Amanda Knox Movie

Okay, first I apologize that I've hardly been here, just been really busy. But did anyone watch the Amanda Knox Movie last night?? I wanna talk about it! Here is what I think:

I think the movie made her seem guilty but the show "Beyond the Headlines" that came on afterwrads made her seem innocent.

There was a retired FBI agent whose wife made him look into it further just to prove his wife wrong (wife thought she was innocent, agent thought she was guilty) as he looked further into it he concluded that both Amanda and Rafaella had nothing to do with the case.

Some of his comments were that the knife didn't fit the physically wound on Meredith's neck. The DNA sample that they got was so low that it should've have been admissible. The DNA could only be tested once which means during that testing it could have been contaminated... numerous things could have happened. It also isn't conclusive because it was so low you're basically saying we have DNA of a female who has blue eyes and brown hair which could be anyone. Having a higher amount of DNA allows you to pin point it to an individual.

The agent also said that there was no way that Amanda and Raefella could have selectively cleaned up their mess. (no DNA was found of theirs in the room except for Rudy, the 3rd guy). Also Raefella's DNA was on Meredith's bra clasp was really low and they didn't collect until 6 weeks later.

I also think that just because their behavior wasn't "normal" (aka they weren't mourning) doesn't mean they are guilty. People react differently to situations.

I don't know if she's guilty or innocent, I just don't think she got a fair trial. Those were my 2 cents

Re: Amanda Knox Movie

  • I saw the movie (recorded on DVR) but I only saw a part of the Beyond the Headlines one.  I got mixed feeling from the movie, and want to see the Beyond the Headlines show. 

    They did say that they didn't find Amanda's or Rafaella's DNA at the crime scene.  I found that odd.  As bloody as the crime scene was, you would think there would be some speck of evidence? 

    Then the Rudy guy confessed to killing her and said that the other two weren't involved.  I don't know, but I need to do more research before I come to my decision on guilt or innocence.

  • I didn't see the movie, but read the huge Vanity Fair article that came out a while ago, and she definitely seemed innocent.  It's kind of bizarre that they made so much of her not 'mourning' the roommate, when they apparently didn't really get along.  Not that it wouldn't be shocking if your roommate were murdered, because of course it would be, and it's sad, but you have to look at the circumstances in full.

  • I recorded it and beyond the headlines on DVR and am going to watch it tonight. I was watching the bachelor instead. haha

  • I watched most of it but went to bed during it and have the after show on DVR too. I plan to finish it this afternoon. ITA with you about the movie (from what I've seen) making her seem guilty. It definitely seems like that gov't is more skewed than this one but who knows.

  • She only knew her roommate for 2 months and it didn't seem like they were getting along at the end before she died so idk why people made a big deal that she wasn't mourning like everyone else. The girl was pretty much a stranger.
  • I didn't watch it...no cable.  But I've been hearing a lot about the movie and whatnot on the E board and also on MSN and Yahoo.

  • Is it bad that this movie made me want to go to Italy????  I've always wanted to go to Italy and it's on my bucket list.  Watching the movie reminded me of how much I want to travel there.

  • I read a big article about it (maybe the VF one) and while I didn't feel prepared to make a decision, even an unofficial one, about her guilt or innocence, I was shocked at how differently things work over there.  Apparently the crime scene was badly mishandled, and their justice system operates more on the idea of 'guilty until proven innocent', which seems extremely unfair to the defendant.  It makes me terrified to get mixed up in anything in another country, even if I'm innocent.

  • for anyone who is interested I found this website that has articles written by Steve Moore who is an ex-FBI agent and why he believes she's innocent.
