Amanda Knox Speaker Profile: At A Glance
Exoneree, journalist, and NYT bestselling author Amanda Knox spent four years in an Italian prison and eight years on trial for a murder she didn’t commit. The scandal made headlines for nearly a decade, as Amanda–dubbed “Foxy Knoxy”–was exploited by the media and judged by the masses globally. Though she was exonerated by Italy’s highest court, she was sentenced to life by the court of public opinion, forever branded as a killer despite her innocence. Since her exoneration, Amanda has fought to reclaim her identity and find meaning in those stolen years and unjust incarceration, all while advocating for a more just legal system.
