Knox convicted.

This article is about the conviction of Amanda Knox. I found it on msn.com. I am so glad this is over. In my humble opinion, we have had to endure this trial for much too long in the news. People kill people every day. What is the key factor that makes the media choose a single murder, and then inundate us?

Unfortunately, I have followed this story from the beginning. At first, I felt sorry for the girl. It seemed to me that she was an innocent, and the media were unfairly attacking her, because she was not a native of Italy. She is an American student who was studying in Italy, and she was being accused of murdering her roommate.

This story has drug on for two years, and while I feel sorry for her family, after seeing all the facts that have been presented, she does appear to be guilty. She has told more than one story about where she was and what she was doing the night of the murder. She has actually pointed the finger at an innocent man. In consideration of the facts that have come to light over the last two years, the drugs and sex and the confrontation with the roommate, I have changed my mind about feeling sorry for Ms. Knox.

It is a sorry state when someone murders someone else, period. But then to behave the way Ms. Knox has since the beginning of the whole thing, she is shameless. I hope that if they do go for the appeal, that she is still found guilty.

This article is one of the many reasons that I personally did not like the assignments. However, I understand point behind them. Also, I appreciated the fact that we had a vague subject matter so that I did not have to try to imagine something to write about. However, the current events today are either sad or ridiculous.
