Amanda Knox gets $4 million deal with HarperCollins - Grace62 - 02-16-2012
I look forward to reading this. In addition to having a compelling story, she's also a good writer.

That'll cover most of her legal fees.
What's she gonna do for the rest?

Didn't the Italian prosecutors appeal the decision?

That's the expected and final stage. It's highly unlikely that the court will reinstate the conviction. The prosecution cannot present any new evidence; it's not a new trial, just another judicial review of the last process. The defense won that one, overwhelmingly.

I would still be having nightmares.

Don't let in young strangers.

I had to Google to remember who she was. I fail to "get" the fascination with murder cases. It's so one-hundred-years-ago.

She is, no doubt. But she won't be extradited back to Italy, even if the court did the unexpected and reinstated the conviction (something Italian courts very rarely do anyway.)
