It felt like infinity.

The credulity for the Italian Prosecutors absurd theories ran high here, and those posters never gave an inch. She was a monster, a devil, a drug addict, a whore, her family were trying to bribe their way out of her guilt, etc. Many of those posters came here from England, where the delusions ran even higher thanks to ceaseless tabloid slander.

It's likely that many of those deluded souls remain so. Knox is very brave to return to Italy. I wouldn't suggest she go to England, either.
