There is also a whiny blogger who calls his blog Marmalade Sandwich and he has been commenting on Amanda lately.
These conversations can be a little like kids playing telephone. We all really need to check out rumors and facts before putting them out on the web.

this is why i do not travel outside of the US, also i think our judicial system stinks, just look at the OJ and Casey Anthony trials, both murderers and both got of scott free. OJ kept saying he will find whoever is responsible and bring them to justice, havn't seen him search a day.

I am happy she is home now too. I think she didn't do it or her boyfriend. Since we live in Washington St. where she is from, we get a lot of local (Seattle) news about what is going on, so we probably get a bit more than most people do.

Our system has, as is well documented, put people that are truly innocence behind bars, and some even to death. And while our system has botched some very high profile cases, the majority of the time, our justice system finds the correct party(ies) guilty. I personally would not trade our form of justice (especially the issue of double jeopardy) for any other justice system in the world...even with it's faults and failures.

I think that because so many of the High profile cases are plastered all over the media with what sells newspapers and creates ratings, that we dont really see what the Jury sees. The media paints a picture... and the public takes that at face value. However, because it is not the full or possibily even true story, I tend to ignore most of what I hear in the media, and let the court deal with it as it should be....

I am not that familiar with it, but if she is guilty and is free, she will have to live with it for the rest of her life. Edie
