WELCOME HOME AMANDA!

She has been in prison, involved in the crazy Italian legal system for 4 long years. I have read books and followed this case in news programs detailing it over the years. I never believed she or Raffaele Solicito were involved at all. They were just two naive college students who got trapped in the Italian legal system by a Prosecutor who was being tried for corruption at the SAME TIME as their trial for murder was going on.

The murderer of Meredith Kircher is Rudy Guede whose DNA was all over the crime scene and who got 25 years in prison and then, on appeal and upon changing his story and testifying against these poor kids, got his sentenced reduced to 16 years. Crazy? Oh yeah!

It is over and I am so very happy for Amanda and Raffaele and their families.
For more info about this crime check out this blog by Candace Dempsey, a Seattle reporter who was in court during all the trials of Amanda and Raffaele and wrote a book on the subject with all the facts, MURDER IN ITALY. Her blog is at: http://blog.seattlepi.com/dempsey/
Oh, and my new headphones work very well!
