...just felt they had no other choice. Both Greg Gilliam, a pastor in Independence, Mo., and his wife Chris, a clerical assistant, work full time. Chris' daughter Samantha, 18, and the couple's daughter Abigail, 6, are busy all day with school and extracurricular activities, not to mention the church functions that the family attends three times a week. Their collective schedule left little time for food-shopping, let alone preparing meals at home. "By the time we came home, it would be late, and we knew that eating late wasn't healthy," says Chris.

Father to three teenage daughters and a good Italian son who visits his ailing mother at lunchtime, he didn't choose the Knox case. He just happened to be on duty the morning she was arrested. He has inadvertently fueled the popular notion of himself as Knox's chief inquisitor by rising to the bait whenever he is criticized in the U.S. press, suing two virtually unknown American writers for allegedly slandering him, and engaging in a very...
