Overview
- Knox gave an on-record interview to Verissimo that will be broadcast on Canale 5, where she responded to criticism of her Edinburgh Fringe show 'Amanda Knox: Cartwheel'.
- She said the monologue does not make light of Meredith Kercher’s murder and argued that the Kercher family are 'hurt by the wrong person' for focusing anger on her.
- Knox described the wider episode as a story of misogyny, noted Rudy Guede is the only person definitively convicted for the crime, and reminded viewers she and Raffaele Sollecito were acquitted of murder in 2015.
- She reiterated an apology to Patrick Lumumba for his wrongful arrest, acknowledged the damage he suffered, and recalled that she was convicted for calunnia and has served that sentence.
- For the first time on television Knox appeared with her husband Christopher and their children, a move that has intensified media attention and kept the dispute with the Kercher family and their lawyer in the public eye without new legal actions reported.
