I have no idea whether the State Department intervened to avoid hand to hand combat with the Italians when waiting for Knox to be exonerated.
1. The idea is generally ridiculed by those who started as nay sayers to her innocence. Furthermore, it is then proposed that this would make her more likely to be guilty if such intervention had been needed.
2. However, I hold the view that a smart culture like the American should never allow another culture like the Italian, to make a dog's breakfast of a simple case, and kidnap their citizen.
3. I understand the ISC created precedent with this last minute exoneration, and wonder why.
4. My conclusion is there was political interference at a high level to avoid profound embarrassment to the Italians, when the body of evidence showing what comprehensive errors were everywhere, was explained trans Atlantically by the American courts, in the inevitably doomed discussion of extradition.
Remember, respected members here like Machiavelli said many times the Italian government was bound to seek extradition if a guilty verdict was confirmed.
John Kerry said he would do his duty if required to comment. What duty was that to be?
I find this question some what more interesting than the pending motivation report.
