Amanda Marie Knox (born July 9, 1987) is an American woman who was accused of the murder of Meredith Kercher in 2007 in Perugia, Italy. She served almost four years of a 26-year sentence before the murder conviction was overturned, and she was finally acquitted of murder by the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation in 2015. In 2024, an Italian appellate court upheld Knox's calunnia conviction for falsely accusing Patrick Lumumba of murdering Kercher. Since her release, Knox has written books and appeared in documentaries and other media about her case. Read more on Wikipedia
