It took me quite some time to write this as the verdict was announced Friday and here it is Wednesday the following week. We will have to wait even longer for the reasoning from the court. According to sources I have read this means an additional 45 days.
While I do not agree with this final verdict, I am forced to accept it. I am glad it's over but, I am so very disappointed. It's Casey Anthony verdict all over again. Still, I wait anxiously to read the court's reasoning for making this ruling. It all seems to make no sense considering the evidence. It is near impossible for me to believe these two were not involved in this crime.
Pretty much everyone who has known these two are guilty are in complete shock. There are more questions then answers. How could this have happened? Was this a political decision? Was someone paid off? Did Sollecito's father pay for this judgement as he tried to pay for witnesses prior? It all makes no sense.
Here are Knox and her mother reacting to the decision:
Rough transcript (yes I'm being sarcastic, my usual a##hole self):
I just wanted to say that I'm incredibly grateful for being able to walk away free. You saved my life because I almost had to get hauled off to jail again. I'm still absorbing this moment. I can't believe these judges were so incredibly stupid. I'm so happy! I want to do cartwheels.
Knox's mom says she's so happy.
Oh yeah, better say something about Meredith..... ugh....let me see.....ugh...yeah, let me pause and get dramatic. Am I emotional enough? She was my friend. She deserved a lot but she f###ing bled to death and I'm the lucky one! I could just kill for a pizza! Hahahaha! Bye!
Yes, it amazes me how there were no tears and almost forced emotions when it came to talking about Meredith. Meredith was a complete afterthought for her and STILL she can only worry about Amanda. Yes, she was the lucky one indeed. She comes across so very fake to me.
I still cannot believe that so many people bought into the US media and the bizarre things they claimed concerning this case. The trial testimony is for all to see.
I want to hear what Rudy has to say. I really do. I wonder how he feels knowing that he will be the only one who will serve time for this murder.
I have much more to write but as of right now, I can only say that I will wait for the court's report. I have grave doubts about its accuracy and reasoning but at the same time I realize I have no other choice but to accept this verdict.
The ONE and only thing I believe we can ALL agree on would be that this process was way too long. It's much too long for the victim's family. It's also much too long for Knox and Sollecito's family. Yes, of course I believe completely in their guilt but a defendant does have a right to know their verdict. This was much too slow to be called justice.
