On March 17th, 2011, another innocent person entered the North Carolina prison system. Her name is Amanda Sperduti, or for those that know her well, "Mandy." She was in a car accident February 13th, 2010. Out of four people in the vehicle, Mandy was the only one to survive. What unfolded afterwards was an injustice. The investigating officer failed to follow protocal and allowed critical DNA evidence to be contaminated/destroyed. Mandy suffered a head injury that brought about retro-grade amnesia. Because of this injury, she has no memory of the accident or the events leading up to the accident. The evidence that didn't get destroyed was the damage to the steering wheel and dashboard. Mandy's injuries didn't match up. Also, Mandy's DNA was not found on the airbag.Three well respected experts stated the driver of this car couldn't have survived. Help us free this innocent person from the wrong doings of the judicial process.
Check out the website for more details on the injustice at amandasperduti.net.

She didn’t say anything about this in the courtroom when she was responding to the grieving parents. She killed 3 young people before they had a chance to live. This dumb waste of life gets to go out and create more awful humans.
face it - all four of them were equally at fault for getting hammered and getting in that car. three paid the ultimate price, and the fourth is in prison, her life ruined in some very important ways. i'm not saying she should (or shouldn't) get out. i'm just pointing out that classifying amanda as the killer and her equally inebriated willing passengers as her victims is not accurate. now, if she'd coerced or forced them to ride with her, feigning sobriety, or if the late teens had been in another car that amanda had careened into, that'd be different.
right, amanda wasn't the driver of her (mother's) car just like jose fernandez wasn't piloting his own boat. sure. on the other hand, i'm not sure why the late occupants of the car are victims and amanda is considered the lone perp. did she coerce them into riding with her, pretending to be sober? no, they were all hammered, they all decided to test their luck on the road, and sadly three out of four paid the ultimate price for what was their collective bad decision. now, if they'd hit another car, THOSE people would've been victims.
I’m sorry i knew one of the girls she killed Amanda Sperduti is getting out early I disagree I feel she should serve her 12 years she took 3 lives and feels no remorse and still takes no blame for her actions what is to keep the 28 year old killer from doing this to someone else’s child/ children she has all her friends in High Point convincingly thinking she was not driving the car and I’m sorry take responsibility you killed 3 people and would be doing life if you had not took a Alford ple deal then you have found a way to get out early all of your appeals were denied yet your getting out 4 years early She does not deserve to get out early!!!!!!!!
This is so unfair. It could have been any one of them who was driving that night and it just happened to be her. They were not forced to get in the car with her. She did not purposely kill them. They were ALL drinking that night.

Please help free Mandy. Please read her story and sign the Petition to free her.
Another breakdown in our justice system!!
Please share this message! Don't ignore because this is real!
This case is simialar to the Amanda Knox case. It smacks of a corrupt system and ignorance of the real facts!
Free Mandy!!
This case appears to be extremely shady in the way that it was handled by the state and it officials. It seems as if there is more than enough evidence to prove such that is being ignored by the officials that are supposed to represent the people. Wrongfully accusing a most likely innocent person is not going to bring any of the deceased back. It is also not going stop kids from getting in the vehicle and driving while impaired. All that it will do is boost the reputation and careers of the ones doing the wrongful accusing. This case needs to be considered again and reworked instead of being pushed aside as if no big deal. These are 12 years of an almost certain innocent young girls life that are being treated with no respect and regard all for career advancement and reputation. It is obscene that we live in a state that would allow this to happen. I am disgusted and ashamed.
Free Mandy!
No person should be denied to present valid evidence to defend the crimes of which they are accused. No person should be convicted of a crime based almost entirely on personal opinions surrounding justice and/or feelings developed through the media. Furthermore, it is a tragedy when respected experts provide evidence to prove the innocence of an accused party, and such evidence is ignored. Mandy, you do not deserve to be where you are, and I sincerely hope you are vindicated.
Poorly handled case.
Such a shame a young life destroyed because of someone wanting to make a name for themselves. Hope the truth is brought out and some thing is done.
Mandy, you have shown such amazing strength, character, and positivity throughout your experience. I cannot wait until you can come home where you belong. I love you!
This is a miscarriage of justice. TOO MANY young people are incarcerated after being wrongly convicted. PLEASE HELP right THIS WRONG.
The truth will come out. I've always believed that and still do. Pray for her daily
Put this and a summary on change.org!! Hope all is well Mandy.
Mandy deserves to have this looked at again, without the bias that was obvious in the trial that sent her to prison wrongly!
Good Luck Mandy. My prayers are with you.I know all the ppl involved ie. Cooke ,K.Bruckner etc. I think Guilford County should investigate a little more and bring the correct judgement forth. Keep your head up Smile that pretty smile
Time served and God bless all involved, affected.
She has been through enough already.
Praying for her and family.
Hope this works!!!
Hope this works!!!
Free Mandy!
After reading all this I believe she's innocent
Praying for you Mandi!! This is absurd reading all the factual evidence. Something will get done...
I believe 4 teenagers were drinking together unfortunately 3 of them did not make it. However no one should be prosecuted wrongfully. If this story is true my heart hurts for that young girl.
This is a horrible obstruction of justice! Amanda "Mandy needs to be freed and the corrupt NC system torn apart!
Please send me the address of prison so I can write her. I'm in my bed drinking coffee watching the news and just saw this. My jaw dropped. I'd love to write her some encouraging words.
I will pray for her. I would like to know where she is so I may go visit her, if she would allow it. My late son knew her and was very upset when she was sentenced to prison.
I am dismayed at the lack of justice in this case, at the wrongdoings by the "legal" people involved in the case. It seems to me that people wanted a scapegoat and found one in the only survivor. Shame on the "justice" system!
Mandy is a wonderful person....she was not the only one at fault that night! I'm just glad grace saved her!
This is not the only case I have followed/heard of where the person who has been harmed by our courts has no recourse but to accept. It is a real problem in our judicial system.
Free Mandy!
Such a travesty in our justice system.
It doesnt matter that these kids were doing all the wrong things....and it doesnt matter if Amanda was driving that car.....second degree murder.??? I dont know this girl but im disappointed in our justice system!! Career drunk drivers get 2 years for manslauter if that...why second degree murder???? Something needs to be done! She needs her case looked at again and her sentence reduced in the least!
I am praying for mandy's freedom. Justice will be done.
Free Mandy!! It's obvious she is innocent !!!
Tragic beyonds words but the accused is coming across like Casey Anthony. What's up with all the selfies and Facebook page? It's irrelevant who was driving, she willfully made the same bad choices that contributed to the death of three friends. Seven years is nothing! Please just show remorse, a little bit of class, a tad of unselfishness and make the rest of your life count
I am literally just finding out about this because I haven't lived in NC in a long time, but I knew Mandy when we were kids and I am appalled that the justice system has failed her so drastically. My thoughts and prayers are with you Sperduti family, as well as with the families of the young people lost.
How am I just finding out about this!?? Yes absolutely, the system has failed her! Hopefully the physics expert on the case can set things right.
How did the people in Brown Sumit get by with a slap on the wrist? They should have gotten the same as Amanda base on what little evidence they had. I think the trooper needed alot more than an EMT telling him "This is going to be your driver", that's not justice ,it's called railroaded. There should be someone out there that saw them leave Brown Sumit that may know who was driving,what happen is sad but to have to live with this and not know the truth has to be never ending pain.
She deserves a new unbiased trial and the prosecutors need to be replaced
She is an amazing person and deserves the truth to come out as it has!!! Great job girl!!! Love ya!!!!
Void her acceptance of the plea deal, and force a trial.
What a truly sad story. I am so disgusted with government and injustice. I hope and pray for Amanda and her family and for other family members involve. I hope she will be released soon so she can heal the way she should have been allowed to heal.
I now have reasonable doubt
Amanda is not a "victim". She was not "wrongly convicted" she "Plead Guilty". The definition of "Conviction" is: a formal declaration that someone is guilty of a criminal offense, made by the verdict of a jury or the decision of a judge in a court of law. The definition of Pleading Guilty is: If you plead guilty to a criminal offence (charge) it means you accept that you committed the offence and accept the facts as alleged by the police or other prosecuting body. The offence is contained in the prosecution notice. Amanda was the driver of that car that night. I know somebody personally who ran that call. It still haunts him to this day. He still has flashbacks he sits and wonders what could he have done different? The emergency personal, the 3 who died and there families are the victims. The so called "expert" who has made this video that's on the news doesn't show the car spiting in two pieces, if Amanda was in the back seat then she would have died too. The car was in two pieces about 20-30 feet part, where is that info in his video? The only part of the car still halfway intact was the drivers seat area. This is crazy to continue to bring up this case that was closed out years ago. The "tow truck driver" is the one who is responsible for cleaning up the car and debris NOT the emergency crews. So his so called statement about them throwing stuff in the car is far from the truth.
Innocent children should be protected, not put in prison. As a society, we have a mandate to help the hurt, weak and downtrodden. This story is an injustice.
Unbelievable.
Hello to all, I follow the affair Sperduti since the beginning via Internet. That Amanda drove the car or not is not important for me. I remember myself that the judge had ordered a spycologique expertise to make sure that the accused person can support the detention ; Amanda acts as example. She serves as scapegoat of a more and more severe repression towards the alcoholism which increases because of the evil to be people. Amanda and her friends were not in groaned, but they were not hooked on drinking or in the drug ; they partied by defying the prohibition as everything the young people of their age made it … I find particularly cruel to charge her the only fact that she is survived by losing her friends. Amanda has to have a very powerful guardian angel who protects her effectively ; it is a supernatural. 55 months of detention are expensive paid ; I hope sincerely that she can escape in the years of prison which remains in her to purge and what she finds those who loves it and the course of its life. English is not being my tongue or I express myself best, I apologize for the machine translation and hope that what will read to me will understand what I really think. To finish my thoughts go towards Mandy so that she remains strong in the events which are still in front of her. One day your agonies will come to an end, I hope that these few lines will give you a new breath. That God blesses you. Philippe Bonjour à tous, Je suis l’affaire Sperduti depuis le début via Internet. Qu’Amanda conduisait la voiture ou pas n’est pas à mes yeux important. Je me rappelle que le juge avait ordonné une expertise sphycologique pour s’assurer que la prévenue puisse supporter la détention ; Amanda fait office d’exemple. Elle sert de bouc émissaire d’une répression de plus en plus sévère vis-à-vis de l’alcoolisme qui augmente à cause du mal être des gens. Amanda et ses amis n’étaient pas à geint, mais ils n’étaient pas des accros à l’alcool ou à la drogue ; ils faisaient
The people that served the alcohol are as guilty need to bear the same burden of the person who lent out their car.
Too harsh of a sentence even if she is guilty.
How is it acceptable for this young ladies life to be taken when the scientific evidence proves her innocence. ...I am ashamed of this country's systems.
This whole thing is disgusting. If there is evidence she is not the driver, release her!
Prosecutors are paid to manipulate evidence and emotion to get a conviction, not to find the truth.
This is horrible. We have the most crooked legal system in this country
another case of the legal system rushing to conviction and wasting tax payer dollars while destroying a life. all evidence must be considered until a person is found guilty beyond a doubt. what a shame plea deals are, pressuring scared and hurt people into incriminating situations
Justice for Mandy!
Another dismal miscarriage.
....too many missing pieces here...needs a relook....time she's let out folks...if she was the best friend of my kid I would demand she be let out.....obviously they were all drinking .....and who knows for sure if she was actually driving....hasn't been proven and she has no memory.....
I have a problem with the justice system when they ruin evidence, just to pin someone as a scapegoat. These people -- all of them -- of them should be behind bars.
I am a lawyer - this is clearly a miscarriage of justice and Amanda should be immediately exonerated and released.
Free Mandy please ! Free her Lord and reveal the truth to the world. AMEN
This appears to be a continuing tragedy. I hope you all can find some peace with an immediate resolution.
Followed this story for a while..... It's a shame that she gets 12 yrs and she wasn't driving meanwhile ethan couch gets probation, flees to Mexico and still has a lesser sentence
If there is doubt...she should not be in jail.
There's vile, corrupt, little liars like this throughout our judicial system, they turn a blind eye to the truth and just bolster their conviction records! Mainly for political reasons
Any progress in securing her release? I believe it is Clear there is adequate evidence to justify revisiting this conviction and Sentence ! I'd be glad to provide a personal Letter if that might help. Good Luck! Michael
This case needs to be reexamined
I have read and watched everything that is available. SET HER FREE NOW!!!
Keep the Faith!
Poor thing, this would never happen in the UK. Evidence strongly suggests she wasn't the driver, and her three friends are gone, yet still she must be punished? Thoughts to her family and friends. I wonder if there's an address I can write to showing support to Amanda.
There is certainly reasonable doubt in this case, and if she is innocent she definitely be released.
Amanda Sperduti killed 3 people. She should burn in hell for eternity.
God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change- Courage to change the things I can- and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Free now ! je vois dans ton visage ta sincérité, t'est innocente et j’espère ta liberté bientôt. Desde Francia !
If I didn't know what unfair was, then I would definitely call this unfair. This kind of things makes you wonder the kinds of people that are working inside the penal system, maybe even question who are the real criminals. Who are wrapped up in the middle of all of this. Seems to me authorities have not a problem with misusing their power. It's a shame. To bad we have to be the ones suffering through all this nonsense. All I could say is stay strong and be brave, living through some tough times.
Have followed this case and whilst feeling extreme sorrow for the three young people who died and their families, I cannot see how all the evidence has been fully examined and considered, and therefore this would seem to me to be an unsafe conviction. Surely it must be morally and legally the right thing to do in re-examining this young lady's situation and the expert evidence to allow full justice to take its course. There must be reasonable doubt in the minds of so many people that Amanda was not, in fact, to blame. I hope that when this awful chapter of her life is truly over, she is able to rebuild her life and live without the tragic events of that awful night haunting her every day. Stay strong Amanda.
Law-enforcement rushed to judgment I myself have been involved in two major accidents and have seen countless others I have witnessed people thrones and vehicle and not in the same seat there originally started in I hope Amanda it's just us it's released and is back with her family she's already lost too many years of her life good luck
I really felt for the loss of three lives of people due to somebody made a wrongful Judgment to consume alcohol while behind the Driver's seat of the Car. It's also a criminal offence to give the keys to a drunk Driver to have him or her to have full control of the vehicle. Amanda could possibly face charges especially if that Vehicle is under her name.
The evidence speaks the truth! She is innocent! So disappointed in the system for this.

How is it acceptable for this young ladies life to be taken when the scientific evidence proves her innocence. ...I am ashamed of this country's systems.
This whole thing is disgusting. If there is evidence she is not the driver, release her!
Prosecutors are paid to manipulate evidence and emotion to get a conviction, not to find the truth.
This is horrible. We have the most crooked legal system in this country
another case of the legal system rushing to conviction and wasting tax payer dollars while destroying a life. all evidence must be considered until a person is found guilty beyond a doubt. what a shame plea deals are, pressuring scared and hurt people into incriminating situations
Justice for Mandy!
Another dismal miscarriage.
....too many missing pieces here...needs a relook....time she's let out folks...if she was the best friend of my kid I would demand she be let out.....obviously they were all drinking .....and who knows for sure if she was actually driving....hasn't been proven and she has no memory.....
I have a problem with the justice system when they ruin evidence, just to pin someone as a scapegoat. These people -- all of them -- of them should be behind bars.
I am a lawyer - this is clearly a miscarriage of justice and Amanda should be immediately exonerated and released.
Free Mandy please ! Free her Lord and reveal the truth to the world. AMEN
This appears to be a continuing tragedy. I hope you all can find some peace with an immediate resolution.
Followed this story for a while..... It's a shame that she gets 12 yrs and she wasn't driving meanwhile ethan couch gets probation, flees to Mexico and still has a lesser sentence
If there is doubt...she should not be in jail.
There's vile, corrupt, little liars like this throughout our judicial system, they turn a blind eye to the truth and just bolster their conviction records! Mainly for political reasons
Any progress in securing her release? I believe it is Clear there is adequate evidence to justify revisiting this conviction and Sentence ! I'd be glad to provide a personal Letter if that might help. Good Luck! Michael
This case needs to be reexamined
I have read and watched everything that is available. SET HER FREE NOW!!!
Keep the Faith!
Poor thing, this would never happen in the UK. Evidence strongly suggests she wasn't the driver, and her three friends are gone, yet still she must be punished? Thoughts to her family and friends. I wonder if there's an address I can write to showing support to Amanda.
There is certainly reasonable doubt in this case, and if she is innocent she definitely be released.
Amanda Sperduti killed 3 people. She should burn in hell for eternity.
God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change- Courage to change the things I can- and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Free now ! je vois dans ton visage ta sincérité, t'est innocente et j’espère ta liberté bientôt. Desde Francia !
If I didn't know what unfair was, then I would definitely call this unfair. This kind of things makes you wonder the kinds of people that are working inside the penal system, maybe even question who are the real criminals. Who are wrapped up in the middle of all of this. Seems to me authorities have not a problem with misusing their power. It's a shame. To bad we have to be the ones suffering through all this nonsense. All I could say is stay strong and be brave, living through some tough times.
Have followed this case and whilst feeling extreme sorrow for the three young people who died and their families, I cannot see how all the evidence has been fully examined and considered, and therefore this would seem to me to be an unsafe conviction. Surely it must be morally and legally the right thing to do in re-examining this young lady's situation and the expert evidence to allow full justice to take its course. There must be reasonable doubt in the minds of so many people that Amanda was not, in fact, to blame. I hope that when this awful chapter of her life is truly over, she is able to rebuild her life and live without the tragic events of that awful night haunting her every day. Stay strong Amanda.
Law-enforcement rushed to judgment I myself have been involved in two major accidents and have seen countless others I have witnessed people thrones and vehicle and not in the same seat there originally started in I hope Amanda it's just us it's released and is back with her family she's already lost too many years of her life good luck
I really felt for the loss of three lives of people due to somebody made a wrongful Judgment to consume alcohol while behind the Driver's seat of the Car. It's also a criminal offence to give the keys to a drunk Driver to have him or her to have full control of the vehicle. Amanda could possibly face charges especially if that Vehicle is under her name.
The evidence speaks the truth! She is innocent! So disappointed in the system for this.
