Do you think the DNA evidence will clear Amanda Knox? What are your thoughts on the trial?

This is a fascinating case, isn't it? I don't know the latest info though. Was there new DNA evidence presented? In her civil case?

Okay, so I read a news update. It's hard to say at this point whether they can surmount an appeal that would re-open the case.

And it is so hard to evaluate a case like this because we are only viewing it through the lens of the media.

I am sure that it will. This girl has been falsely accused and falsely imprisoned for a long time and she deserves to have her name cleared and to be home with her parents. I would never allow one of my children to go overseas for anything right now as it seems very dangerous. Look at the cases that are in the news- Natalie Holloway, Amanda Knox, etc.

Those are high profile cases that receive ultra media attention. I have hundreds of friends with young children, or single women, who live overseas and travel a lot. Those cases are not the norm. I would encourage you to not be afraid.
Having said that, it is important to take proper precautions, know what you are getting into, know who you can trust, and be thorough in research. I am afraid that a lot of people go overseas without proper research and precaution and blindly trust a situation. That isn't good.
