Ann Coulter: Amanda Knox Is Guilty as Sin

I have never heard of this story before I got the tip. It seems like a big cable story. I'm just catching up.

Some background:

Raffaele Sollecito, who was convicted with Knox last week by an Italian jury of murdering British student Meredith Kercher, said from his jail cell that "Amanda is a very dear person to me even if we were only together for a short while," according to the report.

Kercher, a 21-year-old Leeds University student, was stabbed to death in Perugia, Italy, in November 2007.

Knox, 22, of Seattle, was sentenced to 26 years; Sollecito, 25, got 25 years.

"She is also living a nightmare — we both find ourselves in a tremendous situation," Sollecito told the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero through his attorney.

"I am not in love with Amanda but I feel close to her as she is my companion in a misadventure," he said. "Amanda is not capable of killing anyone — it's impossible and absurd. She is such a sweet girl."

Apparently there is some agitation that while Knox's boyfriend is guilty, Amanda Knox herself is innocent as sugar pie.

Ann Coulter says no, no way, uh-uh.

Even though this story doesn't really have too much political juice, it's interesting. An Ann Coulter makes it political -- "liberals always want to defend the guilty and prosecute the innocent," she says.

Bill O'Reilly, interviewing her, interjects that a reporter, "not an ideologue," says Knox is innocent and he's not a liberal, to which Ann Coulter says, "He's a reporter, he's a liberal."

She does cut to the chase.

The evidence she mentions seems very damning, and it's hard to understand how this other reporter can maintain there's "no" evidence against the woman.

Thanknks to EdwardR.
