Job,
Why is telling the truth ever a problem? She lied. How do I know she lied. She got caught. Patrick Lumumba had an airtight alibi. Why are you trying to excuse that behavior? She may be young, but she is an adult and lying wouldn’t be tolerated here either. All her problems stem from the fact that she made a choice and tried to deceive the police. And for what? To protect her boyfriend of two weeks Raffaele Sollecito or the drug dealer and grifter Rudy Guede? That’s the part of the puzzle I’m most curious about. Why lie for these two? I’m not anti- Amanda Knox, but it bothers me when so many people jump on the band wagon and blame the Italians for all her troubles without acknowledging that she did some very bad things and made choices that reasonable people wouldn’t have taken. We coddle our young too much.
Good points all, Cait! At least somebody gets me.
