Amanda Knox Murder Case Trial [UPDATE]: Convicted 'Foxy Knoxy' Won’t Have Support of Feminists; Evidence Too Strong To Doubt Innocence?

Amanda Knox murder case trial is still dividing the Internet as another self-confessed "feminist and liberal" wrote that the convicted student, "Foxy Knoxy," won't have the support of feminists everywhere because the evidence against her is too strong

Chelsea Hoffman wrote for All Voices site that feminism is about having the freedom to choose what women want to do with their lives, what they want to wear, where they want to go and what they want to think and believe.

"I believe Amanda Knox murdered Meredith Kercher along with her former boyfriend and Rudy Guede. I also differ from many of these folks in that I have observed the evidence, and I am not forming my opinion based on emotional responses to her being a young American girl who's been treated in a less than liberal way," she wrote.

"The slut-shaming and the overall misogyny that's been cast in her way is truly appalling -- I cannot defend such things -- but these things do not change the overwhelming evidence against her," she added.

Chelsea Hoffman said "there is far too much evidence against her for her to be completely innocent of wrongdoing."

She was reacting to the article written by Lisa Marie Baslie for HuffingtonPost when she appealed to female journalists to take the cudgels for the American student in light of Amanda Knox murder trial conviction.

"I am making an appeal to all feminists and people of rational thought: We need to speak out, regardless of our beliefs. Beyond the fact that no credible or realistic evidence places Knox or her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito at the scene of Meredith Kercher's murder," Luna Luna Magazine founding editor Lisa Marie Baslie wrote for HuffingtonPost.

She claimed that the media reports surrounding the Amanda Knox murder case trial and conversion "is an example of systematic character defamation -- the modern equivalent of throwing an accused witch into the lake to see if she drowns."

"I have hope that feminist journalists will start taking this case more seriously," she said. "If that seems judgmental, it's because we as a society -- and perhaps we as feminists -- have failed Amanda Knox."
