Amanda Knox voted Italy's "Woman of the year"

 That's right, folks.  The former UW honor-student, current violent, sadistic murder suspect has been named Italy's "Woman of the year."

Granted it was an internet-and-television poll in which she narrowly beat out Sarah Palin and finished just behind Barrack Obama in another, but the tabloid queen proves my earlier prediction that her name is going nowhere fast.

I would write a little background on the case, but if you're unfamiliar with the case, you're probably also unfamiliar with the internet.

The story on the poll does give a new nickname to the much-maligned Knox: "angel-face."

Miss Knox has appeared on the covers of Italian magazines and in countless newspaper stories, her blonde hair, fresh complexion and good looks earning her the name "angel-face" from the Italian media.

Knox's trial is set to begin soon, as the jury has been selected.  Once it does, you can catch all updates right here, or over at www.seattlecrimeblog.com/.

    I don't think that anyone could reasonably expect a not guilty verdict for Amanda Knox.
    There are simply far to many "coincidences".

    Amanda Knox was found to have committed an offense BEFORE she left for Italy.

    Ms. Knox was charged in connection with an off-campus rock throwing riot/ party run amok at the U of Washington in February of 2007. (See Case #202557635, Seattle Municipal Court's website)

    Thus, contrary to assertions made by Knox's parents, Amanda is no angel.

    Regardless of whether she's guilty of murder, why do people rusdh to defend someone who is clearly a very rotten person? Accusing an innocent man of murder, repeatedly lying to investigators, showing zero respect for the court or Kercher's family, drug use, sex with complete strangers... sounds like a great person to me. And what is pretty about her - looks completely plain-Jane in the photos I have seen, if not somewhat - dare I say it - ugly.
