An American in Italy, guilty of murder –The Star, Saturday Dec.5th

Amanda Knox, in a drug, alcohol and deviant sex frenzy, took an active part in the killing of her roommate Meredith Kercher. Only the killer’s identity was ever in question, and is now, beyond reasonable doubt, established.

I find it incongruous that the American media, in unison, are excoriating the Italian court, police and society in general, while defending and excusing the accused and now convicted killer. Little is heard about the victim and her family, and their pain caused by this evil trio.


I cannot but think how this story would have played out if the “shoe was on the other foot”; if an Italian citizen had murdered an American girl. The press would no doubt be then extolling the fairness and impartiality of the American justice system, after which they would find her guilty and sentence her to death.

“Deported to her death” –Star Oct 23/09

There is probably more to this story than state in the article. While, paraphrasing John Donne, “anyone’s death diminishes me”; this woman, Grise, was here illegally and in hiding from Canadian authorities, claiming danger if she was returned to Mexico. Yet, having been raped and impregnated there in the past, she voluntarily went back home to Mexico into the “lion’s den”, ostensibly to visit a sick grandmother. She is then killed in the same place, likely by drug gangs. Are you telling me that this “innocent” woman were just a passerby –twice? This story is too farfetched even for the most credulous. More likely, she was part of the drug operations, and paid the price for running away.
