Fate of Amanda Knox, former boyfriend now in the hands of Italian jury
This week’s blog focuses on the trail of Amanda Knox, an American student who went to Italy and is now accused of murdering her roommate in a “sex game that went bad”. The prosecutors are saying that Knox got mad that her roommate, Meredith Kercher called her offensive things and decided to kill her as revenge. The most damaging evidence that the Italian court has is a knife with the victim’s blood on it and Ms. Knox’s DNA also on it. They say after participating in group sex, Ms. Knox slit Ms. Kercher’s throat. Even though everyone is saying that they have the wrong people, the case is now in the hands of an Italian jury.
All the parties involved in this thing are really messed up for life. There is a young woman that’s dead needlessly and there are young people still on trial for a crime that is horrible. I mean can words really reduce us to this? I feel this relates to my topic because women are often the ones that are put on trial and this definitely feels like a case of this because you don’t really hear about the two men who were also on trial but you definitely hear about Ms. Knox. I wonder even if she’s not found guilty, how will her life play out because she’s been in jail for so long, will she be able to readjust? I do know that she won’t be able to have a normal life again which is sad.
