Remember, too, that John Kercher is part of the tabloid press. The tabloid press in both Britain and the U.S. feast on the sensational and don't hesitate to highlight the sordid. This is what John Kercher does for a living.

He may also be guided by counsel, but I have to believe that a large portion of what emanates from him would come regardless of counsel.

Also do you think the families of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were wrong to drag OJ's name through the mud after his acquittal????

Bingo.

Yep that would be it. I would imagine Knox will slip back into obscurity now and never give an interview, write a book or sign a movie deal.

If this is true- and I'm reticent to say that it is- the Kercher's are some sick puppies.

I don't know of any book even being considered by Amanda Knox. I am certain that there will be books about AK, but whether they will be offered under her authorship is not certain to me. I hope to see such a book.

In the meantime, can you supply some source for your statement that publishers could not bid for both the Kercher's and Knox's stories? Is this a stipulation from John Kercher? A few more details on this would be good to know.

And the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown???

You cannot say two opposites in the same breath, that you would gladly burn Knox at the stake of public opinion, as you proclaim the stench to be offensive to your nose, as she fights for her very freedom. If you are willing to convict her in your own mind, simply from reading and inferring by halves that she is condemned by you, then you should fully support her right to shout her story from the highest rooftops.

The evidence has been shown on balance to be overwhelming. The victim was killed by a drifter who had a history of violence with knives being his weapon of choice. Amanda Knox was sent through a hellish ordeal for years. Her family spent a massive fortune to fund a defense that ultimately proved she was not the killer. Her life has already been a source of blood for a vast audience that was ready to drink that blood and do so with malice and belligerence. The story is fascinating and tragic. She has every right to publish anything involving this horrid affair.
