Amanda Knox (born 1987) is an American woman who served 4 years of a 26 year prison sentence in Perugia, Italy, before being acquitted of the murder of Meredith Kercher (an English exchange student) on October 3, 2011, having been found guilty of the murder, of sexual violence, and of other offences on 4 December 2009.
Knox moved to Italy in 2007 to attend language classes at the University for Foreigners.[1][2] In November 2007, she was arrested as a suspect in the death of Meredith Kercher, her roommate,[3] and was subsequently tried and convicted for the murder. Her trial and subsequent conviction have been controversial in the UK and the United States with several investigators, such as Paul Ciolino[4] or veteran FBI Agent Steve Moore,[5][6] and legal experts stating that the charges were unfounded. In June 2009, due to all her televised court hearings, an Italian television poll listed Knox as a bigger personality than Carla Bruni.[7]
