67. It's not just the tabloid websites that are filled with ridiculous comments. I was

reading this story on the Guardian's website, and a good percentage of the commenters seemed incensed about the fact that Kercher's murder was going "unpunished."

These people don't even know who Rudy Guede is, yet they're convinced that they know details of the case well enough to be certain of Knox and Sollecito's guilt.

The press coverage of this story in the UK and continental Europe has been shockingly bad even from reputable media outlets.
