April 30, 2013: The Butterfly Effect: How the trial of Amanda Knox, half a world away, made a bunch of Americans miserable, spawned a justice league, and maybe started a scientific revolution. Maybe.
When Fischer entered the fray, he found that a loose network of activists, including Waterbury, had been forming. Fischer didn’t have an area of expertise, but he did have time. In early 2010 he launched Injustice in Perugia, a community website that hosted analysis from advocates, updates for the curious, and forums for supporters.
April 29, 2013: Sam Leith: It’s Amanda Knox’s right to tell her side of the story
Is it seemly that Amanda Knox should make millions of dollars out of her memoir Waiting To Be Heard? Meredith Kercher lies dead. Is this not a cash-in; an insult to her memory? Well, she won’t be the first person to have made money out of Kercher’s death. A lot of lawyers have been compensated, a lot of newspapers sold, a lot of “friends” paid off and a lot of books have come out: such sober contributions to the historical record as Death in Perugia, The Fatal Gift of Beauty, Trial by Fury, Angel Face, Darkness Descending and The Monster of Perugia.

April 25, 2013: Good Cops, Bad Cops By Timothy Egan
The 102-hour sprint from the moment two bombs went off in Boston to the capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in Watertown, Mass., should be capsulized and sent to every law enforcement academy. Tireless culling of video images, apt use of tips and technology, and quick action by a fleet of cops showed both the risk and the range of good police work.
By contrast, we are reminded this month of the terrible price of bad police work. Amanda Knox’s book about her ordeal as a prisoner of coincidence for a murder in Italy and a documentary about five innocent teenagers framed for the Central Park rape case present a blueprint of official malpractice. Continue reading
April 23, 2013: Greed Continues to Fuel Patrick Lumumba's Hatred Toward Amanda Knox

Lumumba’s ordeal with police was cleared up within 2 weeks. Continue reading

April 19, 2013: “Burn Her at the Stake” Amanda Knox was acquitted of murder. Why do so many people still hate her so much?
The extreme viciousness of the anti-Amanda commentariage is startling. There are countless statements calling for the murdering, raping, torturing, throat-cutting, frying, hanging, electrocution, burning, and rotting in hell of Amanda, along with her sisters, family, friends, and supporters. Why? And why in general are there so many savage, crazy, vicious, and angry people on the Internet? Continue reading

May 20, 2013: Amanda Knox: Stop Making Sense
It is human nature to try to make sense of nonsense. In this day and age, every time we hear of another bizarre crime, our minds go to work trying to figure out how such things happen. How could a family man imprison three women for ten years in the middle of Cleveland, Ohio? We try to find the reasons. We engae in counterfactual thinking, consoling ourselves that the unforeseeable was foreseeable. If only the girls had not climbed into the kidnapper’s truck… If only the kidnapper’s friends had been more suspicious… If only the police had acted on the previous 911 calls… We don’t know that the horror could have been prevented, but we wish.

May 10, 2012: A (semi) literary review of “Waiting to Be Heard” by Amanda Knox

May 9, 2013: Amanda Knox: Still Being Victimized
Earlier this week, Chris Cuomo interviewed Amanda Knox for a CNN hour-long special. It is indicative of the feeding frenzy in today’s mass media that this highly promoted interview was run a half-hour late so that Anderson Cooper could report the latest lack of news about the salacious case du jour, the forced confinement for a decade of three women in a Cleveland house, allegedly by a 52-year-old monster named Ariel Castro. The fact that there were no breaking developments seemed to matter little. Continue reading →
