The Amanda Knox murder case serves as a valuable lesson for high schoolers and college students: IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR CAN HAVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES!
An Italian court has just convicted the American college student who was studying in Italy of murder and some related charges, sentencing Knox to 26 years in prison. Whether you believe her family, friends and some American legal experts that Knox was convicted absent of any creditable evidence because the judges and jury did not have the courage to go against public opinion which had been poisoned by a demonizing media blitz, or if you agree with other American legal experts that there was enough scientific and circumstantial evidence to prove she was a murderer, the bottom line is that she set herself up for a hard fall.
The murder of her room mate appears to have been drug induced, in this case by Marijuana, that “innocuous” weed which its proponents claim is less harmful than alcohol. Knox’s alleged one-night sexual “hook-ups” with many different male partners also appeared to have played a part in this case.
Whether Knox actually committed the murder or not is really not the point here. High schoolers and college students apparently do not think about the unintended consequences that can arise from the use of illicit drugs and from the current practice of obtaining sexual gratification through frequent hook-ups, affairs that are absent of any romantic feelings. The Knox case should serve as a good example of why high schoolers and college students would be wise to put an end to irresponsible behavior.
