Summary
Amanda Knox became one of the most infamous names in true crime after her roommate, British student Meredith Kercher, was murdered while they were studying abroad in Perugia, Italy. What followed was a global media frenzy, the nickname “Foxy Knoxy,” and a case that would spiral through years of trials and appeals before Knox was ultimately exonerated. Knox breaks down the interrogation that helped shape the case against her, how assumptions turned into “facts,” and how the media narrative quickly transformed her into a villain before the evidence was understood. She also talks about surviving prison, reclaiming her identity after the world believed she was guilty, and why she now investigates controversial prosecutions and possible wrongful convictions, including in her podcast DOUBT: The Case of Lucy Letby.
