Any fellow GTPers following the news of Amanda Knox's verdict? I simply can't imagine someone so ... beautiful, committing such heinous crimes.

Thoughts, gentlemen (and gentlewomen?)

Don't let someone's beauty sway judgement.

Murder is murder, no matter how the suspect looks.

From the looks of it, she's going to be put away for a long time.

Perhaps she can maintain her looks in prison.
 
Is the verdict in then?

Btw, wrong forum, should go in the Opinions and current events forum.
 
My apologies - for those in authority, please move the thread to Opinions/Current events.

I was joking about the looks part - of course it shouldn't play how judgment is rendered. Given the severity of the crime and the sentence at hand, however, the Italian police's conducts (and especially on the part of the crime scene investigator) are disturbing.

Verdict in 1 minute.

Your minute seem to be a lot longer than mine.
 
Judge has arrived. Special Report on ABC.

Verdict:

Guilty of Slander.
3 years of jail for slander.
Must pay 22,000 EUR of of defense costs.

- this will likely not be applied given that it will be a technicality. She is coming home.

ACQUITTED OF CHARGES. YES FOR ITALIA. YAY FOR ITALIA!

I havent been following this closely at all so I have no idea if she is truly guilty or innocent. But after the OJ Simpson and Casey Anthony trial, NOTHING surprises me.

Well the glove don't fit...

How come she doesn't have to serve the three years for slander?

And why slander?

If my memory serves me right she got another guy in prison (he was african, don't remember where from) saying that he was in the scene of the crime (or something incriminating). Later that claim was proven false ant that guy was released.

So the classic black guy is guilty because he's black?

She looks only slightly above average to me.

I was joking around about the looks - she is no model material by any means. The round face and the sunken in eyes are two distinctive traits, however - signs of neotany coupled with signs of maturity. This sets her apart from her poor murdered friend.

No need, my friend. :) She could get her beauty treatment at Beverly Hills instead - because she's coming back to the USA!

Acquitted by media. Guilty as sin.

I had no opinion on the matter until I saw her statement today. She went from a stumbling, teary girl who was asked if she'd like to sit down to give her statement (in retrospect this looked highly scripted as she answered, to her solictor, "Sitting down won't change the situation") to a ranting, florid, gesticulating, confident speaker for ten minutes before seemingly realising she's supposed to be upset again and stumbling over the last few words.

I have no idea of the details of the case, why she was convicted in the first place nor why she was acquitted today, but she looked like a straight-up liar in that performance.
 
From what I've heard it's another case of idiot prosecutors. Supposedly most of their evidence wouldn't have been admissible in US or UK courts and their main witness was also the main witness in 2 other non-related murder cases.:dunce:

^That is according so whatever "expert" was on the channel I was watching(think it was ABC).

But yeah, much like OJ and Casey Anthony I'm guessing she isn't innocent and just lucky there were idiots on the other bench.

Agreed. Just goes to show if you have enough money and influence behind you you can get away with anything it seems.

Or just get lucky enough to have idiots on the prosecutors side.

If it was truly money and influence she wouldn't have been found guilty to begin with.
 
On the looks comment you made - its a proven psychological phenomenon that people who are 'more attractive' are less likely to be given a heavy punishment or he convicted by a jury as heavily. I don't know anything about the case really but it seems like this may have played a part in the verdict of this case.

And with what famine said someone acting like that is very suspicious and I would agree that that seems very much like a liar. Just my view as a psychology student.
 
Judges were probably skeer'd they'd get assassinated.

Seems people are forgetting the part where she was originally found guilty and sentenced to 26 years.:odd:

She's been lying all the way through it. First she wasn't there, then she was, but it was the black guy who did it, then she's back to claiming she wasn't there again.

Oh well, it's getting late and really need to go to bed, I need to go buy some cleaning products from the local shop at 5am. Like we all did at that age, right? :)

Interesting, but people getting away with doing things has happened for a long time....:banghead:
 
Guilty of being cute as a button while being escorted by police.
