Trial by media

Mildly obsessed and scandalised by the Meredith Kercher trial / result.

Amanda Knox facing 26 years. Sympathy towards her entirely driven by her youth and beauty, and the disbelief anyone that young and beautiful could have committed such a horrendous crime.

Amendment: realise this makes it sound like I think she's innocent. Clearly, the jury found her guilty - who am I to judge? What I really meant was 'Any' sympathy towards her... ie the case is fascinating because the accused happens to be young&beautiful.
