Knox hits back at Piers Morgan.

"Occasionally I joke about my wrongful conviction & imprisonment in Italy. I'm allowed to joke about my own trauma. I didn't joke about the Kercher's. I didn't kill Meredith. Rudy Guede did, & you know it. Stop exploiting Meredith's name to victim blame me. You're pathetic."

Right. Rudolf Hess liked to make quips about concentration camps now and again. Very droll I am sure. How could anyone object?

Firstly, I think you would need to have a serious personality disorder to carry out a 'thrill kill' on your room mate. This is something inherent in a person's make up, so I shouldn't worry if I were you that you'll ever be facing charges of Aggravated Murder.

Some critic who disapproves of such behaviour would be the least of your worries.

If nothing else, you've now offered perhaps the fifth motive for the murder, and a full 13 years after the horrible act. There is no evidence at all that this was a "thrill kill", but there is evidence that this was Rudy Guede's lust which caused the murder.... as in what the 2009 court found:

Massei in 2010 said:
It is not possible, however, to know if Rudy went to Meredith’s room on his own initiative, almost subjugated by the situation which he interpreted in erotic terms(the two young lovers in their room and Meredith who was on her own in the room
right next to it) or, instead, he went to Meredith’s room at the urging of Amanda
and/or Raffaele.

This Court is inclined towards the first hypothesis.
It cannot see, in fact, the motive for such an invitation on the part of Amanda Knox and/or of Raffaele Sollecito.​

But there are sum who, 13 years after the fact, keep trying to re-jig their guilt-hypothesis for some unknown, strange reason.

Why is the "type of person" she is (or isn't) even relevant? Why is that even interesting 13 years after the horrible murder?

Lumumba spent two weeks in jail (not knowing when he'd be released or exonerated) because of the false accusation of Amanda Knox.

No, he was kept because Mignini/Napoleoni would not have him released. Mignini regarded Knox as a liar, yet the one thing he believed was the Lumumba story planted in her brain. "She buckled and told us what we already knew," was the way De Felice had put it.

The police then kept his bar closed, denying him a livelihood.
 
Bill Williams said:
Thus the title of her book.

What is it with people? Remember Hallowe'en 2011? She was pilloried for dressing as a cat burglar, criticized mercilessly for insensitivity to the Kerchers on the, then, fourth anniversary of the latter's death.

Two problems.

1) It was not the anniversary. That would be the next day.

2) Knox, in fact, had dressed as her favourite Seattle Sounder soccer player, who happened to be a Frenchman. She had on a Parisian tam, and drew a curly mustache on her lip.

But why let an opportunity pass to shame a stranger, and have the Tabloids make some money off of Kercher's death - even four years later.

Guede broke into the cottage, stabbed Meredith to death, sexually assaulted her as she lay dying, stole from Meredith and falsely accused Amanda and Raffaele of being at the cottage when he killed Meredith. There is no condemnation directed at Guede but Amanda on the other hand is condemned over what she wears and a tweet.

She was in prison at the time and had much bigger problems to worry about so I doubt she had any idea who was contributing funds.

Regardless, are you suggesting she should have been vetting every contribution and returning those made by people who had differing political views? How irrational of you!

BTW, do you have evidence that she did not thank Trump? Just curious...

Lumumba spend 2 weeks in jail because

1) Knox was coerced into making a false accusation because she was
a) denied the right to a lawyer who would have stopped that line of
coercive questioning.
b) denied an impartial interpreter who, instead of merely interpreting,
acted as an agent of the police and suggested she had amnesia
whenever she denied having anything to do with the murder, that she
wasn't there, and did not meet anyone including Lumumba.

2) Mignini kept Lumumba in jail even though

a) he knew within the first few days that there was no evidence of
Lumumba anywhere in the cottage.
b) he was relying solely on the word of Knox whom he considered a "liar".

Sheesh! Most people even spending one day in jail would have a nervous breakdown. You don't see Lumumba as a real person do you? Yet Knox on the other hand...

Reveals a lot about yourself.

Most people spending a day in jail would have a nervous breakdown? REALLY? The need to make such a ridiculous claim is truly bizarre! But I have to admire your attempt to distract attention from the obvious: you can't argue the facts I presented so instead you go for the racist dog whistle of "You don't see Lumumba as a real person do you?" Reveals a lot about yourself.

Was he running for president in 2007-2014? Why, no...he wasn't. You might want to think before you post. You'll save yourself a lot of embarrassment.

Mignini directed the investigation and the police. They did nothing without his approval.

Does Vixen see the people she has falsely accused of crimes as real people.
 
Some comments on YouTube prompted me to take a look at the Milani report again. I must admit to being a complete techno-numpty in these matters; however, it seems to me that the report states in the "summing up" section that Raffaele's laptop doesn't go into standby mode until 5.32 am the following morning. M/B consider the computer evidence as a "failed alibi" but they don't mention the fact that it never goes into standby mode. Unless I'm mistaken this means that the computer needed user interaction to keep it from going into standby mode. Is this a certain alibi or is that just too simple in a case this complex to be credible?
