Amanda Knox, back in the spotlight: the implications of Rudy Guede
For those who followed the blog during its early days, you know the Amanda Knox situation has been a popular subject for us.
Well, she's back in our lives.
Rudy Guede, the Ivory Coast immigrant who is one of three being held for Meredith Kercher's murder, has implicated Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito as being present at the time of the murder.
Six months ago, this may have been a significant development. Now this just seems to be another ploy by the Italian police and court systems to hold Knox and her boyfriend behind bars.
I am one of the many who believes that Knox was involved in this in some way. But every day and every "convenient" development (Italy's Supreme Court was about to hold a hearing determining if there was enough evidence to keep Knox in custody) just makes this case lose any credibility.
I think it's fairly clear that neither Knox or her boyfriend are not breaking at this point. I think it's also pretty clear that Mr. Guede is guilty of something, judging by his fleeing to Germany after the murder and his willingness to change his story as often as he wants. Both of these facts point to us never really knowing what happened that night.
And now with Knox's parents becoming vocal, the mainstream media is only helping to dumb down this investigation. Do we really need to hear over and over that these parents don't believe their child is a sadistic, sex-crazed murderer. What parent would admit to that?
On top of that, why has no one ever talked about the poor girl who got killed? Know and her sleaze-looking boyfriend get all the press, when we really know very little about the victim.
This is going to continue for years. We'll most likely never be able to tell what happened that night, but there is one thing we can count on.
The "Amanda Knox" show is no where close to being cancelled.
