A serious question about Amanda Knox
Here's a serious question. Was the case against Knox stronger than the one against Troy Davis? I think it was. And still she was let go and he was executed.

POLL: Was the case against Troy Davis weaker than the one against Amanda Knox?

1. I think that a court in Perugia Italy is not a court in Georgia, USA.
You might as well compare a poodle to a kangaroo. They're both warm blooded animals, but they have not much else in common.

5. One location was a a Medieval Italian City
The other was Confederate state. They sound similar to me.

3. Moral, if you're going to be accused of murder, be accused in Italy.
And also, be white.

4. They both got railroaded.
It doesn't matter which cases' bogus evidence was more bogus.

6. They are similar but I'm glad justice prevailed this time.
I'm sure Troy Davis would be rejoicing for her as loudly as anyone.

8. She would not face the death penalty in Italy and she is white and
not in a southern Republican-run American State.

9. Italy banned the death penalty in 1948
Georgia is Georgia and there white is white and non-whites...well, they are NOT whites.

10. The more important question than which case had weaker evidence...
...is which country has a better appeals process, the US or Italy?
