I'm really not sure she was guilty.
But it all tasted wrong in my mouth.
Honestly? I think Italian and American justice systems collided.
It knocked truth & honesty out of the window.
And yes, I feel for Kercher's family. Dead girl, full of promise, no answer.

Four days of very little sleep and intense and by all accounts highly manipulative interrogation can wrap a person up so they barely know what's true and what's not.
In this i have some minor experience, having been arrested on an arson charge and made to doubt my own story of events by the questioning that followed. To all intents and purposes I appearesd to 'lie' and change my story. Had it ever gone to court that would have played very badly against me. In fact the original story i told was mistaken, and the events I related had been coloured in my memory by things others had said ( I forgot that on this occasion I had actually left with everyone else, and had agreed with initial witness statements that said I'd left a little after the others, which was what i usually did).
