Amanda Knox

The family of Amanda Knox, the Seattle college student jailed for the murder of her British roomate in Italy, will speak to Oprah tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. Although Amanda was convicted of killing her roomate - Meredith Kercher in November 2007 and sentenced to prison for 26 years, many Americans feel the case lacks major evidence and was overly-sensationalized in the Italian media.

Friends and family of Amanda Knox in the US were devastated when the Italian jury found her guilty of Kercher's murder. One thing about the Italian justice system that puzzled many is that the jury was not sequestered, so they heard and seen all the media hype and tabloid reports issued in connection with the case. In the US, we call that an "unfair" trial. Seattle Weekly reports that there is some hope that the US Government will be able to put diplomatic pressure on the Italian government. Whether or not it will work is up in the air. There are no plans so far to do so, and it is also possible that Amanda Knox could get freed upon appeal.

The appeal process could take up to two years, meaning that a good chunk of Knox's life will have been tied up in the Meredith Kercher murder case. Read more about the case here.

One billionaire who's supporting Amanda Knox is Donald Trump. He states that the Italians should "put the prosecutor in jail, not Amanda." He also calls for a boycott of Italy until they decide to get serious and let the American girl go.

I'm definitely tuning in to watch because I have been following the case closely. What do you think? Was the trial fair? Were the evidence pointing at Amanda Knox strong enough for conviction? SHOULD the US Government put diplomatic pressure on the Italian government? Will Amanda come back to the U.S. when she's.... 50?
