Political Sex

Amanda Knox, best know as the chick Hayden Panettiere played in a TV movie, was convicted two years ago of murdering her British roommate because she wouldn’t participate in a drug fueled orgy while both were doing a study abroad program in Italy. And today, an appeals court has overturned the murder conviction after four years in prison. But don’t feel too bad for her, because she actually only spent one more year in jail than she would have, from this story:

The court upheld a conviction against Knox for slander, after she had falsely accused barman Patrick Lumumba of the murders. It sentenced her to three years in prison, a sentence which she has now already served.

Is it just me or is “Lumumba” hard to say? Even though the conviction was overturned, I have a feeling she’ll still have a hard time getting a roommate.

Oh yeah, this Knox-chick’s boyfriend – also convicted of the murder – was set free today as well. But no one cares.
