It was a study-abroad adventure turned nightmare. Two years ago, 21-year-old Meredith Kercher, a foreign-exchange student from England, was found dead in her apartment in Perugia, Italy. That would have been shocking enough, but it got worse: One of the suspects charged was Kercher’s American roommate, Amanda Knox, a fellow foreign-study student. She and two others have been accused of murder, sexual assault, and theft. Their dramatic trial has fascinated the world, and the Web — searches on “amanda knox trial” are up over 100% in the last seven days. A verdict is said to be coming in soon. Buzz is on the case. Here, a roundup of the key players:
The victim
Meredith Kercher had been in Perugia, Italy, only two months before her murder on November 2, 2007. (Prosecutors say she was killed for refusing to participate in a drug-fueled sex game.) The British student hailed from Coulsdon, Surrey, and attended the University of Leeds. She came to Perugia as part of her European Studies degree, with her focus being politics and Italian. The multitalented student also appeared in a music video. Since her death, the university has awarded her a posthumous degree. Her father, John Kercher, a freelance journalist for the Daily Mirror, recounted his last memories of his daughter, writing of her “zest for life.” Meredith’s mother, Arline, testified to her heartbreak at the trial: “We will never, never get over this. It’s such a shock to send your child to school and not have her come back.”
The defendents
Do not brand her “an assassin,” Amanda Knox told the jury in her emotional final statement — in fluent Italian. But the University of Washington student accused of murder has been called many things. The brown-haired, often-smiling 21-year-old has electrified Italian media, who have dubbed her the “devil with an angel’s face” and have adopted her American nickname, “Foxy Knoxy.” (Her family said the moniker comes from her childhood skills on the soccer field, and does not have more salacious implications.) She’s been portrayed as either the girl next door or an evil man-eater, and has inspired at least 11 Facebook fan groups — all Italian.
In the fight for public opinion, Knox’s parents have been high-profile defenders. They were even served legal papers for an accusation they made in the press, alleging that the Italian police beat their daughter. Knox, who has been jailed for the last two years on suspicion of stabbing her roommate to death, said she was “horrified” by the murder and thought of Kercher as her friend. The prosecution thinks differently, although their evidence has been called inconclusive.
The lead lawyer for Raffaele Sollecito, the 25-year-old Italian ex-boyfriend of Amanda Knox, said during the trial that Sollecito and Knox had “fallen in love” a week before the murder. The computer science graduate has also been in jail for the last two years. Sollecito claims he wasn’t at the house at the time of the murder and, along with Knox, has pleaded innocent. The co-defendent begged the jury to believe him, asking them, “Why would I want to commit something so horrible as murder?” If convicted, both he and Knox face life sentences.
Rudy Guede, a citizen of the Ivory Coast, was also accused of being in the roomates’ house on the night of the stabbing. He fled to Germany after the murder, but was extradited, convicted in a separate trial for murder and sexual assault, and sentenced to 30 years. He is appealing his conviction.

“Singin’ in the Rain.” “Saturday Night Live.” “Star Wars.” “Purple Rain.” “Dirty Dancing.”
If you are of a certain vintage, you know these titles aren’t just generational films. The soundtracks provide the musical backdrop of their era. For this week’s movie releases, the songs for “Bandslam” and “The Time Traveler’s Wife” debuted in stores and online Tuesday. “District 9“—the most-searched movie of the week and the touted “stealth” summer hit—features some unusual music and an African-influenced score from Clinton Short. He’s been called “ composer to watch, but the deal for releasing his soundtrack didn’t close until days before the premiere.
That might be a coincidence, but even in the digital download era, soundtracks just aren’t the money-makers they used to be. Industry execs told The Wrap that studios think this hallowed tradition is “a waste of time.” Universal Pictures hasn’t bothered with a musical “Bruno” release. Likewise with Sony’s stalker thriller “Obsessed,” even with Beyonce as its star.
Plus, now that consumers are used to picking out a tune at a time, compilations from a film experience aren’t doing that well, even when iTunes requires that folks buy the whole album. The Wrap gives examples of weak sales compared to past hits, such as “Transformers 2″ versus the first, or “500 Days of Summer” vs. “Garden State.” (Notable latter-day exceptions: Hannah Montana and, of course, “Twilight.”)
One columnist from “The Wrap” spreads the blame around, and believes the soundtrack’s downfall started in the 90s, when studios opted for cheap tunes rather than original music. Record companies also may have charged too much (and ended up selling the same song over and over).
But some people do. Weak sales or not, below’s a Yahoo! Search playlist of popular movie soundtracks from the past 30 days. Incidentally, in the past 7 days, soundtrack demands have been high for films from the late John Hughes, who really knew the score for a generation. Could any of these below define the current one?

The stereotypical Whole Foods shopper is not a gun-toting protester. Instead, the natural-food consumers carry reusable totes. But some shoppers of the organic market are up in arms over a Wall Street Journal editorial by John Mackey, the store’s CEO, decrying Obama’s push for health care reform.
The head of the company warned that the president’s plan would move the country “much closer to a complete governmental takeover of our health care system.” Hold on. The head of Whole Foods, the market that serves high-end hippies with bleeding hearts and large wallets, publicly criticized Obama? Does the guy know who shops at his store?
Just in case not, some shoppers are putting down their locally sourced zucchini and signing on to a boycott. The Boycott Whole Foods Facebook group already has over 27,000 members. In the last seven days alone, searches on “whole foods boycott” have surged 300%. Other queries on the controversy include “john mackey whole foods,” “whole foods wall street journal,” and “whole foods health care.”
The movement has moved from the Web to the street, with picketers at stores in places like West Hollywood, Austin, and New York City.
After the overwhelmingly negative reaction from customers, Mackey tried to make nice on his blog. It wasn’t Whole Foods talking, he wrote, it was just him. But supporters of health care reform failed to see the difference. While the financial impact to the store has been minimal, the online impact has been notable: Over 17,000 comments to the Whole Foods Web Forum on the topic alone, compared with 250 posts on favorite recipes.
We’re guessing Mr. CEO is going to have to make nice to his staff for handling all those comments, too.
