"Knox supporters cheer appeals court's decision"

Once it was clear that Amanda Knox's Italian murder conviction was overturned, her supporters in Seattle burst into cheers, threw their hands in the air and began to cry in joy. Surrounded by news cameras, the dozen or so supporters began hugging each other at a downtown hotel suite. The celebration marked four years of uncertainty for friends and supporters of Knox's family. In its ruling, the Italian appeals court also cleared Knox's co-defendant, Raffaele Sollecito, of murder in Meredith Kercher's death. Kercher, 21, shared an apartment with Knox when they were both students in Perugia. She was stabbed to death in her bedroom. Knox and Sollecito, her former boyfriend from Italy, were convicted of murdering Kercher in 2009. Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison, Sollecito to 25. Also convicted in separate proceedings was Rudy Hermann Guede, a drifter and native of the Ivory Coast.

^ I have only recently started reading about this case and right away I could tell that she didn't do it. The Italian Government, Police, Lawyers and Judges should be embarrassed and ashamed that they did such an awful job when collecting the evidence. They did not follow standard procedures and rushed to convict Knox because she was American and lived in the same apartment. Those involved in the first trial where she was convicted should be investigated as anyone with half a brain can see that there was no DNA or any other evidence that Knox or her former boyfriend were in the victim's room yet there was no doubt that the guy from Africa was. I don't understand the victim's family saying that they are back to "square one" since it is clear the guy from the Ivory Coast was in the room and did it and is still convicted of the murder. It is only a shame that these two innocent people had to wait 4 years for Italian justice to finally work. At least now she is coming back home. I'm sure she will never go to Italy every again. ^
