The amount of evidence in favor of Troy Davis was pretty overwhelming. And yet, we know how that story ended.
Up to a few weeks ago, media was ready to grill Amanda Knox at the public stake. And yet, she walks free*.
No time for a more nuanced analysis (one that involves both European and American Justice systems and the obvious racial issues at play), but the difference between two outcomes is staggering.
*I do not wish to engage in whether she is/was innocent or not, just the perception of innocence in both cases and how they played out.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
