Daily Mail announces that Amanda Knox was found guilty

Remember this next time a mainstream journalist moans about bloggers...


Later. Look, I don't want to get sententious about this. We all know that the Mail makes things up.

But how does the paper explain the rest of the report, which WhatCulture! took the precaution of harvesting before it was taken down?
As Knox realized the enormity of what judge Hellman was saying she sank into her chair sobbing uncontrollably while her family and friends hugged each other in tears. 
A few feet away Meredith’s mother Arline, her sister Stephanie and brother Lyle, who had flown in especially for the verdict remained expressionless, staring straight ahead, glancing over just once at the distraught Knox family. 
Prosecutors were delighted with the verdict and said that ‘justice has been done’ although they said on a ‘human factor it was sad two young people would be spending years in jail’. 
Both Knox and Sollecito – who have always denied any involvement in the brutal murder – said they would take the case to the third and final level of appeal at the Supreme Court in Rome where it will probably be heard late next year.

Glorious. Did they have two versions of the story ready to go, both pre-written, and simply post the wrong one? News has to be so new these days that it must be tempting to write it before it's happened...
