I am not sure of the laws where the crime happened but if it happened here they could take Amanda Knox to civil court and if they won a settlement the money Amanda were to get from sales of the book, movie etc would be given to the family of the victim. So if the settlement was 1 million dollars and Amanda made a profit of 2 million, she keeps one million and the family of the victim gets 1 million. If the settlement was say 5 million but Amanda made 2 million, she would owe them 3 million.



I figured it was something like that. No amount of money could make up for losing Meredith, but at least it would give them some closure to get a guilty verdict even if it's only in a civil court.

As you said though, not sure if it would work, done in the USA for a murder that happened in another country.

They would have to sue her in Italy, if their law allows that.

I do not really see civil court as a true winning and victory because less evidence is needed.

Well if she didn't do it, then after four years she deserves to get something out of it. None of us will ever know but apparently there wasn't enough evidence of guilt to have the conviction stick. So as far as I'm concerned, after losing four years of her life I have no issue with her getting something in exchange for her lost time.

I feel badly for the family, but if Amanda Knox didn't do it, then there's no point in keeping her locked up. It won't bring any justice to the death of their daughter.
