Amanda gets an incredible reprieve from the Italian courts — her appeal was successful! We’re so happy!
Amanda Knox, who was convicted in 2009 for the 2007 killing of her roommate Meredith Kercher, has been cleared of her crimes in Italian court after a successful appeal!
Also cleared as innocent was her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito. Meanwhile, drifter Rudy Guede is still behind bars for the crime, although he too has maintained his innocence.
Amanda, 24, is already being pursued by superstar journalists such as NBC’s Matt Lauer and ABC’s Elizabeth Vargas to tell her story, the New York Post reports.
After the trial, Amanda’s sister Deana thanked the legal team outside the courtroom after the verdict. Troubling, crowds chanted “Murderer!” and “Shame!” as she left the courtroom.
Furthermore, the Daily Mail speculates that her memoirs — which she wrote in prison — could go for top dollar, and that several movie studios are hoping to move forward with adaptations of her life for the big screen. All of this could earn Amanda quite a payday!
What do you think, HollywoodLifers — are you so excited that Amanda is free?

There was rye bread on the knife you dummy. As for the “blood” that was a pink substance Italian authorities spray to LOOK FOR blood. It works the same way as Luminol does here in the US. The so-called evidence in this joke of a case was manufactured. The bra clasp wasn’t found for 6 WEEKS but you actually believe that was there the night Meredith died? And if you are going to mention Mr. Simpson’s trial, it’s O.J. for Orenthal James, not Ojay.

All you have to be is a white fairly pretty, and you can get away with anything even murder. But when you have murdered a human being you always have that look in your eyes and Amanda Knox have it for life! Her DnA was on the knife all they did was pull an Ojay surrounding the gathering of the dna evidence, the black man was convicted and sent to jail, of course!

You know OJ Simpson was found not guilty in the criminal trial, right? He was not “sent to jail” for murder. Additionally, Amanda Knox spent four years in prison. Your comments about race and looks may have merit in some cases, but you should get your facts straight before spouting off otherwise you discredit yourself before you even get going.

She is definetly innocent. There isn’t a doubt in my mind. I would bet my life on it. the poor girl and her ex boyfriend were not involved. any one who researches this case would see that she is innocent. there was no evidence against her. this entire case was a joke. the corrupt prosecutors should be punished. poor girl, in jail for a crime she didn’t commit. Rudy guede Murdered Meredith. his dna and blood was all over the crime scene and inside Meredith. he is in jail. justice is served. thank god, Amanda is free. she is innocent.
