Steve Moore is a man of integrity, a man who is here to make the world a better place. He should be commended for his principled stand.

What kills me about this is all the Amanda haters who constantly complain about the million dollar PR campaign and the paid bloggers. I've been called a paid blogger and worse many times. It's all a crock. Those who speak up for Amanda's innocence do so out of conscience. None of us are paid and some such as Steve Moore have sacrificed for speaking up.

Let us take a moment to compare Steve Moore to the Perugian prosecutor in the case, Giuliano Mignini.

A year before the Meredith Kercher murder an American author, Douglas Preston, was in Italy writing a book about a set of serial killings decades ago in the Florence area. He was critical of Giuliano Mignini's actions in the case. In order to combat this criticism, Mignini jailed Preston's co-author, Mario Spezi, and had Preston expelled from the country. Mignini conducted an interrogation of Preston where he accused Preston of being an accessory to the Florence serial killings. The idea that Preston was aiding a serial killer is of course a joke.

Mignini has since been convicted and sentenced to prison for corruption in that case. He was also harshly criticized by the New York based Committee to Protect Journalists. In Amanda's case he has been ridiculed in unprecedented language in the pages of the New York Times and on virtually every US cable channel. He is a disgrace to the Nation of Italy.

Steve Moore put his job on the line to confront an injustice. Thank you Steve. There are mice and men in this world. Steve Moore is a man and Giuliano Mignini is a mouse.

Another one to join the long list of collateral damage.

That is good.

I just noticed that the killers relatives might have had prior notice.

I am looking forward to the defamation trials.

They think they can just lie, lie and lie without consequences.

Let them prove their false statements.

In feel more of the supporters should be charged with defamation.

I rather have a monkey in charge of public safety.

Well anybody but the fantastic judge who receives guidance from his teen age daughter.

Steve is standing up for truth and justice. Drivel on you nasty guilters; your feeble arguments have no merit to stand on! People with integrity like Steve are not tainted by your idiotic sophomoric insults.

Steve Moore is willing to make sacrifices for what is right - and this shows his sincerity. We should be proud to have officials willing to stand up for justice!

Steve is truly a hero for standing up for what he believes in. He could just have easily kept his job and backed away from his position as a supporter of Amanda Knox. But he shows real integrity and a spirit of true bravery and courage for refusing to do that. The truth will set Amanda Knox and Raffaele free. Steve knows the truth is behind him.

Pepperdine University should be completely embarrassed by their action against Steve.

My above reply was meant for Phanuel, Heather, and all those who recognize a genuine hero!

Is the dud going to give more interviews?

Amanda Knox would have had a better chance in life if she had had responsible parents.

I am not surprised that she ended up a murderess.

I hope the other kids get put into foster care so that they are not under the influence of those parents.

We have seen what happened with Amanda Knox and we do need more murderers for this family, or am I not right?

Pepperdine University should be embarrassed for not standing behind Steve Moore. He stepped forward with his knowledge and experience to help a wrongfully convicted girl. It seems Pepperdine does not value courage, purpose and the pursuit of justice. He is the perfect example to show Pepperdine students a meaningful life full of purpose. Instead Pepperdine chose to teach students that doing the right, moral and self-less thing will not go unpunished. That justice is only of value if it doesn't interfere with the university.

Moore could have some credibility if he actually knew the evidence of the case (whether he agreed with it or not). Time and again on his TV appearances, he quite clearly does *not* know the objective evidence which is not in dispute by either defence or prosecution. There are multiple instances where he has not known the timings of key events in the crime. He suggested that the forensic examination was corrupt because it should have been conducted somewhere far away from Perugia, like Rome. (It WAS conducted in Rome). He has claimed on national television that Amanda was "beaten" and that he interrogation was "just short of waterboarding" which is horrendous hyperbole which should be a major clue to his faculties of investigation. (As anyone on either side knows, Amanda's claim is that she was clipped over the head twice at that's *it* - wrong if true but a billion miles from the hysterical claims of waterboarding and beating).

He lacks judgement because Amanda's lawyers in Italy have publicly disapproved of his presence because he's actively harming her chances. Worse, for someone who would help someone on an *appeal* he says he hasn't even read the judges's 400+ page written report so he doesn't actually know the case against her which is what he's *supposed to be fighting*. Moore is all talk and no substance. His judgement and knowledge on the case should be a major warning flag to those who support Amanda that this is a guy who doesn't actually back up his claimed (but mysteriously unclear) credentials. He's just a guy who has been revved up by the PR story for her defence who is trying to make a name for himself. And hurting Amanda Knox's chances while he does it.

"Steve Moore took a public stand on the verdict in Perugia based on documented credentials:"

His credentials?
He was a low level operative.

It is entirely clear to me why he never progressed to a higher position.

He has not the brain of Judge Heavey or Anne Bremner.

It is completely inconceivable how a fool can go on national television empty handed and make absurd and false claims.

Do I believe the 19 Judges and 6 jurors or a person who seem to behave like a complete fool.

How could any sane person employ him?

What was he thinking when he irresponsibly introduced his family on TV?

There was no doubt that his suicide mission would fail, why does he what his family going down with him.

He is just another Knox agent in a long line of very ordinary sock puppets and he will not be the last one who will ruin him/herself for the murderess.

As a homicide investigator for thirty plus years, I can safely say that you have not read the facts. Knox is innocent."

Amanda Knox can not be innocent, her DNA is on the murder weapon.
She is a compulsive liar which she might have learned form her three parents.

The lying seems to be a family thing.

You are most likely just a relative of the killer.

It is well known that the killer's relatives wall paper the Internet with lies and it is starting to annoy people.

The dishonesty that I see is breath taking.

Her relos will be disappointed because the killers appeals will fail and that is good.

Here she would be appealing the death penalty.

Do you believe that Pepperdine would have hired him if he didn't have proper credentials? You may not have read the full article or you would know that your assertion about 'low level operative' is based on a poor set of Google search skills.

"I am absolutely ashamed of Pepperdine University.

They should have supported his efforts instead of fired him."

You can't be serious!
Aline themselves with liar and con artists.

Thanks to Steve Moore !! You have show the highlest level of integrity and personal sacrafice. The world needs more people in the world like you. People who are willing to step forward to help others even at personal cost. Amanda Knox is fortunate to have gained the support of such and honorable man.

"Thanks to Steve Moore !! You have show the highlest level of integrity and personal sacrafice."

Your brain seems to be as dysfunctional as wonder boy's brain.

I have a hard time believing any former FBI man would have family that was so easy to trace. (as per your last article, Mr. Shay, wherein Mr. Moore claims someone contacted his daughter/wife) Does that not strike anyone as extremely unlikely? Further, Mr. Shay, you mentioned in your last piece that Mr. Moore was instrumental in obtaining a confession out of a man. A quick search online tells us that the man in question turned himself in and confessed. Perhaps a little more information on that case, as it seems contradictory to Mr. Moore's claims.

I am not doubting he is what he claims to be, but with these two simple examples, I can certainly understand why he is no longer with the FBI.

Pepperdine was correct. They offered him the option of resigning. He chose to be fired. He is on record stating that he would allow his OWN daughter to room with a convicted murderer. How safe do you think mothers and fathers would feel sending their child to a school with someone in charge of student safety making a statement like that? They will take their money elsewhere, and with good reason.

I have to be brutally honest, but Steve Moore could not possible even make the D-team, no chance at all.

Is Moore going to Italy any time soon?

He needs a defamation law suit just like the other compulsive liars supporting the killer Amanda Marie Knox.

The safe, bureaucratic mode of action is always to avoid controversy, don't go out on a limb, etc. etc. But there are some people in this world who can't live with themselves unless they do the right thing. Steve is one of those people. Emile Zola was another... he wrote "J`Accuse!" and he paid a steep price for those words. But he was right. And Steve Moore is right. And in the end, Dreyfus went free, just as Amanda and Raffaele will go free."

Hello Charlie,

Candace Dempsey never deleted your posts.

I personally do not sympathize with the killer and if I were you, I would distance myself form the unethical agents working for the killer.

...and that includes the dunce.
