Re: Amanda Knox verdict coming at 6PM
I've followed this one extensively for the last couple of days.
Unfortunatley the case is far from over - Knox's family is going to appeal which may take up to year. The prosecution have went on record and already said that should a subsequent trial find her innocent, they will then appeal. It could be an endless cycle according to italian law. There is something that can be done, an end to the proceedings called, but i don't know the word for it, and the article i read said that it has only happened about a dozen times in the whole time italy has been a country.
Extradition cannot happen as long as appeals go on, so as long as her family continues to have money, Amanda will remain free as long as the appeals are ongoing... Also, U.S. legal experts have stated that it is extremely unlikely that an extradition request from italy would be honored. My gut says that she is safe... Legal experts here all contend that there was not enough evidence to convict her the 1st time. This re-trial occured without any forensic evidence what so ever....crazy when you think about it
