More than a decade has passed since Amanda Knox was freed from prison after serving time for the murder of her 21-year-old roommate Meredith Kercher while studying abroad in Italy. But what happened next? Knox’s new memoir Free: My Search for Meaning reveals the difficulty of reintegrating back into society. Ahead of the book’s release on March 25, Andrea Cavallier takes a look back at the high-profile case.
Amanda Knox spent four years in an Italian prison after being convicted, then acquitted, of the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher. In her new memoir, "Free: My Search for Meaning," Knox details how reading "Harry Potter" in Italian helped her learn the language, connect with other inmates, and navigate the legal system. She also discusses her struggles with reintegration into society and her unexpected correspondence with the prosecutor who initially imprisoned her.
