Why start a discussion about Lucy Letby here when there are already two discussion groups on Reddit, r/LucyLetby and r/LucyLetbyTrials?

Why not let Amanda Knox speak for herself, because her perspective is remarkable:

She has firsthand experience as a victim of a miscarriage of justice.

She understands the power of public opinion and the media.

As a young mother, she has empathy for the parents, partly because she suffered a miscarriage before her first child!

She was mistaken in her hasty support of Jens Söring as an alleged victim of a miscarriage of justice, whose presumed innocence she now considers far from certain after closer examination.

This is also why she invested more than two years of thorough research into this 15-part series before she felt she could justify its publication, unlike some dwarfs who quickly voice their opinions.

From her amamaknox instagram account:

There is a petition to cancel my show at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Here is my statement.

Cartwheel is a show about motherhood, raising a daughter in a world that is unfair and dangerous for women, and what it costs to be the kind of mother who tells her the truth about that.

Neither the author of this petition nor anyone who signed it has seen Cartwheel. The petition contains many false assumptions and completely mischaracterizes the show.

Cartwheel honors Meredith Kercher’s memory and calls out the violence that was done to her and to me.

A petition to cancel a show no one has seen, on the grounds of false accusations intended to shame and vilify a wronged woman into silence, is not an argument against Cartwheel. It's a fairly precise description of what Cartwheel is about and why it deserves to exist.

And the Edinburgh Fringe is the perfect place for a show like this.

Many of the Fringe's most celebrated comedy shows tackle difficult subjects including grief, trauma, mental health, addiction, illness, identity, and politics. Comics rarely treat these experiences lightly or make them the butt of the joke. Instead, they use comedy as a way to explore them, creating space for audiences to engage with complex ideas, connect through shared experience, and find moments of relief, perspective and hope in subjects that might otherwise feel overwhelming.

A report from the last hearing in Viterbo one week ago

The whole world remembers the ruling that women cannot be raped while wearing tight jeans. There are repeated rulings in which women have been held partially responsible for the abuse they have suffered. I recall a previous ECHR condemnation of Italy that included misogynistic arguments in its reasoning. In one case, there was supposedly no abuse because the victim wasn't attractive enough, etc., etc.

What does this have to do with the Kercher case and the Knox case, apart from the fact that the Knox case is essentially a contemporary witch hunt? Rudy Guede is on trial. I personally don't rule out the possibility that Guede will once again get off lightly despite having committed murder, because his victim, being a woman, may not have behaved to the complete satisfaction of the Italian judiciary.
