[0:20] We have confirmed that 20-year-old
[0:22] Amanda Knox has been taken into custody
[0:25] for her involvement in the murder of her
[0:27] roommate.
[0:30] Why would Amanda have brutally murdered
[0:32] her [music] roommate? For what? For what
[0:34] reason?
[0:37] >> This is a 20-year-old honor student from
[0:40] the University of Washington who's never
[0:42] been arrested, who certainly isn't a
[0:44] burglar, murder, dope dealing thief.
[0:47] >> She's absolutely [music] innocent.

[1:31] name is Nathan Abraham. I met Meredith
[1:33] Kercher at the welcome party we had at
[1:36] Merlin Pub. When all the new students
[1:38] arrive into Prouia, [music] we we have a
[1:40] welcome party for them. Everyone just
[1:43] comes here to learn the Italian
[1:44] language, get to know the culture, and
[1:46] get to meet new people.
[1:48] >> 20-year-old Amanda Knox has apparently
[1:50] confessed her role to Italian police.
[1:53] She's hung herself out to dry basically
