The accused Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend Italian Raffaele Sollecito have been found quilty of the murder of Meredith Kercher, they will both spend years in jail and have to pay the Kercher family millions in compensation. I think the knox family and Amanda Knox came across arrogrant which went against her. What do you think?

The conclusion the jury have come to, I think, is that Knox delivered the knife attack on Kercher while Guede and Sollecito aided her.

The Knox family see the Italian law system as flawed because it is quite different from the US system in terms of presentation of evidence, taking statements/confessions without lawyers, and the access jurors have to outside press/publications during the trial. So their concerns are understandable.
