I’d like you to meet Meredith.
She’s a murder victim.
This is Amanda, she’s a suspect in Meredith’s Murder:
Here in Seattle, Washington there have been enough words in defense of Amanda Knox to pave the I-5 from one end of the state to the other.
But there have been few, if any words for Meredith.
Amanda’s family have been supported and sympathized for in the press-which something I doubt you’d see from our local journalists if Amanda had been the victim and a ” stranger ” was being held as a suspect in the King County Jail and that suspects family were asking for the same sympathetic coverage.
So I am left asking myself the question:
What about Meredith?
She was a person, she became a murder victim and the press here in Seattle has come a breath away from painting Meredith as a dark little cloud full of rain that showered itself all over the promising life of Amanda Knox.
What happened to Meredith needs to be answered for- and until that question is answered I think ALL of the suspects in this case should stay exactly where they are.
After all, at the end of the day the suspects will get to either walk towards judgement or they will get to go home.
Meredith will not be going anywhere.
She was buried on December 14, 2007

I’m an American in Italy who has followed this case closely on both sides of the pond, and I couldn’t agree with you more.
May Meredith Kercher rest in peace, and may her family find some peace of their own someday.
Sincerely hope that justice be done in this case

I also feel for Meredith Kercher and her family. From what I’ve read she seemed like a kind young woman who didn’t deserve to be murdered. And she had much going for her.
But, yes, all I ever find are comments and articles about Amanda Knox and how unfair it is that she has been in prison for a year and that she is being unfairly judged by her sexcapades (even though she seems to have lied repeatedly and mixed blood has been found from the Meredith and Knox… theres definately something shady going on there).
I know the family has had some justice. But, I hope those responsible will pay their dues even though that will never bring the young Meredith back.
