Amanda Knox Plans Appeal, New Evidence Emerges Proving Her Innocence
American student Amanda Knox is spending her 3rd summer locked up in Italy’s Capanne prison for the murder fo Meredith Kercher.
The story of her lock-up is one of little evidence and lots of tabloid fodder. Amanda and her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito are said to have sexually assaulted and slain Meredith to see how killing felt and were under the influence of marijuana and comic books. There is little proof except DNA found at the crime scene. DNA that would have been in the house since Amanda and Meredith were roommates.
Amanda plans to appeal her 26 year sentence and maintains her innocence, but Italian officials are continuing to sling her name through the mud making any sort of real justice impossible. Umbrian officials would like to see her get more time, at least 30 years, and are adding slander to the counts against her. Amanda’s parents, who flew to Italy to support their daughter and maintain her innocence are also being sued for slander.
What are her chances? There is new evidence that could point to the real killer.
Luciano Aviello, a jailed Italian mobster currently serving 17 years, has come forward saying his brother Antonio killed Meredith and asked him to hide the bloody knife and her keys.
He has no reason to lie, but with so much media fodder surrounding Amanda, public perception has been skewed and her chances are still not very good. Amanda’s prosecutor Giuliano Mignini’s has been convicted for abuse of office and she has brought in Giancarlo Costagliola. The appeals court judge,Sergio Matteini Chiari, rubberstamp Judge Giancarlo Massei’s evidence-lacking report when she appealed last November.
In the meantime, Amanda has been doing yoga, reading, and writing letters to her boyfriend who is serving 25 years.

Fontanon commented on Aug 18 10 at 12:49 pmOld stuff – nothing new about that !
Mickey R. commented on Aug 18 10 at 1:59 pmTerrible Grammar. Second to the last paragraph looks like it was written by an 8th grader. Writer: If English is not your first language, then i can understand such horrid writing style.
Sue P commented on Aug 18 10 at 2:52 pmWell, first of all, Giuliano Mignini is a man, not a woman. And second, Amanda is writing to her Ex-boyfriend, Raffaele. EX being the most important information in that sentence. But I agree that the public media frenzy is a never-ending nightmare for her and her family.
HarryRag commented on Aug 18 10 at 5:30 pmProsecutor Mignini, who prosecuted Amanda Knox & Raffaele Sollecito, was indicted in the summer of 2006, charged with abuse of power in April 2008, convicted for abuse of power in January 2010 (sentenced to 16 months in prison) and who’s charges against 20 innocent people were dropped in April 2010, due to lack of evidence (falsely accused). Meredith Kercher was Murdered Nov 1, 2007.
HarryRag commented on Aug 18 10 at 5:39 pmRudy Guede is the real killer (Amanda and Raffaele had nothing to do with the crime) unless Perugia’s authorities with-held more evidence than I’m aware of. However a lot of hankey pankey went on so anything is possible.
jim commented on Aug 18 10 at 7:36 pmread the judge’s english translated report, ignorant folks , then u will realize why she was convicted provided u have an unprejudiced mind and an humane heart. New evidence? its another set of lies of Amanda and her family. a testimonyof a jalied mob , child killer! this Amanda knox and her family are nothing but a clan of low class white, red neck trash And whoesever supports her is just in the same league and same trash state of mind. she belongs in that gutter andwill remain so for good 26 yrs or more, no appeals court is going to acquit her, cruel bitch along with that sick minded boyfriend. both are scums oof the earth
Simon Keith commented on Aug 19 10 at 6:38 amThe blogger who wrote this (not very bright, barely literate, excitable ) is typical of the immoral bloggers who have nothing better to do but lend their support to a convicted murderer/torturer.
rob commented on Aug 19 10 at 2:27 pmRead this Harryrag? You should not be allowed to speak much less type in a public forum with your weak grasp of English vocabulary and grammer..
Al-Faqh Yughoud commented on Aug 19 10 at 6:28 pmI won’t comment on the merits of the case, but the quality of this article is so poor that it lends credit to those who wish to ban the internet.
I hope there are people who can distinguish real news from this garbage full of inaccuracies and grammatical errors.
You, stupid bloggers, are the reason why only 37% of Americans correctly know that President Obama is not a muslim born in Kenya but a Christian born in Honolulu.
Simon Keith commented on Aug 19 10 at 7:06 pmTo ‘not very clever’ Rob:
– grammar is spelt grammar, not ‘grammer’. You people haven’t got a clue about anything, but it’s quite entertaining to observe you trying to write. Even funnier when you try to turn your little heads to jurisprudence (big word – look it up!).
Harry Rag commented on Aug 21 10 at 2:21 pmHere’s the English translation of Judge Massei’s sentencing report:

Knox the murderer commented on Aug 21 10 at 4:20 pmwhat garbage – geee
Claire commented on Aug 23 10 at 11:09 pmIt´s getting harder to fool people with this nonsense. Knox wasn´t ¨said to have¨¨ she was convicted, unanimously. Very dishonest piece of ´writing.´

Free Amanda.
glenn commented on Feb 22 11 at 1:56 amwow. if this movie is accurate then i’m convinced that the interogation of this young girl was a mental gang attack. most anyone would have confessed to any crime. no way she was involved in this. her crime was ever getting involved with that little weak creep boyfriend.
i know one thing for sure, i’ll never step foot in italy.
let her go and we’ll return all y’all’s mafia killing pieces of crap.
and you grammar police, blow me.
