And that is the nut of it, Kevin. The presumption of innocence is critical to those of us who live in a country that made important modifications to the system of laws that were brought here. This isn't a popularity contest or a referendum on what US citizens get away with, it is about a life or death matter, and a tragedy for these families. Some of you are so tiresome in your obsessive need to attack everything about the US. I don't know if Knox is guilty of murder, or at least is complicit. I suspect the latter, but that does not matter. By every international standard the primary evidence used to convict (DNA) was tainted and unreliable. Period. Without it the prosecutors could not overcome the presumption of innocence. Some of the attitudes here are very insulting to the Italian judicial system.

Would that everyone had the grace of the Kercher family. I ache for them.
