Amanda Knox breaks down with joy and relief as her four-year ordeal ends as murder conviction is sensationally overturned

Quote
Amanda Knox was sensationally released from prison this evening after an appeal court overturned her murder conviction - sparking chaotic scenes as her family erupted with joy.
There were screams in court as Knox, 24, burst into tears and hugged her parents Curt and Edda Mellas - as just feet away the family of Meredith Kercher could only look on in amazement.

The American has served four years of a 26-year prison sentence after being found guilty in 2009 of the brutal sex murder of Meredith, 21, who was found semi naked with her throat cut in her bedroom of the house she shared in Perugia, Italy.
Computer studies graduate Raffaele Sollecito, 27, her ex-lover, who had also been accused of carrying out the murder, was also freed.
Amid the chaos Knox was actually found guilty of slander and sentenced to three years in jail - but as she had already served four years she was freed immediately.

^ From that Daily Mail write-up:

Quote
Questions about the reliability of the verdict were raised during the original trial with many agreeing that the case would not have even come to court in Britain as it was based on half baked theories and a clearly botched investigation.

I would have some comment on that but I'm effectively speechless.

I know what you mean. Their approach to appeals is quite interesting too, 6 jurors, 2 judges - surely that would effectively avoid the ordeal and expense of retrials if we were to deploy a similar method here. Then again, I'm sure 2 judges could be quite persuasive in decision making but it's worth a thought at least.

As we are all aware of the part the tabloid press has played in a number of MOJ cases, the Luke Mitchell witch hunt being a prime example, this article http://tabloid-watch.blogspot.com/2011/10/mailonline-makes-up-events-quotes-from.html should come as no surprise...

Hello you wee rascal.  Long time no see. Out of curiousity is there anyone that you would give the benefit of doubt or is everyone as guilty as sin and should be burned at the stake?   :P

You'd be great on a jury wichfinder  ???  You're the fantasy juror of every corrupt investigator.. I assume you just don't believe that anyone can go to trial and be innocent.

Where have you been anyway?

A flamboyant prosecutor, a trial that is more theater than anything else, a paucity of facts, her emails showing the nature of her relationship with the victim clearly erased by the Italian "experts"... a vengeful prosecutor and a vengeful and wealthy family of the victim that wanted to ensnare Amanda in the case. Hardly justice.

Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito’s acquittal challenged by prosecutors

Quote
Italian prosecutors have filed an appeal against the acquittal of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito for the murder of the British student Meredith Kercher in Perugia.
 
Knox and Sollecito were initially handed 26- and 25-year sentences for the fatal stabbing of Kercher, who was found partially clothed with her neck slashed in her apartment in November 2007.
 
The pair were acquitted on appeal last October after a court ruled that Knox had been pressured to make compromising statements during interrogation and that key DNA evidence was poorly handled.

An attempt to save face I suppose, I don't think that principle is unique to the UK
