Amanda, when will you realize that nothing you say or do will change how some people feel about you(either way)? Go on and live your life and make the commitment to being a better person.

She may get extradited yet - if Italy asks for her, the U.S. is obliged to send her back. If not, that would be a big issue for the EU.

I can see both of her hands, so it's not a selfie.

Charles, perhaps you are unfamiliar with what constitutes a "selfie". It means a picture you take of yourself. See how you can see both of Ms. Knox's hands? This means someone else took the photo. Which makes it a "portrait".

@1, my understanding is that the US is not obligated. Extradition treaties don't mean every convict is automatically handed over. Italy will have to satisfy American authorities that Knox was fairly tried, and we know there are a lot of questions about that.
5
@3 Though technically correct you still sound like a condescending prick. For whatever reason some folks seem unecessarily hostile to Charles compared to the rest of the stranger staff. Hmmmm....

If the US sends Knox to Italy, it will be a horribly unjust move, even if she is guilty

A cornerstone of our justice system is that the state can not just keep holding trials until it gets the verdict it wants. Knox was tried and found not guilty, and she should not be tried again for that crime.

She deserves the protection of her nation from the unjust and laughable court system of Italy.

@5: I understand what you're intimating, and fuck you.

I responded to Mudede in that manner on this particular issue because he's been an absolute trolling prick about it.

Everything else I enjoy. Well, except his photography.
8
@5,

I kind of enjoy Mudede even when he's being an asshole, but he is still often an asshole. I'm assuming you weren't around when the racist muh dik and Ian Smith trolls showed up on his every post. *That* was unwarranted.

Look out, she's got a machete hidden behind that poster.
10
My friends noticed I started following Foxy on FB and mocked me deservedly.

Mudede, you have this perverse fixation on Knox, who you appear to blame for the murder of Meredith Kercher even though (1) someone else was incontrovertably guilty of the crime; (2) that person didn't implicate Knox when prosecuted; (3) the state in prosecuting that person didn't implicate Knox; (4) there's no plausible theory that would link the proven murderer to Knox; (5) the initial investigation discovered no evidence tying Knox to the murder; (6) the prosecutor is a known nutjob and criminal who has prosecuted the case under at least three different theories in court, including allegations of Satanism and of sexual frenzies; and (7) the only, highly dubious physical evidence against Knox was supposedly found at the scene of the crime months after the murder. I have literally no idea why you want to persecute this woman, who is at worst guilty of signing a racist and false statement (implicating an innocent man) that an insane prosecutor forced on her after a day of interrogation and browbeating in a foreign land, in a foreign language, without legal counsel or consular access.

Good Afternoon Charles,
For the record, I just wish she would be non-news.

Yesterday's porn film production company offer. Now, this. This is getting ridiculous. I get it, she's photogenic. But clearly, she needs to "hide" for HER sake. @1 has is it spot on. Be a better person Amanda. I wish you well but I don't wish you notoriety. This kind of tweet/photo/antic doesn't help.
13
I called it a selfie because the writer in the linked post did. sorry for being so sheepish in such matters.
14
@5 Charles has a long history of posting shit that only serves to show the world what a massive asshole he is:
-Anything about architecture into which he shoehorns a quote from his "Philosopher of the Day" calendar.
-Anything about economics, which just allows him to hit his auto-text keystroke for "neoliberalism".
-Anything about American monoculture, which again can be distilled, in every instance, to "neoliberalism".
-Anything involving pretty white women and a black man, which allows him to display his adolescent level libido and make some reference to "we are all Africans".
-FOXY KNOXY!!!!

Did I miss any?

Charles is right to report on this AK-promoted Twitter photo -- it's AK who's trying to get attention pleading that she's innocent. Well a whole hell of a lot of us don't believe her and know there's a mountain of credible, reliable evidence against her. No amount of AK's crying and whining will ever overcome the obvious evidence AK is a murderer!
16
@15...umm, see Warren @11. Care to refute a single thing in there?
17
I don't see any real difference between holding the camera yourself, on the one hand, and asking your gay worshiper to snap the shot for you, on the other. Either way it's a selfish selfie.
18
@11,

The lack of consular access, in itself, ought to be grounds not to extradite.
19
@16: just be grateful there's only one guilter (so far) on this thread. and the more obsessive ones have rationalizations for every one of @11's points. there's no reasoning with them.
20
@19...true on all counts.
21
On the Media had a story about this case last week and the reporter they interview lays out a pretty convincingly what a shit show the trial was. Even if you think Knox is guilty, the story reporter Nina Burleigh lays out shows the prosecution and British and Italian media were after Knox from the beginning no matter what evidence.

I wasn't sure how to lean, but after listening to the story I just don't see how Know had anything approaching a fair trial.

OH EXPLOITABLE
23
Charles + Amanda Knox story = creepy, inhumane fixation
24
@18 sure (3) It was a separate trial for Guede, Knox and Sollecito's trial started a couple months later. Guede was on trial, not Knox.

(7) the evidence in question, the bra clasp, was in Meredith's Room, because it implicated Sollecito, not Knox. It was also in Meredith's room for about a month and a half, because there were warrants and petitions to keep the room sealed. When the court allowed the Carabinieri to enter the room, again, they picked up the clasp.

Waiting for the next hysterical accusation...
25
Mudede is clearly biased against Knox in this case. Would it be too much to ask that The Stranger assign another person to report on this?
26
@24: oh good, ferret's here. now this will get settled.
27
Stop giving her attention.
28
It could still be a selfie if her camera has a timer on it.

That being said, we need to let her get on with her life.
29
@28: i don't think italy or the kercher/tabloid complex are going to let that happen, no matter what slog does. the animosity will never end until the guilters die off.

witness @27, blaming knox for attention-seeking for fighting back in the court of social media. she's not miley cyrus - this shit is real.
30
@6 - you would judge Italy's court system over ours? Please.

31
Charles, you have always been a fair reporter of the Meredith Kercher murder, something unusual in the USA where the Knox/Marriott PR offensive has the media by the throat.
For those commenters who have not yet realised how much of an own-goal this ugly portrait with its lying message is, take a trip over to Twitter.
This is the beginning of the end of the Marriott offensive. The BBC (the major broadcaster of the English-speaking world) will be showing a three part documentary on the Meredith Kercher case starting Monday February 17th.
TRUTH will out!
32
Good god you people who seem to know every single action/non-action she made while in Italy are really creepy. This is like the Kennedy conspiracy theory all over again.
33
@32

This case has been in the media since 2007. The Pacific Northwest Media has been reporting on it, from the beginning. As much there has been much hyperbole on all sides of this case, there is also much disinformation on this case.

There is also money to be made in being an advocate in this case. Much like Candace Dempsey has tried to make a living being an advocate for this case rather than an objective reporter, (which she never was one in the first place) There also been a pretty big PR campaign against those who have tried to be objective and report about what was actually presented at the trial, as bias reporters, like Andrea Vogt.

It is a sad case, like all murder cases. Much like many media saturated cases, the case brings its share of freaks to the travelling circus from both sides of the debate.

When accused of MURDER, Knoxy the shit-unflusher never ever accepted to be interrogated either by prosecution nor by her own team of lawyers - she never agreed to testified ! Ever ! And now she posts on twitter that she's innocent ? Hey sweetie, why didn't you tell that to the judges when you were in front of them, and accept to ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS ???

Delusional Knoxy thinks twitter and facebook will judge her better than professional judges... Wrong on all counts you shifty MURDERESS of a brighter-than-you'll-ever-be European student !

Amanda and Raffaele Perugia HATES YOU

Knoxy hasn't paid yet REAL INNOCENT Lumu…
35
Charles still can't believe the black man did it.

Please wait...
