Subject: RE: Murder/Manslaughter-Amanda Knox acquitted(3-10-11)
John Kercher said in the Daily Mirror today that the family are "shocked" and were wondering if anyone else would now be brought to justice. 

He told the Daily Mirror: "It is ludicrous. How can they ignore all the other evidence?
"I thought the judge might play it safe and uphold the conviction but reduce the sentence. But this result is crazy.
"There were 47 wounds on Meredith and two knives used. One person couldn't possibly have done that".

There is an additional question, Knox made a false accusation against Lumumba, in full awareness that he was working at the bar at the time. As a consequence, Lumumba lost his business and his life has been greatly affected.

I suppose that in the same way as Guede, Lumumba doesn't have the resources, social and financial, to pay for 'justice' - better lawyers, or someone who will take the time to investigate further. Had they been in the USA, the 'compensation culture' there, would have taken up their cases, and I would like to see what the result would be the be for Knox.

American overseas intervention 1. Justice 0. Same result, different country, but again, sadly expected.
