YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAmanda Knox falsely confessed to murder after law enforcement subjected her to "psychological torture." Now she wants to stop it from happening to others.
Today's guest is Amanda Knox, an activist, writer, and host of the podcast Labyrinths. In 2007, while studying abroad in Italy, Knox was accused of murdering her roommate, Meredith Kercher, in what the lead prosecutor claimed was a bizarre sex game gone wrong. Despite mishandled DNA, a coerced confession, and a lack of credible evidence, Knox was convicted and spent nearly four years in an Italian prison before being exonerated in 2015. Her case was a media spectacle that sensationalized every aspect of her life.
Reason's Billy Binion talks with Knox about her views on true crime after her story became one of the biggest examples of the modern era: the psychological impact of being imprisoned for something she didn't do. They also discuss what Knox thinks the U.S. criminal justice system gets right and wrong, and how she reacts to people who still believe she's lying. She shared a fascinating tidbit about her relationship with the lead prosecutor on her case—something that will be featured more in her new book Free, which is available for preorder.
