Amanda Knox is Found Guilty of All Charges in Italy

[InformationGeek]

I haven't been following this case, but from what I can tell, the results are not very good and the case against her was very weak at best.  There is a big uproar on the Internet already and want to hear what you guys think.

I think if she wasn't so cute the media would give this zero attention.

I don't know who that is or what she was charged with.

Interesting story.  It does appear there is absolutely no corroborating evidence at all, and the case was based entirely on supposition.  I wouldn't convict on that, at least not on the American Jury system's standard of proof. 

Reading about the events surrounding her initial questioning and changing story, I'm reminded of one bit of legal advice I've heard a few times.  Never talk to police when being questioned at the station without talking to a lawyer first and having them be present.  Ever.

Bears repeating.  Whether you're innocent or guilty, if you're suspected of having committed a crime, no good can come from talking to the police without having a lawyer present.  (This statement applies only to the American legal system, of course, though I would assume it applies to other legal systems as well).
