Anthony Weiner Target of Fake Twitter Accounts; Convict Says Amanda Knox Is Innocent

| via CBS |
- There's evidence that at least one person was involved in creating two fake Twitter accounts with the intent to gather information about Anthony Weiner, the Times reports. One phony account was of an alleged 16-year-old girl who tried to get Weiner to be her prom date; another one posed as the first girl's classmate. Whoever is behind these accounts contacted #bornfreecrew, the conservative watchdogs who kept a close eye on Weiner's Twitter behavior in recent months, but never gave them any information. They did, however, question other women they suspected of having contact with Weiner, like Ginger Lee and Gennette Cordova. Cordova said "there was something weird about it." [NYT]
- An Italian prison inmate testified that a fellow convict confessed that Amanda Knox, the American student convicted last year of killing her roommate in Italy, is innocent. The inmate, Mario Alessi, testified that Rudy Guede, who was also convicted in connection with the murder, told him Knox isn't guilty of the crime. [CNN]
