I don't mean to trivialise Meredith's tragic circumstances but that doesn't make me any more guilty than anyone else.

Best regards, Chris Gavan,

Also add to the line about be careful who you associate with the fact that you should not do drugs and also if you commit a crim you are accountable and you are not a 12 year who can go running home to Mommy and Daddy to get you out of trouble. I await the correct verdict and true justice for the Kercher family and friends who are the only victims in this case! Chris S F Fuller’s response to Benny Williams is spot on…..

I wish Italy had the death sentence! To all students studying abroad, be wary of who you associate with. It is wise to err on the side of caution even though, thankfully, there are not many psycho's around.

The horrifically flawed judicial system in Italy is allowing an unjust trial of an innocent young American student led by a desperate prosecutor who is currently under indictment himself on multiple charges. For details, consult friendsofamanda.org or see the recent episode of "48 Hrs" re Amanda Knox on the CBS.com website.
