Summary
Amanda Knox was a 20-year-old study-abroad student when her British roommate Meredith Kercher was brutally murdered in Perugia, Italy. Within days, Knox went from college kid to global villain, dubbed “Foxy Knoxy” by tabloids and thrust into one of the most infamous murder cases in modern history.
Knox joins Killer Thriller to talk about the interrogation that changed everything, spending years in prison, the media frenzy that took over the case, and what it’s like to rebuild your life after the world decides you’re guilty. Today, Knox works to expose controversial prosecutions and wrongful convictions, including in her latest podcast, DOUBT: The Case of Lucy Letby.
