Did gold digger kill her elderly boyfriend?
Amanda Knox, Turning Cartwheels
Friday, Feb. 27 2009 @ 10:43AM
Who knew child-like joy could be found in the wake of the knife murder of a roommate? Italian police giving testimony in the Knox trial today have indicated that Amanda Knox's 'inappropriate' behavior after her roommate was found brutally murdered wasn't confined to just cuddling with Raffaele Sollecito. From the AP/Fox News: "Italian investigators testified Friday in the murder trial of an American student and her former boyfriend, with one saying the American turned cartwheels in the police station after the killing..." Wow. If this is true, well, yeah - it gives a whole new meaning to the word 'inappropriate'.
What I find interesting in this weekend's testimony is the confirmation that Knox was not subjected to 14 hours of intense and uninterrupted interrogation before she finally broke down and made a "false confession".
Nor was she deprived of food, water or other amenities.
In fact, Knox was not even required to be at the police station on the night of November 5, but rather went along voluntarily. It was her then boyfriend Sollecito who was asked to come in for further questioning.
Finally, and despite rumors to the contrary, I can assure you that people in Seattle do not generally do cartwheels or yoga bends on every possible occasion, out of boredom or to relieve stress. But I can see how people might get the wrong idea.

Posted 03/01/2009 at 10:24:57 PMAmanda may or may not be guilty of murder, but she did display inappropriate, distasteful, and suspicious behavior in the wake of her roommate's death. Not the smartest move on her part...
Doing cartwheels is an odd reaction - why couldn't she do push ups like everyone else who needs a stress reliever?
But we wind up, of course, with the three pronged test:
1. Is it possible for someone to do cartwheels and NOT be guilty of murder?
Posted 03/10/2009 at 03:28:21 AM2. Is it possible for someone to NOT do cartwheels and to still be guilty of murder?
3. What makes this woman different from every human who has ever lived on earth?
How interesting! It is written that Susan Atkins (Manson Family murderer), turned cartwheels in the jail, after she was arrested, as well......
Posted 03/22/2009 at 03:06:04 AMI read in today's Seattle P-I that you "outed" Chris Mellas as the culprit behind aggressive posts on his step-daughter's murder trial. Chris manages the computers at my wife's company and has FAR bigger fish to fry than doing battle with every anonymous, lookie-loo freak who posts BS in online forums. There are 400 people who work there. POSSIBLY, it was one of those people, all of whom know and love Chris and see the living hell his family's life has become, who decided to get tough on his behalf. Knowing some of the people and their desire to see this sleazy circus over with, I can certainly understand. It continually amazes me that people who post to these lighter-than-popcorn blogs actually think that A) they add anything to the "dialog" (the REAL dialog is something with which they have exactly ZERO involvement) and B) that the real people, facing real tragedies, SHOULD give a rat's azz what they think.
GROW UP. This is real life with real consequences, and it's being lived through, day after agonizing day, by the Karchers, the Mellases, and the Knoxes. YOUR opinions don't matter one single atom's worth.
Posted 05/28/2009 at 10:33:01 AMDear Mr. Body,
Posted 08/31/2009 at 06:46:10 AMWith all due credit to your wife's employer, there is very significatn evidence linking Amanda Knox to her roommate's murder.
Therefore lumping the Kerchers, Mellases and Knoxes together is an insult to the murder victim's family. Losing their daughter in such a brutal fashion is not to be compared to the suffering of the alleged murderer's family.
