Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
Never again will I go public with my views on incipient legal proceedings!
Before y'all all get carried away, let's remember that O.J. was found "Not Guilty" back in 1995. Moreover, the Italian Supreme Court - the Cassazione - will almost certainly be asked to examine this case before it's put to bed once and for all, so there's always a chance that the defendants will be re-convicted in absentia.
Then again, perhaps I was just plain wrong from the get-go. It'll be interesting to read about the appeal court's reasons for freeing Knox and Sollecito when its report is published in early 2012, that's for sure.
Regardless of the terminology deployed by the presiding judge this evening, my guess is that the defense teams did just enough to establish reasonable doubt... Which is, of course, all they needed to do in order to spring their clients from Capanne prison.
Perhaps the one thing upon which we can all agree is that the Kercher family deserves everyone's heartfelt sympathy right about now.
