Reply to: Amanda Knox acquitted

I think we take for granted the standard of policing in this country,

[BlasterBates]

Most things that happen in open court rooms can be reported but the media choose to focus on the juicier and easy to understand aspects of the story which can easily get distorted. In some ways it's annoying as each story is the same even though you know there are other aspects they could easily report.

It's also natural to blame others who were nearby, even if they are young and stupid, for not protecting your relation from dying or other crime for example the Lawrence family blame Duwayne Brooks for Stephen Lawrence's death.

Agree with that, now she needs to shutup about it.

I have an open mind but I would have expected much more of a motive than "sex games that went wrong", doesn't add up, does this mean in a state of sexual arousal she suddenly had the urge to slash a knife in her friend's throat, and then cooly and calculatingly erase all signs of DNA from the room.

It's just bizarre.

Meredith's mother said she was disappointed by the verdict. Not something you would say if you thought she was innocent. The mother is likely to be privy to information that cannot be reported.

Cabot Cove.

Jessica would have it solved in 44 minutes and in the next 16 minutes she would have a confession from the protagonist whilst Dr Seth and Sherriff Tupper were listening in from their hiding places in the next room.

Bloke in Death in Paradise.

He's the nerdiest of them and doesn't make stupid conclusions about forensic evidence.

You get to have a look at his female side kick in small clothes and I get to laugh at their attempt at male eyecandy.

He's the hapless son from 'My family'. I like Death in Paradise. Can't think of a nicer place to go and be murdered.

I think the "I've got my life back" witterings were quite distasteful.

The prosecution's case was not particularly well put together.

Firstly there was an Albanian "schizophrenic" who saw them brandishing knives on that stormy night, except it wasn't stormy, and the guy was obviously a nut case.

The confession from Knox after shouting at her and slapping her around a bit.

Knox's finger prints on a kitchen knife in her flat...ah surprise surprise, I mean is this evidence ?

The deal offered to the guy who actually murdered Mercher, that if he implicated Knox they'd reduce his sentence, ....oh look, there's another witness.

...and the motivation....sex games!!!

I can handle the burglar with a history of knife crime, raping and killing his victim, but I have difficulty with the rest of their case. We'll never know what happened that night but I think she deserved to be acquitted.

Depends! You got any "good" pics of her?

Sadly the only dodgy too indecent to be published photos of anyone vaguely famous I've taken are of Katie Hill

So that's a no

[FatLazyContractor]

The only important question is would Mich

Personally, marks out of ten, I'd give her one

Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito acquitted of Meredith Kercher murder - BBC News

The only TV I ever watch ( apart from news and The Simpsons) are detective dramas. So which crime genius would have solved the mysterious Kercher case first? Jonathan Creek, Sherlock, Father Brown or that bloke in Death in Paradise?

Well I guess she's free to cash in on her story now.

For the record, I always thought she was a wrong ' un but that's trial by media for you.

None of this, of course, brings any comfort to poor Meredith's family.

Gene Hunt. Since he was already dead he could have just asked her whodunnit. And then we could have admired Keeley Hawes parading about for the rest of the episode

Jeremy Clarkson needs her solicitor!
