This place is deader than a British student doing a study abroad program in Perugia.

A lot of questions around that case, but she hasn't done herself any favors if I remember correctly.

Amanda Knox was not the brightest in her actions after the fact, that is true. But without presenting any conclusive DNA evidence and even providing a half-assed CREDIBLE motive or witness, I can't compute that she's guilty.

That was a laughable explanation to begin with. The three of them just came over and decided to rape/kill her roomate for no other reason other than it was something to do? Don't buy it. That was all media spin anyway.

I like that the guy who was the star witness placing Amanda Knox and Harry Potter outside the scene is a homeless guy who has been the star witness in 3 murder cases in the last few years. Perugia isn't known as a hot-bed for homicide. I'm guessing that whenever the cops need a murder witness they just throw the guy a clean pair of socks and a loaf of bread. Conviction!

I guess the question is, do City need Adebayor. I would say no. They already have the luxury of many quality attackers. What they need to do is take the time to actually establish a TEAM.

You don't believe him because he is a homeless guy, racist!

This is def one where she should really be not-guilty vs. innocent. Just can't shake that she was doing something shady though no one can definitively can say what.

Well, I agree. Contrary to my first statment, I don't necessarily think she is innocent, but I don't believe that the court can credibly find her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Especially to the tune of 30 years. That's what serial torturers/killers get in the UK.

I wouldn't expect City to get very much in return for Adebayor.

Man Shiddy and Murder trials on the peninsula? Fun Friday!
