Additional Comments: Has anyone been following the Amanda Knox murder trial in Italy? I know the basic story, but I haven't been following the trial. I was just wondering if anyone had a feeling about whether or not she was guilty or innocent. She certainly doesn't look like a killer, but that doesn't mean anything.

Thanks for all of your responses! It's interesting that only one person below believes her to be innocent. The rest of us seem to be on the fence. It does seem that there's more to her than meets the eye, though. I just hope justice is served....

As she was previously a student at the University of Washington this story has been on the news a lot in Seattle. I have no idea if she is guilty or not as I am not sitting on that jury listening to all the testimony and I do not think we get the entire story on the news. Her parents have been interviewed on the local news (at one point it seemed like daily) and, of course, say she could never commit such an act. I hope they are right.

Yes, it takes spells of being on and then nothing for a long while. I'm not sure what to think. Like someone said below, I think she either knows something that she's not revealing or the Italian police are railroading her. I'm leery of the European investigative skills, don't ask me why, I just have a gut feeling that they know something, too or are not focusing on anyone else. e om/Jenny

I have been following this case since the beginning. The trial has just resumed after a summer break, so hopefully it will be over soon. The whole thing is so strange, and although obviously I do not have all the facts I have always thought that Amanda Knox is guilty of something. I am not sure that she actually comitted the murder, but I think she sure did something and knows a lot more than she is saying. If she is found not guilty I am quite sure that she will really be making huge bucks for the rights to her story. I smell a book a movie and countless talk shows.

I have not been following this case but I know about it from a couple of the news magazine type shows on TV. I'm on the fence regarding her guilt or innocence. I'm sure there is an awful lot of evidence or an appalling lack of evidence that may or may not convict her that we aren't privvy to.
