I think it was definitely the right thing that she was acquitted. If I heard it correctly though, they did find her guilty of slander, I wonder why exactly BUT she will be getting released from prison and that is what is most important.

I heard there was no double jeopardy in Italy and they expect the prosecutor to file charges again. I heard he has a bad reputation of doing things that may be borderline illegal. From what I have heard there was no evidence linking her to the crime.

I haven't followed the case closely enough to have an opinion but who thinks she is guilty or innocent.

The following is part of an article explaining the DNA evidence fiasco. In a messy crime scene there was not one piece of DNA found in the room that was Amanda's , I think that in itself speaks volumes. The issue of the kitchen knive found at Amanda's boyfriend's place was found not to match the victim's wounds.
In my opinion, without evidence she cannot be proven guilty. The Christian Post > World|Mon, Jul. 25 2011 01:42 PM EDT Amanda Knox Trial : DNA Evidence Collecting Protocol Violated, Experts Almost a month since forensics experts in Italy reached the conclusion that the key DNA evidence used to convict Amanda Knox of killing her roommate could have been contaminated, another major boost for Knox came in Monday as the independent analysts testified that they had found none of her DNA or blood on the murder weapon. The evidence used to jail Knox has been under scrutiny since prosecutors claimed that the knife found in the apartment of Raffaele Sollecito, Amanda's boyfriend at the time, contained DNA from both Knox and roommate Meredith Kercher. ABC News reported that not only did these independent analysts challenge the DNA evidence found in the knife blade, but they also made strong statements against the original investigating team, claiming several DNA collecting protocols were violated. After explaining the proper DNA collecting techniques, a video of the original detectives gathering the DNA doing the exact opposite was shown. According to CBS correspondent Elizabeth Palmer, the new forensic report contends that the Italian police erred a total of 54 times in following the proper procedure while investigating the crime scene, making mistakes such as using contaminated gloves to collect samples, or placing the DNA evidence in paper bags as opposed to plastic bags. |

I think they were worse than the LAPD !! It's pretty bad how they handled the evidence plus they persecuted this girl in the press. There were also other issues that just made the first trial a nightmare. Both juries were not sequestered. I heard it was called "Trial by Tabloid", a term I found interesting and appropriate at least the first time around. |
