In 2009, Amanda Knox was wrongly convicted of the murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher. She should have been a footnote in a tragic story. But despite zero physical evidence linking her to the crime, she spent four years in prison. Amanda was vilified by the press and made infamous as ‘Foxy Knoxy’ in the tabloids.

After eight years on trial, she was finally exonerated in 2015. And yet, her release from prison was only the beginning of Amanda’s search for freedom. Who was she now that the world had branded her a killer?

Today, Amanda is a writer, podcaster, and advocate for criminal justice and media ethics. She joins Crime Story to discuss her new book, Free: My Search for Meaning.
