Amanda Knox

So the Italian Court reversed itself again. I'm telling you. This isn't funny. Nope this is scarey. Brand of Justice, is vindicated again. And you may of been wondering why I wrote the book.

a. Of, relating to, or characterized by intrigue; scheming or devious

As USA Today notes, the Knox saga has grabbed headlines around the world, with the University of Washington student being portrayed "both as a she-devil bent on sexual adventure and as a naif caught up in Italy's Byzantine justice system."
With the conviction, Knox and Sollecito's case will return to the supreme court. If the verdict is upheld, Italy could seek to extradite Knox to serve her sentence. This process could take months, and according to legal experts, the U.S. might challenge extradition on the basis of "double jeopardy," a defense that forbids a defendant from being tried again for the same crime after an acquittal.
