douglas has also made numerous appearances on various talk-shows, vouching for the innocence of amanda knox, an american exchange student who was convicted of murder in italy. the same judge mignini (the judge who convicted her) accused him of being an accessory to murder after doug criticized the italian police in his book ‘the monster of florence’. since he had absolutely no evidence to support his false claims, he had to let douglas go.
