Amanda Knox: ‘ I felt utterly ostracised by the rest of humanity’ | 7

How do you cope when you’re sentenced to life in prison for a crime you didn’t commit? John speaks to writer and activist Amanda Knox, who was wrongfully incarcerated for the murder of Meredith Kercher at the age of just 22. Amanda spent a total of 4 years in an Italian jail before she was exonerated by Italy’s highest court in 2015. In a wide-ranging and candid conversation, Amanda talks about the methods she used, and the hope she leaned on, in order to get through her time behind bars. She discusses the unacknowledged misogyny at the heart of her case, and reflects on the ways Meredith’s death haunts her to this day.
