Good old Spudgun lol..

I'll honestly have a dig around tomorrow Sue..I'm now hooked lol x

Blimey !!! There's a lot to this one isn't there !!! I've done a little reading on it this morning ....can't believe I didn't follow it more closely !!!

.........trying to be impartial but it's very hard when stories get changed so early on !!!!!

I'll never forget the scene outside the apartment where Meredith was murdered - in the background was Amanda Knox with her then Italian boyfriend hugging each other and gazing into each others' eyes - no sign of trauma or sadness - they were totally detached from what had happened to their friend - I found it quite disturbing - so she's telling the truth!!! well why didn't she tell "this truth" in court rather than put it in a book

Ann, this whole tragedy made me so damn mad at the time and my feeling of injustice really did peak (I thought) when the appeal was upheld. This latest money making book telling the 'truth' is just rubbing salt into the very raw wounds of the Kercher family.

i thought at the time she was guilty,
i thought at the re trail she was guilty,
i think her writing a book is very very very bad taste, and even if she isnt guilty, she should be thinking of "her best friends" family,and what they have already been put through.

having said that, shes only human and being offered an obsene amount of money, to tell her "story" and they say money talks, :-\ even if i dont think its right.

If this is accurate it gives a good idea of the timing and background of events

The Publisher would not have put up the money unless the sales prospects are great - guaranteed by us gullible purchasers & licences for summaries in national & international newspapers.

As to the accuracy of the narrative, let's not forget that the world is sprinkled with untrustworthiness, deceit & double-dealing. It will not be easy to reconcile the conflicting testimonies - assuming we are really bothering to try.

I will not be reading it, the main sales will obviously be in the States where she is feted everywhere. No doubt Dermot it will be syndicated to all US magazines and TV channels.

Personally I'd like to see a boycott of all books that make money for an involved party in a murder.
