Amanda Knox Guilt

“There are those who believe in my innocence and there are those who believe in my guilt. There’s no in between and if I’m guilty it means that I am the ultimate figure to fear because I’m not the obvious one but on the other hand if I'm innocent it means that everyone is vulnerable and that’s everyone’s nightmare. Either I’m a psychopath in sheep's clothing or I am you,” -Amanda Knox. Amanda Knox was accused of killing one of her roommates in Perugia, Italy where she was studying abroad.

Everyone the police have as suspects to the murder claim that they are innocent. Amanda and Raffaele both claim they were together in Raffaele's apartment that night. Even the man in jail for Meredith's murder today claims he is innocent. Rudy Guede says he was in the bathroom when she was murdered. He heard a scream and ran to check on her. He then saw a figure in the window and then looked back at Meredith to find her dead. The case of Meredith’s death was so controversial that they had convicted two different people for the murder. First, they were convinced it was Amanda Knox. Because, Amanda had no alibi they said she was home with Raffele.

This was a step over police boundaries, because she wrote in her diary what they wanted to get, but the information didn't stay private it went out to the whole world. The media also mistreated Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito. They gave Amanda a terrible nickname. They called her Foxy Knoxy. They told lies about all the men she has ever slept with calling her even worse names than Foxy Knoxy. The title they gave Amanda made her seem like this sex obsessed person that wasn’t human at all. They also found the worst photos of Amanda and Raffaele. They had Amanda with the craziest look in her eyes with a machine gun. Then they had Raffaele dressed as a mummy with an ax.
