I have a general idea of Amanda Knox's story but I had never heard any specific details about the story like names or places or how she was treated. I find that with most aspects of society, especially with online activities, the people do tend to go for the crazy and outlandish stories. Once most people make up their minds about a person or story then it can be hard to change their viewpoints. No matter how many times Amanda may want to show the proof that she is an innocent person caught in the wrong place at the wrong time those people who paint her in a certain light will never change their viewpoints. Another story I can think of that shares some similarities is the Gypsy Rose case. Now Gypsy was active in the crime whereas Amanda was not active in her alleged crime. The main similarities between the two stories is how the media grabbed hold of it and that there are shows, movies, characters, etc, that are based of these real life people and the real things that happened to them. There are plenty of people who want to hold Gypsy as accountable as her at the time boyfriend and others who think she was innocent but a product of her surroundings. The way this little girl, that we were told at the time of the crime, was painted as a monster is insane to think about. But if that can happen to a young woman then anything can be thought about a mid twenties adult woman in a foreign country. The way the public romanticizes or dehumanize a person for actions they may or may not take can be insane to think about. These people who get treated this way almost never get to go back as a normal everyday person.
