I agree with LH. Once I started to read up on the case I became convinced the guy in jail acted alone and I couldn't believe the flimsy nature of the evidence that convicted Knox. IMO she was guilty of nothing more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I doubt I will read the book but as I don't believe she is guilty I don't see anything wrong with her selling her story. She has to rebuild her life and help her family repay their legal costs.

Ok! But none of us know the truth of what went on in that place on that night and we will probably never know. However, Meredith Kercher lies dead and her family is left to grieve. £2.5million for a one-sided book about what happened stinks! Obviously my point of view only!
