Amanda Knox

2021 film directed by Tom McCarthy

Amanda Marie Knox is an American author. She came to international prominence after being convicted for the November 2007 murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher, in Perugia, Italy, a trial that was highly publicized between Knox's conviction in 2009 and her acquittal two years later.

Meredith Susanna Cara Kercher was a British student on exchange from the University of Leeds who was murdered at the age of 21 in Perugia, Italy. Kercher was found dead on the floor of her room. By the time the bloodstained fingerprints at the scene were identified as belonging to Rudy Guede, an Ivorian migrant, police had charged Kercher's American roommate, Amanda Knox, and Knox's Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito. The subsequent prosecutions of Knox and Sollecito received international publicity, with forensic experts and jurists taking a critical view of the evidence supporting the initial guilty verdicts.
