Amanda Knox convicted...

The verdict came in and Amanda Knox was convicted of murder and sentenced to 26 years in Prison.

Here's the link...

Quite honestly, I believe she is innocent. If this case had happened here, she would have never even been tried. All the "evidence" against her was completely circumstancial, that any good defense attorney could stab a whole through.

I feel bad for her, especially since it has been reported that the jurors aren't like ours (pretty much we try to select non-biased jurors, emphasis on try). These jurors lived in the small town and already had their opinions.

Remind me not to go to Italy, since I think their pennial system SUCKS big time!!!!!!

I really hope that the U.S. steps in. All these other countries step in when one of their "citizens" is tried and convicted here in the U.S., it's only appropriate that we be "just as annoying".

Thoughts?
