Amanda Knox Convicted of Being American

“Not a shred of physical evidence putting her at the crime scene. Not a shred.” So say legal experts who have closely monitored this case. Two years after the crime, exchange student Amanda Knox of Seattle Washington has been convicted in Italy of the horrendous murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher. She now faces 26 years behind bars in a foreign land.

So what did the prosecutors have on Miss Knox? First, there’s the DNA on the knife they found in her boyfriend’s apartment, not the crime scene at all. And how many girlfriends prepare meals for the guys they’re nuts about? That connection falls apart pretty easy.

Then there were the conflicting statements from a terrified 20-year old girl thousands of miles from home in another country. A little iffy if you ask me. Hardly any more conflicting than the prosecutor who changed his theory of the crime when the first one fell apart. This prosecutor is himself at the center of a controversy for misconduct. In any real court the evidence would be laughable and never hold up. Hell, the charges never would have been brought in the first place.

It doesn’t take a genius to see what went on here. Between the overwhelmingly negative Italian and British press combined with an un-sequestered jury exposed to this garbage during the trial it’s easy to see that the “fix” was in from the very start. Regardless of the positive spin about U.S./Italian relations there unfortunately exists a deep resentment about America, even from our so-called friends. And they got back at America by sending an innocent girl to jail in a foreign land for most of her life.

Amanda Knox was convicted of only one thing…being an American!
