Italian judges report that convicted Amanda Knox killed roommate with knife . . .

If I can remember that, I’m gonna steal it!

I'm not nearly clever enough to have made that up myself so I must have stolen it from someone.But *you* will be required to pay *me* $10 for each use! Understood? ;-)

I first read about this case when I read a book called "The Monster of Florence", a non fiction book about a serial killer in Florence during the 80s. The book was written recently and the authors, an american and an italian, were digging up old info. Surprisingly, at one point a zealous prosecutor accused THEM of being the monster (the italian reporter/author, actually). The authors go through all the crazy baloney the italian prosecuter threw at them, and it was pure nonsense. Eventually it was thrown out.

This same prosecutor went on to persecute ... i mean prosecute ... Amanda Knox. With similar nonsense. A three way sex cult plus a satanic ritual gone wrong is so much more likely than a drifter with long history of violence seen at the crime scene which was dismissed as just a coincidence. Because, as you state, they were roommates. Obviously.

Who needs evidence and courts when you have the fact that it's really rare for a girl's roommate to be murdered so therefore the girl must have done it. QED.
