It's interesting to me how the truth got lost, and how uninterested people are in the aftermath. The real killer ended up with a sentence almost half the length of what Amanda Knox got. And he is already out of prison. Italy's justice system is very different from the US's, for better or worse.
- soheil 5y ago> Italy's justice system is very different from the US's, for better or worse. You clearly mean worse based on your previous sentence. Mind shedding some light on those "differences" for the uninitiated?
- rootusrootus 5y agoI do not mean worse. I mean different, with 'better' and 'worse' being subjective. Rudy Guede is 34 years old, out of prison with decades more life to look forward to. After cutting short the life of Meredith Kercher at 21, some people would argue that he should pay with more of his own life, maybe all of it. In the US, obviously, there's a good chance he'd never get out of prison.

- bonzini 5y agoThe sentence that Knox got was zero, how is it half of 16 years? You can't compare a definitive sentence with one that was overturned. (Also the real killer got a 1/3rd automatic reduction by accepting summary judgment instead of a full trial).
- bitexploder 5y agoShe was wrongly imprisoned for 4 years. And had to spend 8 years of her life fighting to be free. So, yes, 8 is half of 16. They basically took her 20s from her.
- bonzini 5y agoShe was convicted and imprisoned for calumny.
