The media have totally blown this out of
proportion in the sense that, they have kind of victimized Knox and dragged her
name through the media dirt. Now, I don’t know whether she was involved in it
or not, but, the media really have been unfair. Everyone deserves a fair trial
– the ‘Foxy Knoxy’ character they have created seems unfair.
.. ..
Secondly, I wanted to discuss Knox’s persona in court. Ok,
it seems a little weird how she is so relaxed, often caught smiling, it seems
she is treating all this as some sort of a joke, well, not a joke, but maybe
not understanding the actual severity of the crime. After all, someone has been
murdered.
I could defend her
and say, she is only a young girl, 21 I think. Perhaps she is naïve. But, I
think most 22 year olds are mature enough to deal with a situation like this in
the right way, if anything, to portray themselves in an endearing way.
Her defense team seem like they have the finger on the
pulse. They have undermined the DNA evidence against her and have many
testimonials (from her friends) of her real personality – apparently she is a
good student, not a wild child and constantly on the ‘deans list’.
.. ..
Again, the media say different things. I’ve read that she’s
a narcissistic megalomaniac and a popular nymphomaniac. Maybe it’s
irresponsible for the media to write these things. Maybe it’s true, maybe not.
But it shouldn’t interfere in the trial. I hope it doesn’t.
.. ..
If she is that way - I think these types of ‘psychos’ are
really interesting. ....Stanley....
Kubrick, Howard Hughes. They were both paranoid megalomaniacs – but they were
also geniuses. True perfectionists and pioneers in their chosen fields.
.. ..
Maybe if Knox is anything remotely like these individuals it
may put her in good stead. It could be a defiant act of confidence in her
innocence which allows her to comfortably and often nonchalantly respond to
questioning. The art of a true genius – or..Well, it could genuinely be a naïve
22 year old, who murdered the girl, and couldn’t care less about it.
.. ..
I haven’t reached a conclusion. I don’t know if she did it
or not. Her lack of remorse is something clear to see. But, it has been 2 years
since the murder, so, maybe she just doesn’t care about Merchers death anymore.
.. ..
Let’s remember, someone has already been tried and sentenced
in this case. The one guy got life for the murder. I think Amanda’s case and
her boyfriend at the time, is to establish whether they were involved or not.
Does it take 3 people to slit a throat? Not sure.
.. ..
I think it is possible for them both to have been involved.
Maybe they did not kill, but perhaps they were there. And if so, then they will
both (Amanda and her boyfriend) be sentenced for some kind of Aid and Abet
crime. Apparently Mercher had 47 wounds on her body – which implies she was
trying to escape and fight for her life. Was it against 1 person, or 3?
.. ..
I’m still researching and learning about the case. I’ve
heard Amanda’s statements conflict – she has given conflicting statements on
her whereabouts on the night of the murder. I heard one statement claiming she
was in the house, smoking weed, and she heard screams upstairs. And I’ve also
heard of a statement were she was not at the house at all and was watching
movies with her boyfriend. Was she there? Or was she not? One of the statements
was a written and signed statement saying something like, ‘I confusedly
remember him killing her’. It seems conclusive, but 14 hours of interrogation
can drive anyone insane. I heard the interrogation was violent, aggressive and
extremely clever – techniques which could break mafia bosses.
.. ..
Another thing, I’m not sure whether sexual abuse was
involved in this case. I’ve heard the murder was some sort of a sex crime, but,
I haven’t heard any evidence. Maybe it’s the media mixing things up again.
.. ..
Do any of you know?
.. ..
I really can’t see a credible motive for this crime. The
prosecution described her as a ‘wound up spring’ – or something. But there is
no clear motive for this crime and still nothing credible has been revealed.
All I’ve heard is sex games, satanic rituals and petty things like, arguments;
nothing credible enough for someone to kill someone.
.. ..
Overall, I just don’t believe the prosecution has enough
evidence here. There is nothing definitive. There is reasonable doubt in all of
the prosecutions cases. So my prediction is Amanda and her boyfriend will be
tried innocent in this case. But I could be wrong.
