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.

you are splitting legal hairs
it was an intermediate court that reversed
even Alan Dershowitz from Harvard says no double jeopardy and that she will be extradited
poor little sociopath
thought she was so cute no one would touch her
Buy the ticket, take the ride.
pot, it was marijuana
she remembers
Agree.
I think he didn’t plead guilty
She was also interrogated with no lawyer present...with no interpreter (although Knox spoke some Italian).... and the Italian legal system is a joke
Italy does not honor court orders from the US...and a number of US children, abducted to Italy by non custodial parents, are not turned over to their custodial American parents. Italy is a great place to take a kidnapped American child...they will not turn the child over
That is pretty basic int’l law...and Italy is one of the worst in the world
I will repeat...only a retarded Globalist believes the Italian justice system over Amanda Knox. I guess the Knox case exposes the hate and contempt some Americans have for their own country
What was it Robert Bork (a Federal Judge and former military officer) said? If guilty he’d prefer a jury trial, if innocent, a court-martial. Juries act on prejudices and perceptions as much as on fact.
Nope —
I stand with the jury of 8 intelligent people who found her innocent:
In October 2011 they were released after almost four years in prison following their acquittals at the second level trial.
In an official statement of their grounds for overturning the convictions the judges wrote there was a “material non-existence” of evidence to support the guilty verdicts, and that an association among Sollecito, Knox, and Guede to commit the murder was “far from probable”.[2][3][4]

“As a father, I have a real feeling for the Kerchers’ pain,” he told The Guardian.
“But you need conclusive motives to condemn, as well as conclusive evidence.
“There were lots of mistakes by the forensic investigators that robbed the case of any certainty.”
Reversed wasn't the term used. Acquitted was. Legal hairs are split all the time.
Alan Dershowitz from Harvard says no double jeopardy and that she will be extradited
Not going to happen.
bs
motive schmotive
you do not need motive
sociopaths kill without motive
Saw Dershowitz on TV today, talking about the case. He said that, based on the circumstantial evidence, the verdict could have gone either way in an American court.
He also said that the multiple trials that she has gone through in Italy isn't exactly analogous to double-jeopardy in American courts.
I don't know the facts of the case. Just reporting what he said.
He said more than that, maybe at a different time
“I’m not comfortable with the concept of convictions in absentia...”
I recently attended a trial in the US where all the defendants were absent. Given the recordings played by the prosecution, I’m pretty sure they were going to be convicted in absentia in the US court. If they didn’t like that, they were welcome to return to the US from Mexico and participate...
Ohh yeh -- that makes a whole lot of sense:
Bring a knife from your own kitchen to the murder scene and then don't throw it away but bring it right back home and put it in the drawer where the police can find it.
Ohhh Yehh -- good police work -- even a rudimentary criminal would know better than that.
Like there were no knives in the kitchen at Kercher's hamlet that could be used.
Please --
Think of the Italian legal system as what America’s would be if it were run by Obama and Holder for the last 50 years.
They also convict without evidence.
“Anyone else think this sociopath “
No. She acts like someone charged with a crime without any evidence and has been pulled through a corrupt Italian court system time and time again.
“And, the Italians do not honor American extradition requests...nor honor US court orders.”
Excellent point. I have a friend who was granted such as case. The Italians were to give up some evidence in an attempted kidnapping case. They refused, claiming they are under no obligation to release infomration even though our treaties say they must.
I’ve always thought Knox was a guilty as hell. And free as a bird.
