AH yes, the Who Framed Roger Rabbit defense. Genius.

Quote
A defence lawyer at the appeal of Amanda Knox compared her to Jessica Rabbit in her closing remarks on Tuesday.

Giulia Bongiorno, the lawyer for co-defendant Raffaele Sollecito - Knox's ex-boyfriend - described Knox as the voluptuous cartoon character "because she looks like a femme fatale, but she is a loyal and loving woman".

Knox is a weird person, regardless of her innocence or guilt concerning this case.

That whole case has been nothing but one huge mess from the start, on both sides.

Why would Amanda Knox, a 5 foot 6 American girl want to live in Italy with a British girl. THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!

someone asplain this case to me. i came in late a year ago, and according to (presumedly biased) local reporting, this has been one crazy attempt by the wop legal system to frame her, just so they can put the case to bed without looking like total incompetents. then i read a little more about amanda, and WAT

It was noted that Knox and Sollecito had consumed hashish and had been reading sexually explicit and violent comics collected by Sollecito, which were alleged to have influenced their behaviour

Yeah, from what I've been able to gather- bitch be crazy but is likely innocent?  Or at the very least the evidence is so shaky that you can't reasonably conclude she did it/orchestrated it.

Yeah, I don't think she did it. I think the Itlaian legal system is totally trying to save face.

What that said, Amanda Knox is batshit loony. Read any of Charles Mudede's articles about her at The Stranger for some fun fun good times.

That's labeled as fiction. I never said Mudede wasn't loony himself!

He taught at PLU while I was there. My friend had a class with him and ten years later she still wants to murder him.

Warhammer 40k books would probably freak them out- sure

"MAF, while clearly under the evil influence of five cans of Coca-Cola and the violence-porn Warhammer 40k books, killed Phoenix Dark in a fit of jealous rage. The argument began over which of the two was the love-interest of Twilight Sparkle."
