Another Book Deal We Are Maybe Not In Favor Of

Posted by Peter Quennell


Click above for the breaking story. This book now seems prejudicial, and it might be good if it’s withdrawn.

The passage we quoted in an earlier post actually seemed beneficial to Knox. The book is not out in English.

[Added] The author has now stated that the contentious passages in the book were all written by Amanda Knox herself.

In my book I used the diary written by Amanda Knox herself and which is now part of the evidence in the trial against her.

‘I don’t understand how the fact that I have retold her own words in a book can have a negative influence on her trial.

Earlier proceedings have already established the sexual element of the this case and that is what I am saying in the book.

So Amanda should sue… herself?! The diary excerpts sure are getting a lot of reads. It was an Italian best-seller over Christmas.

Sounds like that withdrawal is too late and this may be a red herring that goes nowhere.

I really smell a rat here, the timing of this suit is just too close to the trial. They want to claim that it is a mistrial before the trial has even begun. Well the jury pool in Mongolia won’t have been tainted due to the book not being out in Mongolian so maybe the judge can ask everyone to head there.
