Its hard to discuss anything with your guilter this and that . It was her apartment she was the only one in the know living there so it probably was her idea. Even if it wasn't she thought it would be fun to scare her roommates.
Frankly, who the hell cares? It really wouldn't matter if Knox had been a certified juvenile delinquent with a conviction for causing malicious damage,
if she has an alibi for the time of this murder. Which she appears to have. Lots of people have episodes in their past where they did something a bit questionable. They didn't
all kill Meredith Kercher!
I simply cannot describe how tired I am of people who are trying to accuse someone of a crime where there is no evidence at all that they committed it, running off to find some completely unrelated act to smear the person with. It's
irrelevant.
Probably the most notorious example of this is Sion Jenkins, when the police unearthed the fact that some years previously he had sexed up his CV, when applying for his present job. It was pretty minor - he said he'd been to Gordonstoun (a posh school) when he'd actually been to Glasgow Academy (a very good school), and he said he'd graduated from the University of Kent when in fact he had a diploma from a college which had subsequently amalgamated with the University of Kent. His post-grad teaching qualification was entirely genuine, and he had been promoted to headmaster on his own merits.
This was spun to assert that he had got his job under false pretences, and that he had no qualifications at all. The inference was drawn that anyone who would tell the odd porkie on their CV was obviously a person who would batter their foster daughter to death with a tent peg without a second thought. It was even suggested that the motive for the absolutely motiveless murder was that Bille-Jo might be going to reveal his heinous crime!
The police also canvassed all the boys he taught or had taught, trying to find someone who would state that Mr. Jenkins had once lost his temper. Incredibly, for a teacher in a boys' school, they could find nobody. That last didn't get any publicity, but for weeks all there was on TV about the case was this falsified CV.
I couldn't make it out even at the time. It seems to me that massaging a CV a bit isn't that unusual, and hardly turns someone into a violent child murderer. It was only later that I realised they didn't have any real evidence against the man, and were trying to blacken his name instead. I think he went through more trials than Amanda Knox before he was finally acquitted.
So no, I don't care if she messed up someone's room as a prank. I once got up very early and hid three bicycles from the shed behind my friend's house as an April Fool's prank. I thought it was funny at the time but nobody else was amused. It didn't turn me into a bicycle thief. Or a murderer.
Find some way Knox could have murdered Kercher and left a corpse with all her last meal still in her stomach, and then we can discuss it. Otherwise, all you have is irrelevant distraction.
