getting high and hooking up isp college student. to the average american tourist, this looks like an idealic mountain town full of art and churches. if you spent a little time there and you read italian, you start to realize every single headline is about drugs, it s about gang violence. everything looks so calm and tranquil on the surface. it s a lovely little town in italy and terrible evil is being committed. this is something that the tabloids can feast on. amanda knocks never thought she would become fodder for the tabloids. when she arrived in perusia in 2007 as a 20-year-old exchange student italy seemed like a dream come true. she was a junior at the university of washington. she was good with languages, and she decided she was going to take her junior year abroad. she enrolled at the perusia
case got going, it had a life of its own. when we turned on our televisions my head is all confuturesed. the incident has left me very confused. there wasn t an american college student in italy being paraded on a perp walk, and that was absolutely a shocking image that went viral. if she was an ugly girl, would we have a different feeling about her? let s not forget the real victim in this case is meredith kircher and her family that continues to grieve. we need to find out what happened. for the tabloids, however, meredith kircher wasn t the story. this was all about amanneda knox. in the amanda knox case the media played an enormous role. this was a case front and center. here she was an american on their soil.

amanda knox had gotten 11 ear piercings that week. she went into the other bathroom. not the bathroom that she uses all the time, but the other bathroom to get a hair dryer and blow dry her hair. at this point amanda s story takes an odd turn. there she found feces in the toilet, which kind of grossed her out because it was a nice, clean house. those particular roommates that used that toilet were the cleanest women in the house, so she couldn t figure out why didn t they flush the toilet and thought it was really weird and creepy, and she did not flush it. she went back to her side of the house for breakfast. people find that very hard to understand. the explanation is that she was young and innocent and a little bit naive. in her words she was stupid about it, but stupidity is not a criminal offense. amanda tries calling meredith several times. in another odd twist, the police arrive a short time later. they re investigating the theft of two cell phones that were register
amanda nox s request to leave us alone. raf yell tried to move on with his life as well. i think that he feels very ambitious about the justice system and continues to feel very bittered because of the length of time that this has taken. he understood that amanda was innoce innocent. he came to the united states and spent a few days with her. their relationship was over. they are obviously bound together by this bizarre experience but they are not boyfriend and girlfriend any more. amanda knox signed a deal but her nightmare was not over.
