Amanda Knox Premieres Hulu Series on Wrongful Murder Conviction

Amanda Knox, wrongfully convicted for the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy, endured a grueling 53-hour interrogation marked by language barriers and police coercion, which led to false self-incrimination and intensified scrutiny from prosecutor Giuliano Mignini, who built a conspiracy-laden case against her. Knox's ordeal, including her panic attack during a police reenactment and the misinterpretation of a text message that contributed to her arrest, is dramatized in the Hulu series "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox," for which she serves as executive producer. Since her 2015 acquittal, Knox has become a prominent advocate for criminal justice reform, openly discussing the psychological toll of wrongful convictions and participating in innocence conferences and public speaking. She candidly shares her story with her children, emphasizing transparency and resilience. Knox’s experience highlights systemic flaws in the Italian judicial system and the media's role in shaping public perception during high-profile cases. Her ongoing advocacy underscores the critical need for reform to prevent miscarriages of justice worldwide.
