Straw man. No one said it was a small backwards country. No one discussed the 'age' of Italian law. No one discussed Italy not being part of Europe. Irrelevant.
Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights is a provision of the European Convention which protects the right to a fair trial. In criminal law cases and cases to determine civil rights it protects the right to a public hearing before an independent and impartial tribunal within reasonable time, the presumption of innocence, and other minimum rights for those charged in a criminal case (adequate time and facilities to prepare their defence, access to legal representation, right to examine witnesses against them or have them examined, right to the free assistance of an interpreter).
1.In the determination of his civil rights and obligations or of any criminal charge against him, everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time by an independent and impartial tribunal established by law. Judgment shall be pronounced publicly but the press and public may be excluded from all or part of the trial in the interest of morals, public order or national security in a democratic society, where the interests of juveniles or the protection of the private life of the parties so require, or the extent strictly necessary in the opinion of the court in special circumstances where publicity would prejudice the interests of justice.
2.Everyone charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law.
3.Everyone charged with a criminal offence has the following minimum rights:
(a) to be informed promptly, in a language which he understands and in detail, of the nature and cause of the accusation against him;
(b) to have adequate time and the facilities for the preparation of his defence;
(c) to defend himself in person or through legal assistance of his own choosing or, if he has not sufficient means to pay for legal assistance, to be given it free when the interests of justice so require;
(d) to examine or have examined witnesses against him and to obtain the attendance and examination of witnesses on his behalf under the same conditions as witnesses against him;
(e) to have the free assistance of an interpreter if he cannot understand or speak the language used in court.

You said when you decided and stated that the Italian court rooms are nothing more than kangaroo courts. You are dismissive of a culture and legal system that spans back thousands of years..
purplemer
Please elaborate what does law look like to you. American law was influenced by Roman Law until the legal system sold itself out to money..
More straw man deflection.
The length of time Italian law has been around is irrelevant.

Please peruse and explain to me what if anything you consider to be lacking.

I have no intention on providing you with the evidence that she is guilty. ... I prefer to stick to the cold hard facts of the case and the cold hard facts of the case have proven her guilty of murder..
post the evidence showing her to be guilty of murder.

FlyersFan my friend that lives in the ATS severs I have no intention on providing you with the evidence that she is guilty. I am sure you are capable of ussing a search engine just as much as me. If i posted the evidence we would enter a discussion of the evidence it would be to no avail. I prefer to stick to the cold hard facts of the case and the cold hard facts of the case have proven her guilty of murder..
Really you can keep her I dont mind. She can walk a free murderer in the land of the free..
Nothing more just than justice..
purplemer
You have failed to show in anyway why she was not granted a fair trial. Heck you didnt even comment on it..
... and what EXACTLY are those cold hard facts that prove her guilty. Go ahead .... we can't wait for you to enlighten us as to how the 1,000 year old court system is infallible and incorrupt, and how they got it right with this .... give us the evidence.

5th request - GIVE THE EVIDENCE that this woman commited the crime.
purplemer
Flyersans love. I think I need to educate you a little here..
The Roman Empire and Roman Law are far older than a thousand years.
Lets get back on topic. The cold hard facts will be available if you choose to use google and find them.
I already did .. and I posted links to the 'cold hard facts'. Address the facts ...
This is a discussion forum ... so discuss it. Give the evidence that Knox committed the murder.
How many times have I asked you to back up your statement ... seven now?
Snarl
Did you want evidence of her guilt ... or 'proof' that she committed a crime? Let's be specific.

Never mind evidence - where was the motive?
