12. Photographs of victims are always shown to the jury
in murder cases here. I don't think anyone likes it, but it is standard procedure. A friend of ours who is a criminal defense trial attorney frequently carries around envelops filled with gruesome photos of victims of murder which he shows to juries during trials.

I'm not following the rationale of the money claims here. Lawyers get paid regardless of success or failure. And the lawyer will most likely make money writing a book about this if that's what he is interested, win or lose.

I am not at all convinced that Amanda Knox is completely innocent in this case. I was never convinced she actually participated, but that she played some role in the murder.

This article sounds like a smear on the attorney. Where is the evidence to back up the claims that the lawyer used those photos only to make money?
