I believe you've been following this case for some time, Rose. The rhetoric might fly a little fast and loose on an internet forum but quotes from the testimony, judicial reports, their own written words, and other verifiable facts are the basis for forming an opinion about it--or any element contained in it.
Nobody has to be won over. It's your responsibility to educate yourself just as it's my responsibility to educate myself. At the outset of this thread, it was clear that most of us were fairly surprised at the conviction. This is because there are those in the media who are trying to win us over without reference to the actual evidence.
If it weren't for sites like PMF and TJMK, we still wouldn't have access to that evidence and would continue to be perplexed at a medieval Italian justice system infiltrated by corrupt prosecutors steeped in mystical hypotheses about Satanic rituals. I'm not sure what part of the world you're in, but in the Pacific Northwest there is still a lot of certainty that Amanda was railroaded and that justice was not served in her conviction.
Why not create a list such as Fiona's where you state what you consider to be 'known knowns' and the items you feel are unresolved in spite of their examination, cross-examination, and subsequent judgement?
