Amanda Knox on trial in Italy

Story here. The media could not have a more winning formula for sensationalism and luridness. Excerpt:

'Amanda Knox is a riddle. The expatriate American student has been the mysterious, ambivalent Mona Lisa face plastered across television, websites and newspapers since a few days after Halloween 2007. According to Italian authorities and their partisans in the blogosphere where her case has been strenuously debated, behind her beatific smile lies a psycho hedonist capable of depraved murder. But family and friends insist she's just a granola-crunching athlete and honor student from Seattle who has, through bad luck, become the poster child for the perils that await American girls caught up in the dark side of Italy.'

As always, if Amanda had been Adam, would the article be written the way it is? Would there be so much 'controversy' in the case. No.

She's the freak that smiles in the court room.

If it is known Italy is darkness for girls, why did she go? Why did they let her? If a man did it they'd laugh at him for being stupid, then execute him. Then laugh again.
