things people should remember when defending amanda knox

1. There are two Italians currently sitting in jail, accused of the same murder. This isn't anti-Americanism.

2. Amanda Knox herself claimed to be too stoned to remember what she was doing that night, and her boyfriend never supported her claim that she was at his house.

3. She originally falsely accused an innocent black man of the crime.

4. Living in a foreign country comes with certain responsibilities, like obeying the laws, and abiding by their judicial systems. Just because Italy does things differently than the US doesn't mean it is wrong, or corrupt.

5. Amanda Knox's story about where she was that night and the next morning was contradicted by witnesses.

6. Amanda and Meredith had two or three other roommates, none who were ever suspects. Why? Because they could account for their whereabouts the night of the murder.

7. Even Ted Bundy had friends who couldn't believe he was capable of the things he did.

So, perhaps people should stop trashing an entire country because one young woman couldn't provide an alibi for where she was on the night her roommate was murdered, admitted herself that she was there, and changed her story several times....

I hope to God that Hillary Clinton stays out of this.

guilty

Amanda Knox was found guilty for the murder of Meredith Kercher.

Amanda Knox and her Italian former boyfriend were found guilty last night of the murder of the British student Meredith Kercher, who was stabbed to death two years ago.

Knox, 22 and Raffaele Sollecito, 25, killed Kercher in an attack which ended with Sollecito taunting Kercher with one knife while Knox plunged another into her throat, the court heard during the trial.

Kercher, 21, from Coulsdon, Surrey, was found with a deep knife wound in the throat on the floor of her bedroom in the flat she shared with Knox and two young Italian women. She was a student at Leeds University and was spending a year at Perugia's university for foreigners when she was found murdered on 2 November 2007.

Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison while Sollecito was sentenced to 25 years. Knox was also found guilty of several other offences including criminal slander for pointing the finger of guilt at Diya "Patrick" Lumumba, 38, who ran a local bar. He later proved to have an alibi and was released after initially being arrested in connection with the murder.

i'm back from prague!

We had a wonderful time. I am working my way through the pictures. Here is a little taste of what we saw. This is the tree lighting ceremony in Prague, as seen from our hotel room.



I see lots has been happening in the news - from Afghanistan to Tiger Woods. Sure sounds like the peeps are none too happy with Obama. *sigh*

And what is up with Tiger? What a cheater. *double sigh* I am still going with the theory that his wife went after him with a golf club. Sounds like he deserved it...

More later. I am watching the finale of X-factor. :O)My favorite was eliminated while I was in Prague (I wasn't here to vote for him!!) but I still think he will be a big star! Silver singing Fatti mandare dalla mamma acappella.

skip the mammogram and self exams?

The government appointed group, U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)'s message to women:

Die. Die slowly.
Die slowly so the Democrats can afford their health care plan.

"Women in their 40s should stop routinely having annual mammograms and older women should cut back to one scheduled exam every other year, an influential federal task force has concluded, challenging the use of one of the most common medical tests."

“A vote for the motion to recommit, is a vote for members to be able to read a bill before they vote on it. IS THAT ASKING TOO MUCH?”
