I always thought Leslie Van Houten was pretty hot, but I think Knox wins.

Although she's got a new cold sore thing going on.

I have to say though that I am fascinated by this case. I really don't know what I think.

[JudeBaldo]

I would never knox boots with a murderer.

[JudeBaldo]

Yay, I killed another thread.

This Knox case is new to me so i took to a lil wiki reading. While she's clearly guilty, the part of the article that struck me was:

Under Italian law, a defendant who testifies is not required to tell the truth. Defendants are permitted to lie and will not face perjury charges if they do so.[56] In contrast, witnesses must swear to tell the truth when they take the stand.[56]

curious to hear any of your takes on this.

Here's a lil more from the end of the article, not as concrete as the above feature of their law:

[edit] Italian justice system
The Italian justice system has been criticized by American reporter Judy Bachrach. Bachrach quoted an Italian ecclesiastical judge, who is not employed in the Italian legal system, in an article about Knox for Vanity Fair magazine. The ecclesiastical judge claimed that the Italian justice system “stems from the Inquisition and also from medieval law. [It] is based on the supremacy of the prosecution. This nullifies the fact – written in our constitution – that you’re innocent until proven guilty.” [12] Bachrach did not seek out an alternate opinion.

On October 18, 2009, Bachrach appeared on a broadcast of CNN Larry King Live which featured Knox's parents. Bachrach claimed that in Italy “the ordinary person is considered guilty until proven innocent. Italy's laws are direct descendants of the Inquisition.” [68] On that same King show, John Q. Kelly – a prosecuting attorney in the civil trial against OJ Simpson[69] – commented on the Italian Justice system in relation to its treatment of Knox and Sollecito. He said that “it's probably the most egregious, international railroading of two innocent young people that I have ever seen.” [68] (Kelly does not represent anyone involved in the Kercher trial.) King did not feature any experts in Italian justice on the show to provide a counterbalance to Bachrach or Kelly.

The Italian judiciary system is derived from Roman law and Napoleonic code. The Constitution of Italy, article 27, reads "The defendant is not considered guilty until final judgement is passed"; in article 111, that "Guilt shall not be established on the basis of statements made by anyone who has freely chosen not to submit to questioning by the defendant or the defendant’s Counsel ad litem".

Erzsebet Bathory, the most prolific female serial killer in history. She would bathe in the blood of virgins, them being easier to find in those days.

Actually, the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" has been in Italian law far longer than in Anglo-Saxon law. This was suspended during the Inquisition and some other brief times, but for the most part, Italian law has held to the concept of "item quilbet presumitur innocens nisi probetur nocens" since the 1300s.

Agreed. Goolle images swayed my vote. Plus, any hot chick who wears a flag as a costume...

for a new Coxcomb category, or two.

2010 Thread Killer

2010 Golden Coxcomb Baiter

Speaking of which, I don't get the name of Golden Coxcomb going to a foreigner. The reference alludes me. Perhaps that is intentional, with Collette knowing if I brag, or even acknowledge the award, i'm willingly sitting at the bottom of the well.

I'll do my best to let JB kill threads and win his shiny trophy, but we all know option B will be the most likely outcome.

I created it as a play on the Golden Globes, which are awarded by the "Hollywood Foreign Press Association". It was either that or the "Ugly NonAmericans Award".
