The Daily Mail has become the scapegoat for online publication by major mistake of the wrong version of the sentence of Amanda Knox.

Knox won his appeal, but the journal's website first for an article entitled "Guilty. Amanda Knox bewilderment that the appeal against his conviction for murder is denied "

mail was not the only new British led to the error. Sun and Sky News and has also done - by hand - like the Guardian, in his live blog.

apparently a mistranslation of the judge sums up the problem, leading to blow up the gun documents.
