Italians sort of screwed the pooch on their prosecution and evidence.  This was 
a railroad and sensationalist circus from the start.  If the italians has done 
a proper job of looking deeply into the crime, I am sure the outcome would have 
been very different.

As it is, the poor girl spent four years locked up. We may never know for sure 
if she did the deed, or if some other evil doer was ultimately responsible.  
Amanda will make a mint, her folks may get some of the cash they spent on her 
defense back, but nobody will get their lives back.

BTW, she went to the same high school my kid did.  The teachers and those kids 
who knew her provide a fairly good set of character witnesses.  She was not 
evil.  She was a standard kid who did standard kid stuff.  Smart and well 
liked, not known to engage in antics.  

If she picked up some other behaviors while at university, I can not comment, 
but she should have had her act pretty together to get into the university, and 
to go to Perugia for study.  May be that the Kirchner girl got herself into 
something she should have been more careful about, and it was easy for the 
italians to pin it on the gringa girl.
