I did not say she was guilty. I was simply pointing out that a lot of peeps here may well be defending a murdered. Regardless of nationality a murderer is a murderer and if the Italian courts deem that a retrial is needed then a retrial should take place. Someone died here under horrific circumstances and if guilty she should pay the piper.

I am glad there is to be a retrial. Hopefully, this time they get to the bottom of it.
Guede did it.
A conviction has already happened in this case .. and it's not Knox.
Amanda Knox was mistreated by the Italian police and Italian courts.
She wasn't given an interpreter .. food ... water .... medical care ...
She was railroaded by the tabloids.
railroaded by the tabloids? into what?

Being imprisoned for 4 years for a crime she didn't commit.

The evidence that convicted Rudy Guede was just as tainted as that that led to Knox and Sollecito being freed. The investigation was badly handled from the start. Guede could be guilty or innocent, same as the others. As the trial was flawed from the start, we do not know.

the fact that she is not willing to go back and fight the case is rather unnerving as well.

More than one person can be found guilty of the same murder you know? duh!

Maybe there is now, hence the need for a retrial.

There wasn't any evidence pointing to Amanda Knox, you know? Duh!
Why do you think it is highly unlikley that they have not found any new evidence? Why would they even bother with a retrial if that was the case?

I thought Italy was a civilized country. Why are they going to try the same person for the same crime they were already acquitted from? And like you say, apparently there was not enough evidence to convict her, but there was enough evidence to convict someone else. Now to come out and want to try her again is just ridiculous, especially since someone else has already been convicted. There has to be something going on behind the scenes, such as pressure from somewhere, unless some extremely damning, new evidence was found, which I highly, highly doubt. All she has to do is avoid that country for the rest of her life. I would not want to go to a country with a justice system that is even worse than that of the US, especially if you do nothing wrong and find yourself in jail.
