In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: Italy's Highest Court Overturns Amanda Knox Murder Conviction [View all]liberalhistorian
(20,822 posts)46. I remember a couple of them
insisted she was guilty because the Kerchners were convinced she was guilty, therefore that was good enough for them. Facts and tainted/no evidence be damned. It was all about the Kerchners and what they believed. But the Kerchners only knew what the corrupt prosecutors and police told them, frankly, and of course they're going to want to believe them. No amount of reasoning was getting through to them. They were like prosecutors who must have a conviction no matter what, even if it was the wrong person. Disgusting.
