By True North on the post 'Oregon's David Wu: Another Opportunistic American Congressman Who Takes An Anti-Italy Stance'.
Washington State Judge Michael Heavey along with the three opportunistic politicians, Senator Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., U.S. Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash. and Oregon Congressman, David Wu have injected themselves into this case for their own self-serving gain.
While greedily hitching a…

I asked myself why the heck David Wu would be concerning himself in something like this, that doesn’t involve anyone he represents and which he doesn’t actually have any business commenting on in an official capacity (in a personal capacity,…

David Wu should read Ted Simon’s earlier comments about the evidence against Amanda Knox before he was hired by her family.
He should also acquaint himself with the facts of the case. He’s probably completely unaware the fact that Guede…

Wu does he think he is?

This comment posted by a fellow New Yorker (not by me!) below the post and that letter quoted above rang very true.

The radiant, joyful girl in the top photo progressively morphs into the vacant, plastic doll on the couch. It is a pity she chose the excitement of the “adult” world and lost her natural, beautiful soul.

Is it just me or do Knox and Peterson both look alike?
I’m talking about their physical looks like their eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and hair?
Its scary to think someone can be so normal and then them end up…

@Peter,
Excellent points on another tragic story involving drugs.
I don’t think that Americans (or is it just the Knox/Mellas clan?) realize that the US gov’t does not interfere with the justice system of another country, especially an ally of…

Thanks Mojo. That looks like a good book that could be relevant to our case.
We have reason to believe that it would not be hard to find acquaintances of Knox around Seattle that would speak out about her…

ann bird also wrote a book about her brother and her family which was less than supportive

Peter,
It’s been almost 3 years since the tragic death of Meredith Kercher and I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to you and all those who have contributed to TJMK during this time.
TJMK aims to serve true justice…

Hi Nell. I know from insider info that you are right on all those counts of odd behavior. Some of it at least is in the forthcoming judges’ report and ALL of it really should be in books on the…
By Nell on the post 'Master Manipulators, Masks, and Murder: Parallels Of The Amanda Knox And Scott Peterson Cases'.
Besides all the weird behaviour from Knox already mentioned by former posters, I also remember that the police officer who interviewed Raffaele Sollecito and Amanda Knox together the first time, stated Amanda Knox instead of pulling up a chair for…

@innai:
Thanks for the link to the article in the Economist - it’s very true that, lacking funds for a decent legal defense, you are in big trouble in the USA if you break the law. Oprah did get…

Hi Lola. It was postponed. Not even in Italy well reported.
We do need more details. Seems now everyone is either at the beach or headed there! The Mediterranean countries (where air conditioning is still rare by US standards…

Just wondered whether any Italian readers had any further information on the charges and court case described above?

guistizia, thank you for a very interesting post. I was not aware of the Peterson case.
While Knox’s supporters have repeated the line that “this would never have happened in America!” - Knox is very lucky that she didn’t commit…

Hi Innai. Knox’s supporters seem singularly clueless on the law and how evidence and juries work. One or two of our lawyers looked at their sites and emerged shaking their heads remarking what a complete and total waste of time.…

Fascinating - even if you leave the two horrific murders aside, it is interesting to see both the parallels and differences in the way the two cases have been handled by the media and how they have been perceived by…

Hearty applause for a lot of work in comparing these two, giustizia.
I always felt a little sad when I heard about all Scott Peterson’s gift-giving to people and his kinder aspects. It’s the sad reality that there’s good…

Giustizia,
Thank you for your excellent comparison and analysis of the Amanda Knox and Scott Peterson cases.
By saskia on the post 'That Pesky Confession: Now Joran Van Der Sloot Is Trying Hard To Backpedal'.
Maybe initially Anita van der Sloot could morally get away denying her sons involvement in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.
Thanks to all evidence left by Joran, there is no way she can deny his involvement in the murder of…
