Amanda Knox : Fri Feb 17, 2012 12:08 pm  

I see that she's signed a $2.5 million book deal. I wonder what Meredith Kircher's family think about it.

There likely not very happy.

Is that the end of this thread?

I read somewhere the other day that the prosecution were seeking to appeal her acquittal, so there might be an extra chapter for her to write yet...

Yup. I read an article the other day that said they are very unhappy at the decision to release her and that in Italy the general consensus is that the appeal will be successful.

Why would anyone want to buy her book anyway?

would the yanks send her back though if she was found guilty or the appeal is successful?

Given the US's over-zealous approach to extradition (even of those with learning disabilities) for pretty low level crimes, it would be hypocrisy of the highest order if they refused to extradite someone in relation to a murder.

And as we know the Americans are never hypocritical.

Could the Kercher family bring a civil case against Knox, a la the OJ case, FA? Especially as it sounds like she's gonna be worth a few quid. Probably not in US seeing as the trial was in Italy?

Well, in England and USA certainly, but I have no idea under Italian law, and anyway I'm not sure the claim would be worth much. IIRC she was single, no kids and not working?

They'd need a good Sollicito, but I fear it Knox the likelihood of a Kercher-ing result on the head
