Meredith Kercher trial: Amanda Knox’s family “very hopeful” of acquittal
This current even article is in regards to the college student accused of killing her roommate, Meredith Kercher, while studying aboard in Italy in November of 2007. This trial has been going on for quite some time in Perugia, Italy. Amanda Knox’s, alleged killer, is raining hopeful but still keeping their guards up. The jury is supposed to have a verdict within the next few days to end this year long trial. Knox pleaded innocent and told the jurors in Italian that she did not want to be branded an assassin.
This whole situation is sad on both sides. I do not have a strong opinion as to if Knox really took part in killing her roommate because I have not followed the story long enough. She seems genuine in her testimony but at the same time I would be doing all I could to not go to jail in a foreign country if I were her too. This is just one of a few stories in which an American student studies aboard and either goes missing or is killed. Studying aboard should be a great experience and it is sad that this kind of thing keeps people from going.
