Amanda Knox became a global headline after being wrongfully convicted of the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy. Her case, marked by media sensationalism and a deeply flawed legal process, spanned nearly a decade before her ultimate acquittal in 2015. Now, as an advocate for criminal justice reform, Knox uses her platform—including her podcast Labyrinths—to tell her side of the story and advocate for others who find themselves in a similar situation.
She talks to Imran Garda about Meredith Kercher’s murder, why wrongful convictions happen, how media bias plays out and creates a narrative that influences the judicial process — and what makes the truth just so hard to come by.
