I am not personally involved in this person, like some seem to be, so I neither like her nor dislike her, I just think she is guilty, period.

Evidence and the courts doesn't support that claim.

I am not personally involved with here either. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but you called her a sociopath. That isn't a term most people would throw around.

So do I - too bad she got away with it.

Pretty hard to "get away" with something that you didn't do.

To have even generally followed what was in the news and be aware of what the physical evidence shows, is being personally involved? Who knew.

The term sociopath should be used by people who are aware of its meaning and not just as a trendy phrase to indicate someone they've decided they don't like and their bones tell them is guilty.

Amanda Knox had once posted on Facebook, paraphrasing, she "rarely is embarrassed and for that reason had no social inhibitions" Perhaps that was why some found her unlikeable? Her flat affect?

Or maybe it was the DateLine piece Keith Morrison hosted. His sinister spin on sensational story made a college student look like a partying kinky player.

Amanda's major blunder was in trying to help. She went to the police. She had a cousin she could stay with but was determined to help find the killer and also wanted to be there as a consoling friend when Meredith's parents arrived at the cottage. Everyone else "Got out of Dodge" so to speak, including the two older female roommates who had immediately contacted their attorneys.

Her boyfriend, confused and pressured under questioning hinted that perhaps it was possible she wasn't with him all night? The interrogators seized that tid-bit and ran with it. Knox was heavily pressured after hours and hours, with an inept translator and no counsel. The local gendarmerie were bumbling low-ranking postal police. It was a hot mess and she walked right into it.

Ah - another "personally involved" person ;-)

I don't remember the Keith Morrison piece - wish I could see it now.

So let me get this straight. If we have read the trial details and have followed the case and believe she is not a murderess we are "personally involved," and therefore are suspect, ourselves. But if we are just sure that she is guilty, despite the evidence, and we think she is a sociopath, a killer, a despicable person, then we are....what? Geniuses? Not personally involved? Third person omniscient?

I didn't think she was extremely empathetic and likeable early on, but I never thought she was guilty. I didn't and I still don't. She was framed.
