i mean i'm wary of the tone of Rolling Stone article but if half of its assertions are factual then there's no way you shd be able to get a conviction on those grounds.

Eh. It's all terribly sad. They're dealing with a tremendous loss and people who have told them everything was one way are now telling them that it was a different way. It's gotta tear them up something bad.
The best thing anyone can hope for is that if Knox is truly innocent, that she'll be freed.

Buongiorno, one the highest-profile lawyers in Italy, attacked media coverage of the trial as sensational, saying it could have affected what witnesses told the court.And she compared Knox to the voluptuous cartoon character Jessica Rabbit, who protests, "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way," in the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

i don't know everything about this case (i read the rolling stone thing + that's about it); it is nice to think that someone went to prison in such a way and wasn't necessarily, inevitably totally destroyed by it

"It's difficult to speak of forgiveness at this time. Four years is a very long time but on the other hand, it's not and it's still very, very raw," Lyle Kercher told a news conference on Monday afternoon.
don't think anybody's asking them to forgive anybody who committed the murder

woah WHAT
she totally didn't but one second ago the guardian liveblog said 'know has lost her appeal'
― honest weights, square dealings (schlump), Monday, 3 October 2011 19:54 (twelve years ago) link
so yeah she is, they are, free
or 'fee' as the guardian put it, which i guess is at least less embarrassing in the face of having got it way wronger a second earlier

For clarification, this entry said Knox had lost the appeal, not the appeal on this specific charge. Apologies for this error.
what a confusing clarification

there were two charges, apparently; she got the murder charge overturned but lost the defamation charge where she accused Patrick Lumumba of being the murderer

That Mail link reports her sobbing as it's announced and the enormity of 26 yrs sank in, etc - it's one thing getting it wrong, but blatantly making up the whole story. I'm naive to be shocked I guess.

Italian justice system has really failed to cover itself in glory here - not that I'm implying other countries are better, just fucked up differently.

I suppose the best the Italians can say is that at least they didn't execute her...

Nobody is covered in glory here - the prosecution, the judge, the defence, the police, Knox, the Knox family, the pro-Knox media, the anti-Knox media...
― Mohombi Khush Hua (ShariVari), Monday, 3 October 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
as i say, differently fucked up. the whole prosecution story is kinda unlikely when you think about it, and i assume it takes a certain kinda culture to swallow the "she's obv a ho so she must have done it" line
