All the hand wringing in the US doesn't point out the fact that if bad things happen in another country, you're subject to THEIR laws, not yours. One hopes the gal gets an appeal, if she is truly innocent. And I wonder who the 'real killer' is ? Or is OJ looking for them, too ?
cbelt, the "real" killer has already been captured and convicted, Rudy, the guy who fled to Germany and was later arrested and tried for murdering Kercher. Many outside observers have concluded that he was the sole attacker. Abundant evidence links him directly to the crime. There's no mystery about any uncaptured killer. He's already in custody, and serving a sentence.
The degree of involvement by Knox and Sollecito is murky, and hopelessly tainted by a sensationalized tabloid portrait of a wicked American vixen murderess. The prosecution insists Knox is the "mastermind" of the bad-girl, good-girl showdown that ended in a sexualized violent murder, led by Knox. Her defense maintains she was not involved at all. The real story? Who knows. It's a mess.
