Closing arguments in the highly sensational Amanda Knox murder trial in Italy begin on Friday, with the fate of the American teenager on the line.
Knox, dubbed "Foxy Knoxy," by the Italian media, and her boyfriend are accused in the murder of Meredith Kercher , a British Student
The bizarre trial has made international headlines. One individual, Rudy Guede has already been convicted for playing a role in the death of Kercher. He is serving a 30-year sentence.
Guede took the stand this week to say that he played no role in the death and suspects that Knox and her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito may have been the perpetrators. On the stand this week he said he heard Knox and Kercher arguing over money moments before the crime occurred.
The grisly crime at a cottage in Perugia, Italy has sparked broad media attention, and media coverage there has largely portrayed Knox as cold and unsympathetic to her friend's homicide. Knox's parents, however, recently appeared on CNN's Larry King live to defend their daughter.

I predict a unanimous guilty verdict.
The defense did not address the incriminating evidence but focused on an unsubstantiated attack on the authorities.
She is as guilty as can be, that is for sure.
