Amanda Knox told Italian authorities that 'they'll have to catch me and pull me back kicking and screaming' following her guilty verdict for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher.
Her defiance raises the spectre of a long drawn-out extradition battle after the decision of judges in Florence to overrule her previous acquittal and sentence her to 28 years and six months in prison.

I dunno. It seemed clear that Rudy Guede was guilty and committed the murder. Did Amanda watch, encourage, and or participate? That’s the question.
I’ve heard that the prosecutor was over the top—but that she didn’t help herself by her conduct. It’s a tough call—and there’s double jeopardy to consider, but not in Italy.
Just a took an internet photo refresher course on Jodi Arias crime scene photos...
They may be sociopaths but way different levels of psycho...Jodi Arias tips the scales...
Amanda Knox may have been railroaded...a case can certainly be made for that opinion...
I’m not to sympathetic to the Italians considering how they allowed terrorists to be released and gave refuge to others that later killed US citizens.
I’ve reviewed this case carefully over a span of several years. What is clear is that Amanda would never have been charged in a US court much less convicted. There is little to no evidence of her involvement. Her media persona is completely irrelevant. The Italian justice system is a mess.
I wish the Italians would leave the poor girl alone. It is a good thing that Knox does not sue the ignorant third world justice system in Rome. Seriously they are a complete embarrassment to the World. Thank God for the United States of America.
Knox may be innocent. But she was found guilty twice. If you want the truly guilty people to go to jail, you may have to accept the fact that the system can never be perfect and that at some point, an innocent person is going to go to jail.
The only way to ensure that no innocent person ever goes to jail is to never send anyone to jail.
If I’d been convicted of a murder I didn’t commit, spent four years in jail while prosecutors leaked every fact, rumor and lie they could to smear me, found myself freed on appeal only to find that the prosecutor gets to keep going after me, I might be a tad upset as well.
Who could believe anything Rudy G said? It sounded like he was a chronic dirtbag who would have gotten into trouble sooner or later. (Correct me if I’m wrong... I haven’t read about this in a while, but that was the impression what I read left me with).
And she was acquitted once. Here in the states that ends the process. My understanding is that double jeopardy is a game changer for the extradition treaty with Italy.
'I’m not to sympathetic to the Italians Americans considering how they allowed terrorists to be released and gave refuge to others that killed US Italian citizens.'
I'd certainly have more sympathy for Knox if she hadn't tried to frame an innocent man to direct suspicion from herself. And, of course, there is that old common law nugget that flight to avoid prosecution can be considered as evidence of guilt.
What I know from even her own mouth is that she had been using drugs and drinking that night and doesn’t remember a lot of it. How the heck does she know when she doesn’t remember???
No. Not in the slightest.
Or you could be someone who doesn’t remember because you were too drunk and too drugged to have full recall
The arrest came not long after the outrage sparked by our seizure of a couple of terror suspects off Italian streets. I think that the arrest and conviction were at least partially retaliatory.
no you are wrong, it is akin to being overturned on appeal here, the prosecutor can refile
legal experts have said there is no double jeopardy in Knox’s case
oh by the way, her footprints were around, she bought cleaning supplies and she lied and implicated a completely removed person. She is guilty as sin
Only the most retarded Globalist thinks Knox is guilty.
Those kangaroos in Italy figured they shopped around until they got a guilty verdict
Of course, its double jeopardy on Knox since she had already been acquitted earlier. Sending her back amounts to Treason
And, the Italians do not honor American extradition requests...nor honor US court orders.
