Comments on: Comedian explains why she organized Amanda Knox comedy show fundraiser

It looks like now that everyone who usually comments on this blog has joined the subsects of Friends of Amanda and has taken their interaction to those locations, there is nothing more to say here. However, surely as this blog is called ”Punchline,” there should BE a punchline now that we’ve come to a conclusive point.
But unfortunately there is no punchline to this case. Certainly not for poor Meredith. But also not for Amanda Knox. And anyone who has an ounce of decency or compassion in their heart will easily see that Amanda Knox, whose life up to November 2007 had been something of a whirlwind roller coaster, had no way of combatting the sudden seriousness of the situation she found herself in at that time. Even well into 2009, her spirits had not been extinguished and her faith in the system continued to maintain her at altitude. Not until the first really heavy blow, the sentencing in December 2009, did Amanda look like keeling. Now as the full impact of her predicament slowly begins to dawn on Amanda, we see her in her true colours for the first time: a gentle, mild-mannered young lady who cares only about her family, parents and sisters. A very loving person whose virtues in this respect have already been extoled by her schools. She is so obviously not a murderer or anything like it. We should all pray hard that a more conscientious mindset governs her appeal proceedings in November and she receives the justice she deserves, exoneration and release.
Thank you for taking time to hear our plea on her behalf. If as we intended, you have been persuaded to share our opinion, please join us at injusticeinperugia.com

Ooh, I hope not, John. That would make me almost as nutty as some of the guiltes — if such a thing is possible!

Mary H, you tricky cat. Something’s just occurred to me. You didn’t happen to be looking in a mirror when you saw Candace Dempsey at the booklaunch did you?

That might explain it Mary. I did catch one post at least which had my name on it and said something extremely puerile about Amanda and Raffaele being guilty. There are probably others which I’ve missed. I haven’t caught them doing this anywhere else except maybe fairly harmlessly on the Examiner.

The mobster scenario is engaging. Course it only takes a little digging in the garden at this guy’s place to confirm his story. It would be rather like a dream come true if they did find the knife and then forensically proved it was the murder weapon. If this happened, I would go to the nearest multi-storey and jump off the roof because I know damned well that I’d fly like a bird at that moment!!

mary h john winters i post on the “injusticeinperugia” blog there is one poster there called “kevad”he is a lawyer from california he has read the motivations and the appeal documents submitted by amanda and raffaela.his posts are excellant.raffaela appeal chalanges the court belief that his dna is on the braclasp,if kevad and raffaela lawyers are right (and i suspect they are)the evidence of raffaela on the braclasp is the same as the luminal footprint, the cleanup, calling the carabinaire only after the postal police arrived,all lies.failure by the prosecution to test hairs under meridiths finger nails and a semen stain on a pillow that was found under merridiths hips is indicitive of a prosecution that was determined to avoid getting to the truth at all costs

the next time that ye have a bit of time mary h john winters go and read kevads posts on injusticeinperugia

Hmm, odd. As it happens, I saw someone write something the other day about you, saying there is a good John Winters and a bad John Winters, and the one on the Seattle Times was the bad one. Was it you or is someone impersonating you there? How about changing your name just to be on the safe sid?

Have you guys seen this, just out:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1285226/Amanda-Knox-innocent-brother-killed-Meredith-Kercher-claims-Mafia-supergrass.html

Is such a thing possible? Even if it is a hoax, it might still work, since the Italians only care about drama, not the truth.

By the way, I met Candace Dempsey last night at one of her book signings in Seattle. Nice to know she and I are not the same person after all!

That’s great Mary, thanks. I’ve already signed up for ”the cause” and am thinking of something to write to Amanda that would be inspirational in the right way.

I don’t know where where is. I’m posting on any site that will take me at the moment. The Seattle Times are refusing to print my posts because they say I broke the agreement I made with them not to say anything slanderous about anyone.

Made me kind of proud of meself.
