Last involvement in this thread as no point continuing as we seem to be at polar opposites. However, at the risk of repeating myself, the victim here is Meredith Kercher not Amanda Knox.
Do you honestly not think her family deserves justice? There is enough doubt from both the original trial and from the Appeals Tribunal to warrant a proper retrial.
It really is that simple - the family deserve to know the truth. What has happened so far has meant that has not happened (which i admit is down to the Police and to the Prosecution).

Outside of America I think most people have a 'gut' feeling that Knox is guilty, typical of the Italian police to bungle the investigation and let someone free who is probably guilty. Technicalities and mistakes made in investigation is how she got free.
The minute she (Knox) was allowed to step on a plane back to America I think most of us gave up on justice being done for poor Meredith as it is 1 rule for Americans and another for the rest of us when it comes to extradition.
The blind support for Knox in the American media has been sick to say the least.

there was still no dispute that the 37 different knife wounds were indeed administered by at least two different people and the Kerchers quite rightly want the answers to that amongst other things.

Perhaps not cartwheeling around police station and sitting on her boyfriend's lap after hearing about the murder of her flatmate and waiting to be questioned would have given the police a different perspective of her. Perhaps not sitting in court smiling and joking during her trial would have give the public a different perspective of her .
Perhaps not writing a book that will be made into a movie and lining up TV appearances after her appeal acquittal ....
Libby Purves, writing in The Times in December 2009, said "both evidence and reconstruction look pretty convincing" and described the American campaign for Knox as "almost libellously critical of the Italian court"

The Italian judicial system has to meet and adhere to certain standards as a member state of the EU.
The Italian police obviously think she is guilty otherwise they would not be wasting their time still trying to prosecute her. What possible reason would they have to continue to pursue her unless they thought she was guilty?

to claim it is obvious she didn't - would be denying evidence and embracing ignorance.
New trial is the only 'justice' and justifiable thing to the victims in this case, 21 year old Meredith and her family
