Stunning Interview by Amanda Knox with Chris Cuomo

Amanda Knox spoke out yesterday to Chris Cuomo on CNN. She denies her involvement in the murder of Meredith Kercher and her words, like many times before, stun me.

Listen to Amanda Knox’s speech pattern.

She says, “(huh)  I…believe…I mean, I can’t speculate what this judge’s motivations…personal motivations or otherwise…What I can say is that…as…this…case…has progressed…….the evidence…that the prosecution has claimed exist against me….has been…has been proven less and less and less.”

Amanda clearly connects the thoughts of “evidence” with “proven”.  The fact she connects these words blows my mind.  Most people who are innocent wouldn’t think they have “proven less” anything because there is nothing to prove. Period.

After all this time, I am also stunned at how she can’t make a clear cut rejection of her involvement immediately.  Instead she we see incomplete thoughts and hesitations. She tells us the claim has been less and less. To me this is not rejecting her involvement. She is merely saying that they have less and less against her, which supports guilt.

If you were honest and uninvolved, would you even entertain this thought?

I have put dots in place where Amanda hesitates in her words above. What you are seeing is incredible cognition, and the fact that Amanda Knox has to think so much when telling the truth is shocking. If she was not involved and an innocent victim, she wouldn’t have to think to talk about how she is being wrongly accused. It would come out of her strongly and flow without any hesitation and thinking, but we don’t see that. Instead we see incredible control and manipulation, and she still fails.

Next Amanda says, “I did not kill my friend. I did not wield a knife. I had no reason to.”

She finally got out her denial, but it was more important to insult the judge on his personal motivations first. Stunning.

I am surprised she would even entertain talking about wielding a knife. Honest people who were not there or involved would never even consider talking about holding or wielding a knife because its so far from the truth and too painful to even entertain because its flat out WRONG.

She continues, “I….I was…in the month we were living together, we were becoming friends.”

Was Amanda trying to become friends with Meredith? Because at first she says “I was…” and then she says “they were”. Can you see the manipulation added on to the cognition going on?  Wow.

Amanda goes on, “A week before the murder occurred, we went out to a classical music concert together. Like…we had never fought. There is no trace of us.”

Amanda’s thoughts are really disjointed.  She wants to suggest they didn’t ever fight. She doesn’t deny it, she throws it out as an example “Like we had never fought.”  If you notice, she doesn’t say “We didn’t fight!”

Then Amanda’s next thought switches entirely from her being friends with Meredith to “There is no trace of ‘us'” — I suspect she means herself and Raffaele.  Why are her thoughts so disjointed? It’s as if Raffaele comes to mind when she thinks about her and Meredith and fighting.  Interesting.

Amanda continues, “If Rudy Guede…committed this crime…which he did…we know that because his DNA is there…on the…on Meredith body, around Meredith’s body.”

Wow.  Amanda doesn’t own that Rudy Guede actually did this at first.  Then she corrects!!  If she was innocent, I would expect she would believe Rudy Guede was the murderer for sure without any doubts!!  This is a stunner.  Why would she question it with the word “IF” unless she knows something different?  I think all people accept Ruede Guede’s involvement, and Amanda shows clearly she doesn’t believe it as fact.  Wow. The implications here are HUGE and shocking to me.

She continues about Guede, “His hand prints and foot prints in her blood. None of that exists for me and if I were there, I would have had traces of…Meredith’s broken body on me…and I would have left traces of myself….around…around Meredith’s corpse….and I…I am not there…and that proves my innocence.”

This sentence above that Amanda says is fascinating on multiple levels because she shows emotions for the first time and it seems to revolve around Meredith’s “broken body” (aka blood?) being on her. It’s odd she can’t say the word “blood” and that this evokes emotion, too.  It seems to really hit a personal cord with her.  If you were not there, there would be no emotional connection at this point in the speech for you on this element because there would be no emotional memories, but Amanda has some. I’m blown away. I believe she likely did have blood on her now.

Amanda also says in present tense, “I am not there”.  She doesn’t say I WAS NOT there, which is a normal recollection. Instead, we seeing her say what she wants us to believe–not what is the truth.

By Amanda Knox’s response to the question “Were you with Rudy Guede at the apartment that night?”, I do not believe Amanda here. I DO believe she was with Guede. There is a look of fear in Amanda’s face at this point that is palpable.

Listen to Amanda Knox’s loss of confidence when she answers the question of was there a fight over money witnessed that night with Rudy Guede? Amanda says “no” very deflated and without any confidence whatsoever.  This is stunning.

At the end, Amanda says, “I truly believe it is possible to win this and to bring…to bring an end to all of the speculation and the nonsensical theories and really bring peace to everyone who has suffered from this experience.”

Wow.

If you were put in prison for several years, accused of a crime and treated with suspicion as Amanda has for years, would you truly believe you can win?  I don’t think so. You would have lost too much already.  If you were involved in the murder, however, you might very well think you have won, if you got away with it, wouldn’t you?

This is Amanda’s most revealing interview to date, and it makes sense. The stakes are very high right now for her.

I am also stunned at how Amanda thinks that this case can go to a place for the Kercher family where they will have “peace” (” really bring peace to everyone”). I think anyone of a reasonable mind can see the Kercher’s will never get peace unless someone tells us what truly happened.  The only one Amanda is thinking about is herself here. A true victim would know it is unlikely anyone will get the full truth because the investigation is so botched, but not Amanda!

I did not believe Amanda Knox from day one. I have always believed she was there that night and covered her ears at some point (by her own words), but that she twisted facts and lied to cover and protect herself on some level (what level I didn’t know). But the more I see of Amanda Knox, and especially after this interview, I believe she was there, was involved and had blood on her.  Physically. That is all I can say, but that say a whole lot.

I’m stunned by what this interview reveals.  It will take some time to shake this. I didn’t expect this at all.

Amanda Knox talks to Chris Cuomo

I watched most of the Amanda Knox interview last night with Chris Cuomo, and one element of her interview was really striking to me.  Amanda’s behavior changed dramatically as she answered different questions.

When Amanda spoke from the heart, her words flowed like water–very fluid. But other times, it was clear she was self-censoring every. single. thing. she. said.  That change in behavior stood out like a beacon in the night.

Most people always chose a side when looking at person and trying to determine if they are truthful or deceptive.  The reality is, however, that people who are deceptive often sprinkle their story with the truth, too. It sells better.  Deception detection is never all black or all white. It’s almost always a mix, but people are usually on one side of the fence of the other.  She’s either ALL honest, or ALL lying –which couldn’t be further from the truth!

I honestly think Amanda Knox would have been much better to stay quiet. What she reveals in her interviews doesn’t do her any favors whatsoever.

The most ridiculous comment Amanda made last night was when she stays in hotels she cries so hard that people in neighboring rooms report her.  Have you ever heard such nonsense?   Yes, she may be crying, but intentionally loud so people will say “I heard her cry”.  It’s absurd.

Having seen Amanda Knox speak out now, I feel stronger than ever that she is not leveling with us about what she knows happened the night Meredith was murdered.  She knows more than she’s telling, if you ask me without question.
