Today in the New York Times I read about Amanda Knox, an american who was being convicted of murder in Italy. Although I had heard about her case and the different sides around it, I was unsure exactly what happened. I still am not clear on the facts and I'm not sure if we will ever know if she is guilty or not. However, I have to say I always feel for the families of both sides. I'm happy that she is free and clearly the Italian government didnt have enough hard facts to convict her. One thing I did learn is that in Italy you may be cleared of all charges but they can re-try you unlike here in the US. The pictures of her family rejoicing were nice to see.
