U.S. backlash grows as Hillary Clinton is called in over the jailing of Foxy Knoxy (Daily Mail 12/07/09)

Hillary Clinton has been drawn into the battle to overturn Amanda Knox's conviction.

Amid a growing U.S. backlash against the verdict, the American Secretary of State has agreed to meet a senator from 22-year-old Knox's home state of Washington.

On Friday night, Knox was found guilty of the drug-fuelled sex murder of British student Meredith Kercher and jailed for 26 years.

After the verdicts, Knox's furious father Curt Knox vowed to fight to clear his daughter's name and spoke of his 'anger and disbelief' at the Italian justice system.

His campaign seems to be gaining support on Capitol Hill. Senator Maria Cantwell, from Washington state, declared there were 'serious questions about the Italian justice system'.

She said she was concerned there had been an 'anti-American' feeling at the trial and said she would be raising her concerns with Mrs Clinton.

Mrs Clinton was asked about the trial in an appearance on a U.S. news programme.

She said: 'Of course I'll meet with Senator Cantwell or anyone who has a concern but I can't offer any opinion about that at this time.'

She said she had not expressed any concerns to the Italian government. Last night, Knox's Italian lawyer distanced himself from the senator's claims. Luciano Ghirga said: 'That's all we need, Hillary Clinton involved. I have the same political sympathies as Hillary but this sort of thing does not help us in any way.'

I pray Hillary doesn't get too involved in this, because this girl put an  innocent man behind bars saying he did it till he was freed and she admited this!  I don't think Americans are in the position to criticized anyones legal system especially when we let a guy out of jail  who murdered 4 cops.  This is only happening cause the girl is "pretty".

Actually Hillary is smart, just tell them she's busy, and will get back to them.

From what I understand, the State Department has been monitoring the trial, which is standard for when US citizens are on trial in a foreign country. But this isn't something Hillary herself would be directly involved in; she has bigger fish to fry.

If this girl is guilty then we should stay the hell out of this.  I believe that people from different countires come here and break our laws they should be thrown in jail its the same when we go to different countries and break their laws.
