Could Amanda Knox become the Lizzie Borden of the 21st century?

Remember the jump-rope rhyme:

"Lizzie Borden took an axe,

And gave her mother 40 whacks,

When she saw what she had done,

She gave her father forty one.

Although Lizzie Borden was acquitted for the murder of her parents, the prosecution's grisly tale of the ax murderess was very popular in the tabloid press. And became a popular nursery rhyme.

    While Lizzie Borden murdered her parents could be a lie, people have heard it so many times they think it is true.

  • yea. but the difference is, that lizzie borden most likely did kill her parents. Amanda knox is obviously innocent to any one who truly looks at the case. Also, back in the day when Lizzie Borden Killed her parents, there wasn't any real forensic science around, so really no way of proving she did it for sure. in Amanda's case, there was no forensic evidence against her at all. none of her dna or anything was found in the murder room where meredith was killed.

    Amanda Knox took a knife gave her roommate 3 swipes, when she saw what she had done, she went to jail cartwheeling and having fun.

    BB TALK got that right! Perfect!

    I guess the sex game lobby wants it swept under the rug, because they usually kill indigent people with no one looking for them.

    Lizzie Bordan actually killed someone, though so, very slight chance.
