All the money in the world cannot but you innocence when you are guilty in Italy

How galling for the rich family of Amanda Knox, now convicted of the murder or British student Meredith Kercher, that running an expensive media campaign and spending over a million dollars during her defence, to find that the Italian legal system is not as flawed as the US system, and that money and fame does not ensure a not guilty verdict.

Now let's hope that the family of Meredith Kercher can get some peace, for despite all the fuss caused by Knox's family, it is poor murdered Meredith and her family who seem to have gone unmentioned in all this.

I was not happy seeing Knox smiling and laughing and playing to the gallery as though she was some kind of a celebrity. That photo of her behind bars does not show her laughing and smiling anymore. It is being reported that she was screaming when sentenced. Justice has been done.

It has taken two years to arrive at at this verdict.. I'm thinking that, even if Knox does appear her recent guilty verdict, she will be eating prison food for a long time in the future.
