Amanda Knox is a good example of national bias rearing its ugly head (just one type of factionalism). However even as a Britisher, it was obvious to me that the conviction was not safe and the prosecution's story did not really add up. So therefore you have to go with innocent until proven guilty.
Had the national situation been reversed I have no doubt there would be plenty of Americans who would insist on her guilt. The vast majority of people on both side were not coming at this from an objective position.
However to be honest I have little sympathy, her behavior was appalling, she was guilty of falsely implicating a man she knew was innocent, and perverting the course of justice. These are crimes in their own right, and she has shown little remorse for them. Probably the time she has already served is enough, I don't know.
On the other hand the obsession on her exclusively was disproportional, her odd behavior included.
It also occurred to me that although it is not likely that they had this encounter with Guede, it is possible that they encountered the crime scene in a different way that described, and didn't have the wherewithal to leave it in situ.
The really tragedy is the Rudy Guede has been able to manipulate the system to get less time.
