Exactly! That is what the parable of the workers in the vineyard is all about. Those who came and worked at the last hour got the same pay. The same salvation will be given to those who convert at the last hour/second.
 
I have seen this explained as follows: Amanda was questioned for over 50 hours. The police were demanding answers to things that she had no clue about. The victim was found with African hairs in her left hand. They pressured Amanda to confess to a crime that she did not commit, for hours, even resorting to hitting her. After hours of interrogation, as one person put it “she was not Joan of Arc” and collapsed under the pressure, naming her African boss. That, coupled with the fact that she had a text on her phone from earlier in the evening that the Italians could not understand in the American context. Her boss told her there was no need to come in to work that night and she texted back OK and “See you later.” They wanted to know why she would see him later and what it meant. The simple explanation that it was just an American expression that did not specify a particular time in the future was incomprehensible to the people questioning her. If innocents hadn’t been jailed for four years, the police incompetence would be “laughable”.

If Amanda had been involved in killing Meredith, the violent manner in which the victim was killed would mean that Amanda’s DNA should be all over Meredith’s room and body. There was not ONE speck of Amanda’s DNA in Meredith’s room or on Meredith (the scene of the crime). The evidence points to Rudy Guede acting alone. The prosecutor is under investigation for corruption already. Research Mignini, especially the case in which even a middle-aged American man crumbled under Mignini’s interrogations. Imagine the pressure on a 20-year-old.
Commenting on the “see you later”, I would say it is the English expression of a very common expression that I bet exists in all languages. I checked and it’s translated in italian “A più tardi!”. I don’t think they would have had problems translating “see you later” and intepreting it wrongly.
 
Dear Peggy in Burien,

Cordial greetings and a very good day.

Whilst Miss Knox’s behaviour was bizarre and grossly insensitive during the days and hours following the murder and she made herself the obvious focus for suspicion, it admits of no doubt that she was the sad victim of a miscarriage of justice. We should indeed rejoice that she and the other chap have walked free from court.

The forensic evidence, in particular, is disgracefully flawed. Indeed, the fact that numerous basic errors were made, both in gathering and testing the samples, rendered the entire prosecution case unsound. A British judge would have thrown the case out of court. As a result of the Italian investigative team’s appalling incompetence, two young people have languished in prison for four years. Some serious questions need surely to be asked.

Of course we must remember the Kercher family also in our prayers at this time, as yesterday must have been an exceedingly difficult and unhappy day for them. Four years after their cherished daughter followed her heart to the Italian hills, they are still uncertain as to why she met such a tragic end. There are many victims in this very sad affair and nobody has really ‘won’.

Let us pray for Miss Knox that on her return home she will be able to cope with all the attention that she will undoubtedly receive and that with the passage of time she will, hopefully, resume living the life of a normal young woman.

Warmest good wishes,

Portrait

Indeed.
And especially for the bolded part (my doing). So would an American judge. Or a Canadian judge. Or any judge in a country with a legal system that does not have Italy’s idea of “You’re guilty, & we’re keeping you until you prove otherwise”. The Napoleonic Code is :mad:disgraceful; no civilized country should be working under it in the 21st C…
Her footprints were not in the blood. This was brought out in the recent appeal. They did find footprints of hers, but the Prosecution had only implied that they were in blood. In fact, test showed that they were not bloody at all. All physical evidence against her was shown to not apply in this case, hence it was all thrown out in the appeal.

Bare footprints in one’s own apartment are hardly unusual. If Judge Napalitino believes they found bloody footprints of Amanda Knox then he hasn’t really followed the case.

Peace and God bless!
That was actually the 1st thing that “smelled off” to me about the case: How can you find someone guuilty based on finding evidence of** her presence in her own** home??

Thank you!!🙂

Like the thief on the cross…
 
she looks like a spoiled brat, she is involved somehow, her wild ways will get her in trouble again…and she will burn in hell which will wipe that cute smile off her face !!

i am sick of these people wasting everyone’s time and money because they cant keep their pants on for five minutes !!!
Wow, talk about an uncharitable and unChristian post… :eek:
 
Okay. 🤷

This site looks to be run by people that have it in for Knox. There is no official link between any authority and this site. It certainly doesn’t look like a reliable site.
On the injustice(name removed by moderator)erugia site, they refer to the people who run that other site that lisahiku posted and the people who go on message boards repeating things about Amanda and the crime scene that have been proven false as “guilters”. They are determined, no matter how definitive the DNA evidence is in exonerating Amanda and Raffaele, to slander these two innocent people all over the internet. Notice how lisahiku doesn’t answer the question about how Amanda could have been involved in such a physical and violent attack and leave NO DNA in the crime scene (Meredith’s room) or on Meredith? That shows you that they are not interested in truth.

From injustice(name removed by moderator)erugia:

"This may be the first time that you have heard the word “guilter.” This word was coined by a friend during an online discussion regarding the case. The word guilter stuck with me.

What exactly does guilter mean?

A guilter is someone that believes in the guilt of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito regardless of any evidence that is presented proving otherwise. A guilter will continue to believe that Amanda and Raffaele are guilty long after they are acquitted. Guilters are people that bought into all of the lies that were leaked to the press from the beginning of the trial to the present. Guilters continue to spread these lies long after they have been completely refuted.

Some guilters simply refuse to admit they made a mistake. For more than two years, guilters have been posting savage lies against Amanda Knox and her family.If they were to face the truth now, they would also have to face the fact that their behavior has been deeply unfair. Guilters will lie at all costs to hold on to their precious reputation."

Yes, they did because in Italian they don’t say “See you later” to mean just “Goodbye”. In Italian it means that you will see the person at a specific time in the future, making plans to see eachother. Amanda was saying goodbye for the night, not making plans to see Patrick later that evening. The police could not comprehend because it may translate literally into Italian to you, but it does not mean “goodbye” in Italian.

Oh Lisahiku WILL answer the question about how Amanda could have been involved in such a physical and violent attack because Amanda’s DNA WAS found at the apartment and on a knife. Why is amanda K’'s DNA deemed contaminated but Rudy’s deemed NOT contaminated? Same handlers.

And who is to say injustice(name removed by moderator)erugia is more reliable than true justice dot org?
 
AK also changed her story at least 3 times.

WHy does everyone think AK is so angelic? She was CONVICTED of falsely accusing her boss, a black man, of a terrible crime. She never once apologized.

Why should I think she is so innocent? Her lack of character speaks volumes.

Amanda’s DNA was not found anywhere in Meredith’s room (the crime scene) or on Meredith herself. There is no way that she could have had a violent, physical encounter with Meredith and leave no trace. Her DNA wasn’t “contaminated”, it wasn’t in Meredith’s room or on Meredith at all. Rudy’s DNA is all over the room, in bloody prints on Meredith’s purse on her bed, his bloody handprint is on Meredith’s pillow, his bloody shoe print is in the room. Where are Amanda’s and Raffaele’s footprints in the room? There is no way that Amanda could have committed this crime and then cleaned up every trace of her DNA in the room and on Meredith but left Rudy’s. Rudy said he was there on the night that Meredith was murdered and that he was with her as she lay dying, yet he never called for help. Instead, he stole her money, went out to a disco and then fled to Germany.

His landlady was looking for him for the rent. He had a motive to steal Meredith’s money. He was found at a Milan nursery school, having broken in and stole a knife around a week before the crime in Perugia. Amanda had no motive to steal from Meredith because she had, I think, $4,000 in her bank account and $9,000 in reserve with her parents.

Rudy originally said that Amanda and Raffaele were not there the night of the murder and that an unknown man came in and killed Meredith while Rudy was on the toilet. He later changed the story to include Amanda and Raffaele.

The knife that was randomly chosen out of Raffaele’s kitchen drawer was used by Amanda to cut bread for dinner. So, her DNA is on the handle. The tip does not have Meredith’s DNA. It actually has rye bread on it. It was determined that that knife could not have been used in at least two of the knife wounds on Meredith. It’s the wrong size. Also, the murderer (Rudy) left the imprint of the actual knife that he used in blood on the pillow.

The injustice(name removed by moderator)erugia.com site is more credible than yours because it refutes all of the lies and myths that sites like the one you refer to continue to spread, despite the fact that they were proven false and were not used by the prosecution in the original trial for just that reason. If the prosecution did not use that “evidence” because it was false, why would you believe that a website that continues to promote false information was credible? Take for instance the washing machine that you refer to:

Lie- Amanda and Raffaele used the washing machine to destroy evidence.

Truth - This is another case where the police misinformed the media. In Richard Owen’s November 25 report mentioned above, he says police heard the washing machine spinning to the end of its cycle when they arrived at the cottage. Other media reports repeated this claim. The stories varied from article to article. As it turned out, there was nothing incriminating at all in the washing machine. Meredith had clothes in the washer. Nothing in the washer had been worn at the time of her murder. Meredith had simply been doing laundry. There was never any mention of the washing machine running when the Postal Police arrived, at the trial. This was another myth that spread throughout the media.

The reason that Amanda gave Patrick’s name is that the police were looking for an African suspect because Meredith had African hairs in her hand. So, they knew someone of African heritage was at the crime scene. They misunderstood her text on the night of the crime, when he texted her that there was no need to come into work that night because it was slow and she texted back, OK and “See you later”. This idiomatic expression in American English simply means “goodbye” but to the Italians, it does not mean “goodbye” to say see you later. It means you have plans to get together. This misunderstanding, coupled with hours of interrogations led to Amanda finally agreeing with the story that the police had already concocted. They put into her mind that her boss was going to “see her later” and that he committed the crime. After over 50 hours of questioning, sleep deprivation, no legal representation (and being treated as a suspect when she was there as a witness), she was tired, hungry and confused and started to believe the suggestions that the investigators had placed in her mind. She quickly corrected that mistake and told the police she thought it was wrong, but they ignored her correction and arrested Patrick Lumumba.

This was a miscarriage of justice. Amanda and Raffaele are innocent. The evidence shows that’s true. Thankfully, you were not on the jury. They are free and they should be.

Is this really true? Italy is a democratic country and member of the European Union, European Commission, Council of Europe, OECD and other bodies. It seems doubtful that they’d be able to get away with such miscarriages of justice. She could go to the European Court of Human Rights at any stage and lay a case against the Italian State if she was really maltreated.

She could, but she would have to return to Italy. Prosecutor Mignini has already been convicted of illegal phone tapping, abuse of high office and dereliction of duty in a previous case. He should never have been allowed to prosecute this case in the first place.
 
there are still a lot of unanswered questions.

you have your website, I have mine.
