I left law school for many reasons, but one of the most significant was being told by a professor, "The truth is irrelevant; it only matters what you can prove." Lady Justice isn't blind. She just doesn't want to see what's going on.

Im glad you bailed put of something youre wholly unsuited for. And found yourself in true crime, no doubt going sown a thousand rabbit holes

[@TheWchurchill4pm]

@LadyJGeek - I’ve heard that statement before, and I’ve always thought that it’s meant to illustrate the limits of human understanding. We are not omniscient, and we can only come up with the most accurate conclusions allowed by the facts we have. I think your professor was just trying to say that hoping you can definitely prove the truth is quixotic.

In Argentina we had a very similar case. A young girl, called Lucía Friend, was acused of having killed her best friend. The prosecutor convinced himself and also convinced media she was guilty from the very begining of the trial, altough no real proof was found to incriminate her. Many false stories were spread to damage her public image and incriminate her, including that she was a lesbian and she was in love with her friend, but her friend wasn't so she killed her. The prosecutor was so obsessed with Lucila being the murder, he sistematically refused to investigate other hypothesis and suspects, for example, a worker from a nearby building who had said inappropriated things to the victim and used to follow and sorround her. Altough Lucila was finally pleaded inocent by the courts, and serious failures in the investigation were found, the damage to her reputation was so deep she decided to move to Spain and start a new life far from her country and familiy.

The media is unethical for money, but people being ignorant is the bigger issue. Many people have no concept of critical thinking and logical reasoning. Intelligent people hold judgment, get all facts, then can proceed with forming an educated opinion. They know if confirmed facts are not available to them, they can not reach a conclusion to have an opinion. We have to many idiots who hear a few rumors, fill in the rest of the narrative in their own heads, then think they know everything about the situation, stating the conclusion as if it is fact. We know we have so many adolescents and young adults today who can't even differentiate between fact and rumor, knowledge or opinion, because their parents are idiots who set that poor example, not able to teach better. Many times it is a mental health issue, where they derive inner worth by hating and bashing people in cases, celebrities, etc., and that mixed with low intelligence is frightening.

[@MikeHunt-ir5rc]

In order to believe that Knox and Sollecito are innocent, you have to overlook the following: Knox's accusation against her employer, a claim she made after less than TWO HOURS of being interviewed (not 40, like Team Knox would have you believe - this is a proven fact) and stuck to for 3 weeks, letting her innocent boss rot in jail all the while. The fact that Meredith Kercher’s blood was found mixed inside Knox’s fresh DNA in 5 different spots in the bathroom. The fact the Knox was bleeding on the day of the murder, and left blood smeared in the bathroom, blood which she herself admits was not there the day before. Sollecito’s DNA on Meredith’s bra clasp - with a 16 loci match, the probability that the DNA belongs to someone else is one in a trillion, and with only ONE other DNA trace of him in the cottage (cigarette butt) the idea of contamination is near impossible. Knox’s DNA on the handle of the murder weapon and Meredith’s on the blade. Sollectio tried to explain this by saying he had accidentally pricked Meredith with his knife while she had been at his house. She had never been there. The THREE sets of bloody footprints, one a match for Guede, one a match for Sollecito, and one in Knox’s size, in her own DNA, mixed with Meredith’s. The single bloody footprint on the bathmat, which is a perfect match for Sollecito, and also, being the only bloody footprint with no others around it, is undisputed proof a clean up happened. The blatantly staged crime scene, with glass on TOP of the clothes strewn around, a near impossible window entry point, and not a single trace of Guede anywhere in that room, not to mention the fact Knox and Sollecito ‘knew’ nothing had been taken before anyone had even looked. The fact that Guede’s footprints lead right out Meredith’s room out the front door and he has an alibi for the rest of the night, meaning we KNOW it wasn’t Guede who returned to the scene hours later, staged a burglary, cleaned up and moved the body. The fact that Knox’s lamp was found in Meredith’s room with no fingerprints whatsoever - more proof of a clean up. The incredible amount of changes in her account before, during, and after she was arrested. Total lack of alibi after multiple attempts, and then Sollecito withdrawing his alibi for her. Her dubious account of her activity the morning after the murder, including her lies about Meredith’s locked door, her reaction to the blood, and the contradictions to this she makes in her testimony, email home, and in her book. The fact Knox knew several details about her murder she could not possibly have known: cause of death, position of body, that there had been more than one attacker, that Meredith had been assaulted etc. The frantic call she made to her mother in the middle of the night that she ‘forgets’ making. The witness who saw her and Sollecito by the cottage on the murder night. The shopkeeper who saw her when she claimed to be in her bed sleeping. Her overall behaviour after the murder. And I can go on, and on, and on. My point is that, whatever opinion people have as to their guilty or innocence, there is enough evidence to convict, and however many times those claims of “no evidence" are repeated, it doesn't make it true.

You missed the point. She couldn't be anonymous because her name and her face were made so public for years. Everywhere she went, people knew who she was. The paparazzi were still following her. Everything she said or did was being scrutinized and criticized. By making what happened to her a part of her public life, she took control of it herself and out of the hands of others. So WHAT if she did the splits while waiting at the station? It's irrelevant. To focus on such minutiae is ignoring the elephant in the room: there is no evidence linking her to the murder.

"[Dr. Sarah Gino] underlined that the SAL [stato di avanzamento lavoro-work status report] reports which had been made available had shown that a generic diagnosis for blood had been performed and had given a negative result..." From the Hellmann-Zanetti MR: "The prints are of bare feet, detected in Romanelli’s room (176 and 177), in Knox’s room (178, 179, 180), in the corridor (184, rectius [Latin: “more correctly”] 183). According to the indications in the SAL [Stato Avanzamento Lavori, “State of Work Progress”] files of the genetic lab of the Scientific Police, the generic test for blood was performed on these footprints, which gave a NEGATIVE response. The genetic investigations, conducted by Dr. Stefanoni, biologist of the Scientific Police, gave the following results: 176 trace of Meredith; 177 mixed trace of Meredith and Amanda; 178, 179, 180, biological profile of Amanda, 184 (rectius 183) mixed genetic profile of Meredith and Amanda."

She refuted this within hours and again the next day in writing which she gave to the police. They ignored it. The world's foremost expert on false confessions, Prof. Saul Kassin, has stated that Knox's confession has all the earmarks of a "coerced internalized false confession". Knox was also illegally interrogated without the legally required lawyer present and it was neither audio- nor video recorded. Why? Why not do yoga at the police station? She was an avid yoga practitioner and did some stretching exercises while waiting for Raffaele because she was stiff. You don't want to believe her because you think she's guilty.

Both before and after the interrogation of Nov. 5/6, 2007, Amanda always said she was at her boyfriend's apartment all evening and night. It was only during that interrogation, where she was denied her legally required lawyer and a neutral interpreter, that she signed the two contradictory statements. She was coerced into accusing her boss by the police who were already convinced that he was involved at the start of the interrogation. She repeatedly denied she took anyone, much less Lumumba, to the cottage that night. When she denied it, she was told she had amnesia, that she was a liar, and that they had hard evidence she was there. Stressed, exhausted, and confused, she finally agreed to what they were saying. Within hours of signing those statements, she wrote and gave the police a letter saying those statements could not be relied on as being the truth because she had been so confused and her 'memories' seemed more like a dream than the truth. The next day, she gave them another statement saying she could not know who the killer was because her mind was clearer and she now knew she had not left her boyfriend's apartment that night.

Thanks for speaking up, Amanda, and thanks for the work you are doing on this channel. As a man and living in my own little world I was not aware of the difficulties women regularly have to face on such a scale, in so many areas of life. Some awareness was kindled when I listened to Sam Richards a few years ago describing women's experience of the sexualization of femininity for marketing purposes, so ubiquitous in media that we don't even notice because we are so accustomed. This made me think and try to put myself in women's shoes more often. Then so much more is becoming obvious, so much unfairness and inequality, so much it hurts to witness. There needs to be a lot of information, not all men are insensitive idiots, some of us, probably many if not most of us, do care when we see and understand. We have to understand and work together, not fight each other. I haven't experienced discrimination many times myself, but from the times I have, I know how hard it is to swollow down and how hard it is to speak up when you feel powerless and expect more troubles than benefits from doing so. I feel so sorry that what happened to you was possible to happen, and it's heart wrenching to learn that there are so many more similar cases. We do need more respect and justice for everyone, and developing empathy, the ability to understand the experience of another person, is a most necessary ingredient. Thanks again for sharing, thanks for letting us know. I first heard about your story in an audiobook by Malcom Gladwell. It's great you have such an eloquent presenter of your story. And it's great to see you alive and strong, trying to help others overcome the struggle of discrimination and prejudice. Thank you for opening eyes. Life is better being aware, even though the heart may be bleeding many times. Thank you for being strong. I'm wishing you a great future.

[@GARYBRUNDAGEMUSIC]

@@TheWchurchill4pmbloody Amanda Knox footprints plus all this so much evidence I forgot some: I suggest the book Meredith by John Kercher. He talks about the Kercher family's astonishment at Amanda Knox's and Rafaelle Sollecito's acquittal after 10k pages of evidence against Amanda Knox and Rafaelle Sollecito in trial 1. Alan Dersowitchz, a famous attorney has stated that in 50 years he has never seen a trial so one sidedly portrayed by the 🇺🇸 media. Americans were not privy to the evidence like Italians were - they all know she's guilty. Let's break down just some of the evidence against Amanda Knox & Rafaelle Sollecito- and this isn't all of it. 1) A staged break in-Whenever a break in is staged it is due to someone having a connection to the house trying to thwart their involvement - we often see this on Forensic Files. The window was broken from the inside not the outside and it was a huge rock, not even able to fit through the window that no one would be 100% impossible to throw through a 2 story window. Glass was found on top of items in a suspicious way, not all over and underneath. 2) Amanda's foot matched the footprint that was made in Meredith'a blood on the bathroom floor rug. 3) Amanda's blood was found in the bathroom sink on top of the faucet or something the morning of the murder. Her defense says she had a nosebleed. Bull. 4) Meredith's blood was found in the bathroom sink as well mixed with Amanda Knox's DNA. 5) Amanda's DNA was found on a kitchen knife with Meredith's DNA on the knife blade. This was retested at the appeal years later and they said it wasn't human DNA - rye bread or something. The knife had been bleached and I think the bleach combined with time erased the traces of Meredith's DNA over time. Also the knife wasn't found at the apartment - it was found at Amanda's boyfriend's apartment. Why would Meredith's kitchen knife be at his apartment anyway? 6)Amanda and Rafaelle turned their phones off all night for the first time the night of the murder all night. 7) Amanda falsely accused an innocent man of murdering her roommate when she was interrogated by police. She claims they beat her and that this was a coerced false confession. Well he was in jail for 2 weeks- Amanda had all that time to come out and say that he was really innocent. She would have let that man sit in prison for this had a university professor and many others not come forward saying he was with Lumumba at his restaurant. Amanda was sued for defamation by the interrogators for saying they hit her and coerced her. 8) A shop owner testified that Amanda Knox was waiting for him to open his store the morning after the murder and she went straight to get cleaning supplies and their is a receipt for bleach. The apartment had been bleached and cleaned of Amanda Knox's prints. 9) Amanda and Rafaelle had no alibi and they lied about the one they tried to pass off. 10) Rafaelle's DNA was found on Meredith's bra clasp. It was left at the crime seen for 40+ days or so, but still evidence is evidence and people can claim contamination but I don't. 11) Meredith's phones were thrown over a fence. A neighbor called to report the suspicious appearance of the phones in her yard and the postal police investigated- which led them to Meredith's apartment. Amanda and Rafaelle were outside at the time. After the postal police showed up Rafaelle called the Italian police. This would make it look to outsiders that Rafaelle reported the break in and then everyone showed up. Think about it-if the investigators show up to give Meredith her phones and she is dead-murdered then suspicion will go on the roommates who were at the crime scene. 11) Investigators confronted Rafaelle for calling police after the postal police arrived at which point Rafaelle signed a statement saying that he had been lying for amanda and that she left his house that night returning a few hours later. At this point it would suggest that when they told him that they knew about him calling the police after the postal police arrived that he turned on Amanda and tried to put the blame on her. Since they were wrongfully acquitted they are friends again. 12) The behavior of Amanda Knox and her boyfriend -whom she had only known for 4 days by the way - has come under suspicion and rightfully so. She and her boyfriend were making out outside the crime scene like two snake lovers in a crime spree. If you look up the Amanda Knox BBC documentary on KZbin, that infamous picture of Amanda on Rafaelle's arms looking at the crime scene investigators is the still shot used for the video and that picture screams guilt to me. You have to see the picture to understand. At the police station as a "witness" with Meredith's friends, Amanda was making out with her boyfriend, doing cartwheels & stretches - I think she was doing that in the lobby to make people think that the innocent girl doing cartwheels couldn't be the one who did this. She also made a comment to Meredith's friends: "Of course she suffered she had her F***ing throat cut." Meredith's friends informed investigators that Amanda was the exact opposite of Meredith. Meredith did send a text out to her sister before she died that she had a fight with Amanda. Amanda & Rafaelle were filmed kissing/buying lingerie the next day like a honeymoon. Young love. 13) Rudy Guede has said Amanda was there and that she killed Meredith after being confronted for stealing Meredith's rent money. Rudy was convicted in the killing as well. 14) Investigators determined that Meredith Kercher was killed by 3 people based on forensic evidence. I agree with the prosecutor - I think they killed without motive.

Francesco Pasquali, a Sollecito defense expert, threw a rock of equal size/weight through a glass window at the same height, and it created a similar distribution pattern. (2) If the bloody footprint matched Amanda's, then why did the prosecution argue that it was Raffaele's? (3) The video of the forensic team collecting evidence shows that the used the same swab to collect two different samples of blood; that is the swab that showed Amanda's blood "mixed" with Meredith's. Contamination. (4) The knife didn't belong to Meredith, it belonged to Sollecito. Amanda's DNA was on the handle because she'd used it to slice tomatoes. The substance on the knife was tomato juice. (5) They were probably trying to save the battery, or maybe they didn't want anyone to call them during sex. (6) Amanda wrote TWO recantations within 24 hours of the accusation. Despite her recantations, the police continued to hold Lumumba until they'd found Guede and could use the news of Guede's arrest to overshadow Lumumba's release. (7) The owner's testimony was called into question because he reported it so late and was apparently encouraged to do so by a journalist friend. (8) They were each other's alibi, and were both pressured to recant under police pressure. (9) There is a video of a crime scene tech handling the bra clasp with used gloves. Contamination. (10) Amanda says Raffaele was about to call the police just before the postal police arrived. Why would he call to make it look like they already called if the postal police could contradict it? And what would be the point of throwing the phones in the neighbor's yard? (11) If you look at the video of the kiss, it's clearly not a make-out session; Amanda's expression is nervous and afraid. She was probably joking and making faces at Raffaele to deal with her anxiety. She also went to the underwear store because her own underwear was at the crime scene. She did the splits because she'd told an officer she knew yoga and he asked her to show him a move. (12) Rudy Guede has no credibility. He had a history of break-ins, attacked a woman days before Meredith's murder, and there was much more of his DNA in Meredith's room. (13) How do you do something without motive? Especially murder? And you just said Guede claimed it was an argument over rent money. The prosecutor himself said the motive was jealously of Meredith.

What an actress! For those who may not be aware this is what the Supreme Court in Italy decided in relation to the three co-accused - 1. Knox, as a witness who was herself present at the scene of the murder, dishonestly and knowingly accused an innocent man, of the murder. She was sentenced to a term of 3 years imprisonment for this offence. This is a definitive conviction. 2. Rudy Guede was definitively convicted of the murder “in complicity with others”. 3. As stated above Knox was present at the scene of the murder, and her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, probably was as well. 4. Meredith Kercher was attacked by more than one assailant, thus excluding that Rudy Guede was solely responsible for Meredith’s death. 5. A burglary had been staged at the cottage. Why? Who would be responsible for that? The Court drew no inferences and would not allocate the blame for that offence to any of the three accused. 6. There was no finding of fact as to who had inflicted the fatal stab wound. 7. Knox and Sollecito were acquitted on the basis that the evidence against them was insufficient to allocate culpability. 8. It had the option under Italian law to exonerate both Knox and Sollecito but chose the Not Proven verdict instead. Knox is a proven liar. Other than in her "Confession" she has always maintained, and still does to this day, that she was not at the cottage when the murder occurred. However, in addition to her confession there is other evidence that she was there. For example Meredith's DNA on the blade of Sollecito's knife, and his DNA on Meredith's bra clasp beneath Meredith's body. Also Knox's lamp on the floor of Meredith's bedroom behind the locked door. The likelihood of Sollecito being involved, without Knox, is miniscule. Barely mentioned, but highly significant is this other evidence. In her e-mail and trial testimony Knox said there was no blood in the small bathroom when she used it the day before the discovery of the murder. However she also said that during her alleged shower at the cottage the next day, just before the discovery of the murder, she noticed blood on the washbasin faucet that was hardly likely to be hers because of the amount and because it was “caked” on. Well. In fact, it was her blood as DNA analysis was to prove. Blood that must have been deposited, and had time to dry, in the period intervening between the two occasions when she freely admitted to using the bathroom : that is, in the evening or overnight when, according to her she was not there. That was a lie exposed by the science and her own account.

Brave? The court is CERTAIN that this woman was present on the crime scene at the time of the murder. And this is not just speculation: it is clearly written on the final verdict. Even if Knox did not kill Meredith herself, she witnessed her friend being sexually assaulted and massacred (Knox heard Meredith’s screams of agony, as she stated herself) and did absolutely nothing about it. I don’t see anything brave about that. Furthermore, I find it absolutely disgusting that she is still trying to portray the victim and profiting off of this situation when a young woman was raped and brutally murdered that night. If there’s anyone I feel for it is Meredith and her family, not Knox.

[@TheWchurchill4pm]

@yourlocalpastaenthusiast - I feel for them both. The prosecution put Meredith’s family through further hell by never admitting their mistake. The Court had already ruled Rudy Guede was an accomplice and had to say that Amanda and Raffaele were there to safe face and avoid stating Rudy was the sole perpetrator. And I can’t see how her statement saying she “heard Meredith scream” can be used as evidence. She said in the same statement that Patrick Lumumba was at the apartment - which was proven false. So why should anyone think the other part of her statement matters? It also makes sense that the police coerced that statement, btw.

I think the guy that killed Meredith, was their drug dealer. Anyone who’s done drugs knows that sometimes you hang out with them mostly to get free drugs. Especially when you’re a woman. I also think it’s possible she and the boyfriend were there when it happened or at least she knew more than she let on and didn’t want to say for fear of getting arrested herself for doing drugs. And it all got so much worse because of that resistance to tell the whole story.

[@mytrip6991]

@@Primseygirl101 There are a few problems with your hypothesis: 1) Knox's hair test taken the day she was arrested returned negative for all narcotics. Hair never loses its traces of drugs unlike blood and urine. That's why hair is used when the time limit for blood/urine has passed. Sollecito's hair test was also negative for narcotics. 2) Knox's phone records showed she never called Guede nor had he ever called her. Neither had the other's number in their contacts list. No witnesses ever put them together except for one evening when Guede ran into Knox, Meredith, and the boys downstairs after an evening out dancing. Guede knew the boys downstairs because they played basketball together. One of the boys suggested they all go over to the downstairs apartment. The only other time they interacted was when she served him a drink at her work. That's it. 3) People didn't get arrested for smoking weed in Perugia. It was pervasive among the students and other young people and the police pretty much ignored it. All the inhabitants of the cottage, upstairs and downstairs, smoked weed. One of the Italian roommates, Laura Mezzetti, was the one who normally bought the weed. The boys downstairs had five cannabis plants growing in their apartment and Meredith watered them while the boys were away over the weekend. The police didn't arrest them. As I said, the hair tests were negative for narcotics.

Meredith says, “I thought you were spending the night at Raffaele’s.” Amanda: “His faucet is leaking, I came to get a mop.” Meredith goes to her bedroom, Amanda goes to get the mop - suddenly there’s the sound of breaking glass. Amanda goes to investigate - and Rudy Guede appears. Amanda screams, “MEREDITH!!!!” She runs, Rudy chases her, she throws things, he grabs her, they scuffle - then Meredith hits him over the head with a lamp. The two girls run out of the apartment and sprint to Raffaele’s apartment. He opens the door, Amanda embraces him. Meredith: “A man broke into our apartment.” Raffaele is calling the police as Meredith and Amanda hug and comfort each other. And then - “Amanda! Amanda, wake up.” Amanda’s eyes open, she’s startled, then sees she’s on a plane, her mother shaking her awake. “We’re about to land in Seattle,” her mother says. “You’re home, sweetie.” Amanda smiles, part of her is relieved that the nightmare is over, while another part will always be haunted by the question “what if…”

I don't know. I wasn't there, but the movie sure as hell, made her look guilty. When the police arrived, she and her boyfriend were waiting nonchalantly outside, without a care in the world.

[@mytrip6991]

What movie? If it's the Lifetime one, then I suggest you not get your information from such unreliable sources as sensationalized made for TV movies. That movie was horribly inaccurate and just made up things that never even happened. For example, One: Amanda Knox's blood was mixed with the victim's in several spots on a bathroom sink. False. It was Amanda's DNA left in her own sink, not her blood. Two: the movie shows Amanda Knox hanging out with Rudy Guede and buying drugs from him. Never happened. Three: Amanda Knox told one of her Italian roommates that Meredith Kercher's throat was slashed. It was actually one of Meredith's British girlfriends that Knox told at the police station and she knew it because Luca Altieri told her that's what he overheard from a first responder telling a policeman at the scene. He testified to this is court. Four: A store owner immediately tells the police that Knox bought cleaning supplies in his shop the morning after the murder. The prosecutor believes it is evidence that Knox tried to clean up the crime scene. False. The store owner, Quintavalle, first told a detective within days of the murder that he had NOT seen either Knox or Sollecito at his store when shown their photos. He only changed his story over a year and a half later and he NEVER said she had bought anything, much less cleaning supplies. Five: The prosecutor and police all speak English. So when Amanda Knox is being interrogated, she is being questioned in English. Knox is able to understand everything that she is being told and, in turn, her responses are understood by all the Italians questioning her. The prosecutor (Mignini) does not speak English. The police interrogators did not speak English. Knox had only been in Italy six weeks and she'd previously had only one semester of beginning Italian 101. Her Italian was very limited. An interpreter was only brought in after more than 90 minutes of interrogation in Italian and later admitted in court that she had not only interpreted but had told Knox she had "traumatic amnesia" and would "remember the truth" whenever Knox denied not being at the cottage. Six: The scene where Knox and Sollecito were "skulking nefariously" around the candlelight vigil never happened. It was entirely made up. The reason they were waiting outside when the postal police arrived was because Raffaele had already called the carabinieri (different police from the postal police) to report the break-in and the pair were expecting the carabinieri to arrive at any time. The murder had not been discovered yet. Another lie that is widely believed is that they were "caught" with a mop and bucket. Not true. The police never claimed this and the mop is filmed by the police being collected form the hall closet.

THAT confession? "In her e-mail and trial testimony she said there was no blood in the small bathroom when she used it the day before the discovery of the murder." She never said there was no blood in the bathroom the day before in her email. If she had been involved in the murder, she would have cleaned up her own blood from the bathroom and most certainly NOT have pointed it out to the police which she did. Common sense eluded you, Raper. "that was hardly likely to be hers because it was “caked” on." She never said that either. Her trial transcripts prove that. Her blood consisted of a couple tiny droplets on the faucet...easily overlooked unless someone was deliberately trying to clean up evidence of themselves. What does science prove? There was no DNA or any other forensic evidence of Knox either in Kercher's bedroom or at the cottage at the time of the murder. No evidence of blood on the alleged knife. No scientific evidence of Kercher's DNA on the knife. No credible witnesses. No motive.

If I were her I would have changed my name... Not fair that her name was tarnished so awfully.

Honestly, I don't know This is one of the 50-50 cases that no one can tell definitely In principle, In democratic countries, they would let killers go free for the lack of evidances than punishing possible innocents In dictatorship, they would rather kill innocents to let possible killer walk away

[@nula14]

Anyone who claims it's a 50/50 case knows nothing about this case. It is crystal clear that she is innocent.

100% guilty!

She's totally not authentic to me - corodile tears.

[@TheCrossPearls]

Agree. And I’m American. She loved the attention and only speaks of herself. Wreaks of narcissism and no conscience. Thank God for God. No one gets away with anything in the end. Amanda Knox will be held accountable.

[@ruvoluble]

Amanda Knox is as innocent as Casey Anthony and OJ Simpson.

She was falsely accused and then pulled a Karen and tried to pin 📍 it on the random black man

[@strawberry10261026]

Exactly !

[@jusletursoulglobaby]

help. title says Knox talks of gendered public shaming of media. she accounts her experience and seeks other voices to validate the frequency of occurrences? is that the intended message? awareness of an issue? Gina davis has an institute that studies this? or similar, right? or is it just the sexualization of women and girls in media? I see this as falling under the scope of that topic. I also think conversations about representation, not just visibility or inclusion, are prevalent. or maybe only in my circle. I need a bit of a societal check. are people not aware? all this rambling typing is to say... I dont think I understand the takeaway or overall message of the video.

I know there are many in Italy who believe in her innocence. In 2019, she gave a speech at the Italian Innocence Project’s inaugural conference.
