Amanda Knox is an American woman who gained international attention after being accused of the murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher, in Italy in 2007. Knox was a student studying abroad in Perugia at the time of the incident. Her trial and subsequent appeals were highly publicized, leading to widespread media coverage and public debate. In 2015, the Italian Supreme Court acquitted Knox of all charges, citing insufficient evidence. The case raised questions about the legal system in Italy and the role of media in high-profile trials. Knox has since returned to the United States and has written about her experiences.
