because he's already been convicted, served his time, and been released.
@@mytrip6991 he served 13 years out of 30 if I am not wrong. And he was never really charged with the murder he never admitted, just as an accomplice with no clear role in the story
@@baccy81 His original sentence was 30 years reduced to 24 on appeal. Then the fast track trial reduction of 1/3 of that reduced it to 16 years. He served 13 of that 16 year sentence.
He was charged with and convicted of aggravated murder 'in concorso" with Knox and Sollecito. Under Italian law, a person who participates in a murder, even if they didn't do the actual killing, is equally guilty. He was not found guilty of having wielded the knife against Kercher.
@@mytrip6991 yeah, although he did wield the knife
@@baccy81 Of course he did. Just like he broke into the cottage by climbing through the window in order to steal money to pay his own rent with.
That country is crazy. Let it go.
They will continue to prosecute her until they get a conviction - it's that simple!
False. Read my post above.
When are they going to leave this poor woman alone ? She never did a thing , and the corrupt Italian judicial system won’t admit that they f$&ked up the entire investigation . Enough !
they know she did it. they just can't prove it.
@@109sssssshe didn’t
@@109sssssknowing, thinking you know and proving is vastly different. At this point I have to assume there is something larger at play. They have an agenda here because it would not be reasonable financially to continue to harass her. Profit? Political? seeking media attention?& distractions? Amanda behaved strangely kind of like Jodi Arias, Lori Daybell to name a couple, only there was mountains of evidence proving these woman’s guilt. It takes much more than observing behavior out of the norm.
@@greenfairy4894 that crime has jealous woman written all over it
Guilty
Amanda Knox is a Calculative Murderer!
Meredith, may your Soul Rest in PEACE!
Based on what?
Can she just… not participate in this? She didn’t do anything.
She won't. It's not required and this a retrial that she requested.
Do they not have any other serious cases to solve at there?
See my post at the top. You have a very basic misunderstanding of what's happening.
@@mytrip6991 I don't remember what this is about and I'm not searching for your post. Thanks though .
@@opheliasfall You can't scroll up for another post by me? Hmmm....
@@mytrip6991 I'm literally no longer interested in this story.
@@opheliasfall Then why did you bother to watch the video and comment on it?
they've been trying to extradite her for years...I saw an interview with her...cannot believe they are back at her...
Not true.
She was already back in Italy, June 2019 in Modena and July 2022 in Perugia and Gubbio.
@@eurovicino3513 True. And the Italian government has never requested her extradition even when she stood convicted of murder in 2013 again.
There is a lot of misunderstanding in the comments about this. Amanda herself requested this and it's a GOOD thing.
This has nothing to do with the murder case. She is definitively and permanently acquitted of that. This has to do with the remaining calunnia (defamation) conviction against her former boss, Patrick Lumumba. A new law in Italy allows even finalized cases to be annulled or retried when the European Court of Human Rights rules that a conviction was unfair due to civil right violations. The ECHR did this in 2019 when they ruled Knox's rights to a lawyer, an impartial interpreter, and the right to an investigation into her allegations of abuse during the interrogation were all violated.
In the new trial, her statements taken illegally during the interrogation in which she signed statements saying Lumumba was involved will not be allowed. Thus, she has an excellent chance of having the calunnia conviction overturned and her record will be cleared. So stop hyperventilating and having a melt down.
She does not have to go to Italy as this will be heard by the Supreme Court behind closed doors. Even if the conviction is upheld, she has already served the 3 year sentence so she is not facing any additional prison time or facing extradition. This is a GOOD thing!
Knox slandered Lumuba. How else did he spend two weeks in prison suspected of murder. Knox was shown his name on her mobile, broke down and accused him.
You've way oversimplified what happened. The police admitted they already believed Lumumba was involved as soon as they found her innocent text to him that they misinterpreted. Rita Ficarra, Knox's interrogator, admitted in court that she believed that text was a confirmation that Knox was supposed to meet Lumumba the night of the murder. The interpreter testified in court that Knox kept denying meeting Lumumba but she told her that she had "traumatic amnesia" and the she'd remember "the truth" if she just kept trying. They shoved the phone with the text in her face and kept saying she was lying. Within hours of her arrest, the Chief of Police announced to the press:
"Initially the American gave a version of events we knew was not correct. She buckled and made an admission of facts we knew were correct and from that we were able to bring them in. They all participated but had different roles."
So her 'version': being at her boyfriend's all night. The police "knew that was not correct"...HOW? No forensics had come back yet and no witness had place her or Raffaele outside Raffaele's apartment. But a witness DID place them at his apartment just 10 minutes before Meredith arrived home at 9:00 when she was attacked.
"She buckled:" To buckle: "give way under a weight or force." People don't "buckle' unless under duress.
"(She) made an admission of facts we knew were correct " But they WEREN'T correct, were they? She never met Lumumba or took him anywhere and he didn't kill Kercher. And the police and prosecutor said she was the one who slit Kercher's throat in the bedroom when Knox "buckled" and said she was only in the KITCHEN. And NO evidence of Knox was ever found in the bedroom while multiple evidence of Guede was found there.
Lesson here is don’t murder anyone in Italy.
She didn’t 😂
She stayed in Italy?
She isn't there.
she was a foreign student there, not a traveler
ne bis in idem
Double jeopardy is not in play here.
Check to see if Massimo Sica was in Italy at the time
This is a twisted case, but amanda knox has made a lot of money out of this case. It's sad as every penny she earns is from a drop of blood of another.
LOL! Right...because 8 years of legal bills is just so inexpensive! Lawyers, consulting experts, etc. all work for free, right? Why don't you moan about Rudy Guede who has a lie-filled, self-serving book out and who remains convicted of Kercher's murder, unlike Knox?
Amanda and her family lost a fortune having to defend her from false accusations. She wrote her book to get her side of the story out and to earn some money back so she could begin to pay her family back. She has every right to do that, seeing as she was a victim of this case.
But what I notice you don't talk about are the dozens of people who have written books, made movies, etc., and made a lot of money from the case, when they had no reasonable justification for it except to make a profit. No word of condemnation for them, but the person who went into debt for millions due to false charges... she you have a problem with. I think your sense of right and wrong seems seriously flawed on this point.
After arrest she acted exactly like Jodi Arias, she is guilty, I’m sure.
And I suppose you have some additional evidence they didn't have at the trial? Just because she's immature doesn't make her guilty of squat.
Why did she washed the room with chlorine? Why would you wash your room using chlorine? U don’t even know for sure if she is innocent and jump so agressive to support her 🤦♀️
And one more thing American psycho, Amanda was seen in the morning after Meredith died in store buying bleach . Why would you buy bleach ?
@MakeithappenMakeithappen-vz3zi chlorine bleach you mean? I clean my bathrooms and kitchen with it. Pretty common
@@MakeithappenMakeithappen-vz3zi You do know that was no evidence that any cleaning to the room done. And they story that bought it was later debunked. Your a nut job.
She did it and got away with it!
Nah
No Rudy Guede did it.
Rudy did it!!!!!
totally agree
