A. Knox

(Absolutely, I may be wrong. I have only seen still photographs, and various videos of her lasting approximately 30 seconds each. But, my experience is that very often your first impression of a person is correct. Sometimes, that impression is made after only a few seconds, and without any speech. Maybe, it is a subconscious evolutionary adaptation.)

Anyway, let me know if you expect a psychopath to not be convincingly sincere, and to not gain a "cult" of devoted followers, who are "immaculately" convinced of his/her sainthood, when he/she is trying to save him/her self. They are the one person that they do have empathy for, and, they are by definition, great mimes.

Meredith Kercher was found in her apartment with her throat cut.

Police say Knox told them she covered her ears as Meredith screamed.

Police say Knox kept changing her story (I think her final story was that she and he boyfriend were not there.).

Knox's DNA was found near the handle of the knife. Meredith's was found on the blade.

Rudy Guede is tried and sentenced to 30 years. On appeal, his sentence is reduced to 16 years.

Knox claims she was beaten by police.

Knox says she accused her former boss, Patrick Lumumba, due to police pressure. She is convicted of slander for it. (That conviction is upheld upon appeal, and she still must pay a fine of 20,000 pounds. Lumumba is suing her for defamation.)

During her trial, Knox addresses the court, and calls the accusations against her, "pure fantasy".

After she is convicted, Knox's family launches a giant PR campaign.

Knox's conviction is overturned on appeal.

A number of times I saw pictures of Knox smiling in court.

I never heard of her expressing any sorrow for Meredith Kercher.

But, the one person she never failed to express sorrow and outrage for, was herself.

She is totally innocent, and has been perfectly honest about what occurred?

The overturn of her conviction had nothing to do with political pressure?

Just from what is publicly known about her, she doesn't fit many of the traits of a psychopath?

This article (link below) is a good one (I swear, this whole thing stinks.).

"Knox's behavior in the hours after the killing raised eyebrows and continues to raise questions about why she would display such apparent disregard after her friend had been brutally murdered.

The American turned cartwheels and did splits at the police station as she waited to be questioned by police, according to investigators and Kercher's friends during the first trial. They said Knox sat on Sollecito's lap, making faces at him, crossing her eyes and sticking her tongue out, while giggling and kissing him.

A lingerie shop owner testified that he saw Knox and Sollecito kissing and hugging in his shop the day after Kercher's body was found. He said Knox bought a G-string and talked about having "hot sex" once the couple — who had been dating just a week — got home."

Upon hearing that she is acquitted -
she cries for whom?
