ROME — Amanda Knox was “very anxious” as Italy’s top criminal court heard arguments Monday from prosecutors appealing her acquittal in the murder of her roommate, her lawyer said. “She’s carefully paying attention to what will come out,” attorney Luciano Ghirga said as he arrived at Italy’s Court of Cassation. “This is a fundamental stage. The trial is very complex.” ------ Knox, now 25, and Raffaele Sollecito were arrested in 2007, shortly after Kercher’s body was found in a pool of blood in her bedroom in the rented apartment she shared with Knox and others in the university town of Perugia, where they were exchange students. Her throat had been slashed. Knox and Sollecito were initially convicted and given long prison sentences: 26 years for Knox, 25 for Sollecito. But in 2011 the appeals court acquitted them, criticizing virtually the entire case mounted by prosecutors in the first trial
After nearly four years behind bars, Knox returned to her hometown of Seattle and Sollecito resumed his computer science studies.
If the court does throw out the acquittal and orders a retrial, Knox wouldn’t have to return to Italy, as there is no requirement for defendants to be in court.

If you read what Ann Coulter said in her review of the evidence, the girl and her boy friend killed the girl. ??
I am not a republican I am a conservative, and supporter of the rule of law. And refuse to support any of Roves dopes.

I pay very little attention to Coulter daily but I went just now and read the article. Interesting. No matter what three things seem to be clear.
Knox is a flake of the first order. Italian cops suck at their job. Perfect Law and Order story.
What?

Excellent synopsis.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
