The American woman Amanda Knox was arrested and jailed for the murder of the Israeli Meredith Kercher who was an acquaintance of hers. Supposedly there was a threesome sex game between the two women and a third man. Supposedly something went wrong with this sex game and Meredith Kercher’s throat was cut and she died.
“The case became an international media magnet almost from the moment that Meredith Kercher, a 21-year-old Leeds University student in Perugia on an exchange program, was found dead in her room on Nov. 2, 2007, her throat slit. A few days later, the police arrested Ms. Knox, her American housemate, who was also studying here, along with Mr. Sollecito, Ms. Knox’s boyfriend of less than two weeks, accusing them of committing the murder during a drug-induced sex game that had spun out of control.”
Because Meredith Kercher is an Israeli, the Italians were under extreme pressure to arrest someone. Especially under the circumstances. A story about an Israeli in three way sex games is headline news. The story makes Israelis look like sex perverts. That had to stop. And no one kills an Israeli and gets away with it. Even if someone innocent is punished. The locals must know that killing Israelis will result in punishment.
After years of being in prison Amanda Knox is going through a new trial. There is some small possibility she will be released because the goals of the Israelis have been served.
Someone was publicly punished for the killing of the Israeli Meredith Kercher.
Doesn’t matter if it was the right person. It only matters that the papers were full of the 25 year sentence Amanda Knox received for the murder of the Israeli Meredith Kercher.
The Italians are so desperate for the conviction to stick to make the Israelis happy, they have even charged Amanda Knox with slander for saying Italian police hit her.
Anyone who has ever dealt with police knows that police beat people. It would be the most believable and common thing in the world for the police to beat her.
