Amanda Knox

On 10 May 2011, Perugia Shock, a blog written by Frank Sfarzo that had been critical of prosecutor Mignini and Perugia law enforcement's conduct in the Kercher case, was shut down by court order. The order was granted by a Florence court to Mignini on the grounds of alleged defamation. The Committee for the Protection of Journalists sent a letter to the Italian government protesting the action. The blog's content was later restored on a new host.
Reaction of the Kercher family
The Kercher family have made clear their views that the trial was fair. On 2 December 2010, Kercher's journalist father, John, writing in the Daily Mail, condemned Knox's "celebrity" status, adding that the "Foxy Knoxy" nickname adopted by the media "trivialises the awfulness of her offence". He said of Knox; "As far as we are concerned, she has been ­convicted of taking our precious Meredith’s life in the most hideous and bloody way."
