i'm not sure how many of you are interested in this or how many of you have been following it, but i have been right from when i first heard about it a few years ago.. they were each sentenced 25 years and 26 years for the murder of british student meredith mercher, but after a dramatic appeal, today, they have had their sentences overturned and have been given an immediate release, because the evidence suggesting that they were guilty was not strong enough to support that verdict.. i always thought them both to be innocent, and this is true justice for the poor girl and guy after being locked up for 4 years for somehting they did not commit, however, it does still leave an unsolved riddle.... who killed meredith mercher if not these two?.
the strange thing is, amanda knox apparently originally claimed she heard screams from meredith and hid in a different room in the house whilst it happened, but that stroy had changed to "i was never there" which is what i think too, given the facts.. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3850483/amanda-knox-is-not-guilty-of-killing-meredith-kercher.html.
what are your thoughts?.
JT, Im simply quoting from a Radio show, dont shoot the messenger!
I acertain that nobody will ever know the full truth about this horrific crime.
I accept that certain sensationalist aspects of the media have distorted the truth. Certainly here in the UK at least.
I think it could be a possibilty that Knox winked at her solicitor and it wasnt captured on the tv cameras.
I thank you for pointing out Knox does the splits as a form of relaxation yoga, I wasnt aware of that. I wonder why the presenter of the radio show used that as a quote today.....
I still think Knox is a lying manipulative witch.

Just listen to some excerps from the case on Radio 2......Knox is on her way to the UK before flying out to Seattle.
Apparently, Amada Knox was doing cartwheels and the splits before she was due for her final appeal (witnessed by several people).....strange behaviour.
The whole Knox family whooped and screamed with joy at the verdict. I think this was totally insensative to Merediths family.
Merediths family sat there stunned and tearful......and Knox was seen winking at her solicitor.
If Knox is innocent, shes right to be free. I think shes a lying manipulative witch personally. Shes gonna be very rich. The Americans will have already cast the lead actress in the starring role, there will no doubt be a book.
Meanwhile, Merediths family are "back to square one" and have to once again live through the horror and accept the possibility their daughters killer could still be at large.
A very disturbing and thought provoking story to be sure. How does one ever get over the murder of a child? never I suspect.
hi, folks,.
i had a good laugh at broken promises' question back on the uniter - part 1 (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/216396/1/the-uniter-part-1-it-was-sent-with-my-declaration-of-war) where he asked where i live so that he'll know who it is when some crazy old man goes nuts and instigates a mass killing.
t'ain't gonna happen.. nonetheless, i guess i can understand where he's coming from.
Hi Tom!
My sister took my nephew swimming last week, hes 6.
He said he need to go pee urgently, so she whispered "Pee in the pool, nobody will know"
He promptly got out of the pool, stood on the side, and peed!
Im still laughing. x

Lovely post!
Live well. laugh often, love much
as an ex-jw do you tell people about your jw past?
how much detail do you go into when you tell non-jw's about the organization.
i usually only ever say anything if somebody asks about my religious affiliation or mentions jw's.
I would be honest and open if asked a direct question. I dont go around condeming them constantly because they dont deserve the space in my brain.
*Holding a grudge is like letting someone live rent free in your head* a good quote. Hard to enforce as at times Im so angry about the borg and what they get away with.
Im tired, goodnight all, its 12.20am here.
i called my sister today and they said "we were shunned today.
" normally this is a bit of a non event after all how many faders get shunned on a regular basis.
i asked who it was and they said "big sis" now this is a shock.
So sorry Nugget For you and your sister
We can only hope that the other sister will have the lightbulb moment before she devotes her whole life to this despicable cult.
hi everyone.
as a parting gift to you all before i take a much needed break from this forum, i thought you would be pleased to know that the independent, a leading uk newspaper, will be publishing a piece on the "mentally diseased" watchtower article in tomorrow's edition.. i would like to thank everybody who has assisted the journalist, jerome taylor, in his investigation.. best wishes to all of you,.
cedars.
Looks like we will spread the good news to all the inhabited earth first then!
And we didnt knock 1 door!
Happy days!
even though i was raised a witness, i was never convinced that the end would be in 1975 or even in my lifetime..
Very true exwhyzee......some part of me deep deep down hopes this isnt all there is, and maybe, somehow, I will see her...maybe. I still feel her, smell her sometimes, you know that feeling you get, when peace comes over you as the person pops into your mind? Its been happening a lot these past few days for me....smelling her baking, her perfume, lots of butterflies around (her thing). Yes, I know theres a logical explanation. But the yearning to hold her again, that will never go away.
Anyway, dont mean to derail the thread everybody...sorry.

Its tastes like chicken.......thats too cute!
I have my one and only grand-daughter aged 2 every saturday and sunday, weve been swimmming today. Like you, I have these amazing little moments with her that brighten my day like nothing else.
By the way, Hi, weve not spoken before, nice to know you (sort of).
