I initially voted up to counter what seemed like an unfair response by others (I know, you don't care about karma).
Did you read the comments at The Amanda Knox Test? You linked to it. Much of what you present as if it were uncontroversial fact is effectively rebutted there.
This certainly should have been limited to a comment in the existing post.
<strike>That said, I agree that komponisto tipped his hand in telling us what he thought the relevant facts were; it was easy to predict that he believed Knox to be innocent.</strike>
Edit: apparently komponisto didn't post those facts until his second post, where he made his view explicit. Mea culpa.
I found it a little hard to predict based on the information he supplied. He only gave links to the pro/against sites, from what I recall, with somewhat of a warning about the wikipedia article that was then under constant flux. The only way that I could reliably predict that Kompo believed Knox to be innocent was that he wouldn't have brought a court judgement to our attention if he agreed with it.
That's why I tried to emphasize the controversy surrounding the verdict, rather than the verdict itself. For all anyone should have been able to tell, maybe I thought they were clearly guilty and that all this media fuss about innocence was the result of American national bias, or Knox's pretty face, or something.
You did a good job of hiding your beliefs, given the circumstances. The amount that you cared on a personal level did leak through a little.
Even in the first post?
That is what my subjective human emotion modelling intuitions told me at the time. I can't attest to those judgements being fair. But people usually post on things they care about and I have no problem with that whatsoever.
Interesting. Well, "fair" or not, your judgment was certainly correct in this instance.
And I don't mind. I'm totally not ashamed of caring about this.
