Damn, they seriously need to leave you the hell alone.

avgindot.bsky.social•36 days ago

Amanda,
Just remember that the author who dreamed up the 7th circle of hell lived in Italy, where all good government goes to die...
Beautiful country, beautiful people, horrible government...
Peace be with you.

lennyjacobson.bsky.social•37 days ago

Good luck tomorrow.

I hope justice prevails for you, finally and with finality.

Think of you and rooting for you.

roadmeetsfeet.bsky.social•36 days ago

Amanda, I hope you make it here to Australia one day. We'd love to have you.

I'd apologise for our Government's decision, but I didn't vote for them.

sharedplanet.bsky.social•37 days ago

Good luck! Lots of folks are rooting for you!

ohanathecat.bsky.social•37 days ago

msmith616.bsky.social•36 days ago

You are strong. Remember that always.

jocastaway.bsky.social•37 days ago

I’m hoping you finally are cleared of this atrocious charge

May all go well for you tomorrow

ajnyx.bsky.social•37 days ago

Amanda, I am rooting for you. I'm hoping for the best possible outcome after so much fighting. I was once convinced of your guilt, but the years since have taught me so much about the world, and myself. We are strangers, but I have grown because of you and your story. I admire you. You ARE innocent.

sharpsbucket.bsky.social•37 days ago

Just keep breathing, that’s the key. (If you’re a different kind of nerd than I am, that’s a Lord of the Rings movie reference not sure if it’s in the books). No matter what else happens, please keep watching until you see the Pine Barrens episode- it is a masterpiece.

yobobloblaw.bsky.social•37 days ago

It’s hard to believe you are still having to deal with this. It seems the Italian courts are so focused on saving face that their credibility and integrity have disappeared. I hope you can finally get the peace and exoneration you deserve.

wowindescribable.bsky.social•36 days ago

Sorry to hear about this. 🥲

I can’t even imagine. With you all the way.

d-99.bsky.social•36 days ago

I lived in West Seattle at that time. Couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I believe that the court will reverse the earlier decision but either way, just know that there are a lot of people who are happy that you are home.

dangerjane.bsky.social•37 days ago

An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere. You're innocent and they got embarrassed. I hope it goes your way

Hold tight. We're sending good vibes for justice to prevail. They're mad because your case shined a spotlight on their ridiculousness and ineptness.

newsmanatl.bsky.social•36 days ago

Today’s ruling is a further blemish on the Italian judicial system, not on your reputation. No one who knows anything about your case will ever think otherwise.

Someone else said it, but, keep breathing: take some long, cool, cleansing breaths and revel in the fact that you are innocent and worthy of living your best life.

outofnames.bsky.social•37 days ago

Amanda, my god. I didn’t fully realize they were still pursuing you like this. I am so sorry, and you have my best wishes.

I’m an American lawyer and the very concept of “criminal slander” is so bizarre to me.

maruva.bsky.social•36 days ago

I am sorry for everything that you have gone through. You are a courageous woman. I wish you only the best. 🙏

sktrkstkcksk.bsky.social•36 days ago

Here’s what I don’t get, Amanda…their Supreme Court ordered the Prosecution Team to admit they violated your rights by not providing you w/ an attorney or interpreter during that interrogation.

Yet, the Slander conviction STILL is upheld based on that unconstitutional interrogation?

Just WILD.🤦‍♀️

sktrkstkcksk.bsky.social•36 days ago

Also…AUSTRALIA, of all places, denying you a Visa? Do they not know their own history?!🤪🤪🤪

sutherland.pw•36 days ago

UK does the same - 12+ month sentence = "mandatory" denial of entry clearance. Anything shorter, you can be allowed in after a year.

So sorry Amanda, I can hardly believe even they are still trying to save face like this :( *hug*

amandaknox.com•36 days ago

Yep. It's crazy.

kelita13.bsky.social•36 days ago

I’m just so gutted for you, Amanda! It makes no sense. You were victimized in that room. You are not the one at fault for what happened. Sending all the hugs again. I am just so sorry!

ghackenschmidt.bsky.social•36 days ago

Sorry Amanda.

It's BS.

smrodman.bsky.social•36 days ago

I’m so angry about this and so sad for you. What a joke. I suppose seeking a presidential pardon is entirely unrealistic?

brendainseattle.bsky.social•37 days ago

Really hoping this goes your way.

rachelmartn.bsky.social•36 days ago

Wishing you strength and peace as you continue to navigate this. Remember you’re a badass and breathe.

Research into wrongful convictions/junk science radicalized me. I went back to school & switched careers - paralegal in criminal defense. I’m volunteering for a wrongful conviction clinic soon.

gnpowell.bsky.social•36 days ago

On your side.

kelita13.bsky.social•36 days ago

I may not be a *total* stranger, but I’m still sending you the biggest virtual hugs I can manage! No matter what happens, we know and you know you are innocent, but I really hope they *finally* do the right thing by you! ❤️

amandaknox.com•36 days ago

kelita13.bsky.social•36 days ago

FYI I’m not able to sleep either and keep checking for news. I want this for you so bad.

I've been reloading news pages for ages and trying to think positive thoughts too. Sending fresh hugs and hoping you feel much better very soon!

kbeau.bsky.social•36 days ago

You and I have a connection. Tenuous, but I'm counting it! Husband and I were on that long ago flight from Heathrow to Seattle with you and your family. We never saw you, but we were with you all the way (literally). And we are still. May justice prevail.

amandaknox.com•36 days ago

dookielazer.bsky.social•37 days ago

Not many people can say they’ve had to fight, as an individual, an entire country’s justice system and corruption problem. I don’t think I’ll ever know what that feels like, but I’m amazed you’ve remained on your feet at all.

northwyndewhisper.bsky.social•36 days ago

In my beloved circle of women friends, we say, "I am holding you in light and love." That's what I am doing. From the day I first read of your case, it hit me hard. Perhaps because my daughter is named Amanda and is only a year older than you. I've always been on your side. I still am.

paulie458.bsky.social•36 days ago

Stay strong, you got this. 👊🤞👍

My mother actress Martha Stewart was a big fan of yours Amanda. She always believed in your innocence. She followed your case very closely. I am crossing my fingers for you to be finally set emotionally free from this last false charge.

I feel this one...when I was sentenced I had a plea deal for 10 months in jail...but, at the sentencing, the judge pulled a fast one, said he wouldn't support my plea, and sentenced me to prison...I almost fainted

It took everything I had to stay standing up

jazza.bsky.social•36 days ago

jonhalling.bsky.social•36 days ago

The "case" against you is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. No informed person could look at that evidence for a minute and think anyone except Guede was involved.

I hope you finally get the vindication and clearance you deserve.

schmedsmom.bsky.social•36 days ago

I didn't know you were still dealing with this crap. I hope they finish this and leave you alone.

amandaknox.com•37 days ago

I’ve been fighting this charge of criminal slander since I was first convicted in 2009. When I was acquitted of murder in 2015, this charge was upheld, so I appealed to the European Court of Human Rights in 2019, which ruled in my favor.

amandaknox.com•37 days ago

Italy overturned this conviction and sent me back for retrial last year. They found me guilty again, and now this is my final bid to clear my name once and for all. I am not a liar. I am not a slanderer. I was not present at my house when Meredith was murdered.

amandaknox.com•37 days ago

What really gets me is that this lesser charge was what the whole murder trial fell back on. Amanda’s a liar. She acted like a guilty person, so she must be guilty of murder. My interrogation, which Italy’s own courts deemed to be illegal, derailed everything.

kayleykiwi.bsky.social•36 days ago

You would think that by now, people’s understanding of human psychology would easily override this BS. That people are nervous for many reasons around police officers, especially in a foreign country where they aren’t fluent in the language.

amandaknox.com•37 days ago

Patrick was detained for two weeks and lost his business. Raffaele and me were wrongly convicted and sent to prison. The real killer, Rudy Guede, got off with a light sentence. The Kercher family was deprived of certainty and closure.

amandaknox.com•37 days ago

The police were never held accountable for the crimes they committed against me behind closed doors. And to this day, the conviction continues to affect me…I recently had to cancel a trip to Australia because I could not get a visa. Why? Because of my “criminal” background.

thewizardofschnoz.bsky.social•35 days ago

Oh Amanda. I'm sorry.

willyh1.bsky.social•37 days ago

Hope it works out for you. So messed up.

amandaknox.com•37 days ago

I’ll have more to say about this tomorrow, and on Friday, as I process what happens, whether I am finally acquitted or whether Italy will continue to blame me for the abuses of the Perugia police. Stay tuned.

kirstenanker.bsky.social•37 days ago

Heard your story on a podcast, it seems the Italian officials are just so invested in their own processes and story they are blind to how absolutely outrageous it is. Can only send ✊🏼😔 emojis.

sfbaylouise.bsky.social•37 days ago

The authorities reaction reminded me more of a "Tevye dream" (Fiddler on the Roof) than an investigated truth. Seemed something had to be conjured to explain it.

You know, I can come on here and read horrible news, but I keep showing up for posts like this, that offer an open and honest connection to a unique corner of the human experience—and that (I hope) help make me a more empathetic person. I think you help do that for a lot of us.

smrodman.bsky.social•36 days ago

Well, since you asked, this random internet stranger supports you, I am also anxiously awaiting the outcome, and I’m also going to feel a lot of emotions one way or the other depending on what happens, although I can’t pretend to imagine how you must be feeling.

smrodman.bsky.social•36 days ago

I was 5 years into practicing law when you were arrested, have followed your case over the years, have been shocked and appalled at the injustice you have faced, and have always noticed and respected how you responded and overcame that injustice with grace, strength, resolve and humility.

smrodman.bsky.social•36 days ago

Rediscovering your social media presence years later only reaffirmed what a truly good person you are. You are a blessing to your children, husband, parents, family and friends. You deserve justice and for your name to finally be fully cleared after all this time!

smrodman.bsky.social•36 days ago

By the way, between 1999 and 2007 I traveled to Italy 6 times, spending a collective of a few months there, started learning Italian, convinced my sister to study abroad in Florence, & basically fell in love with the country & dreamed I’d one day retire there.

smrodman.bsky.social•36 days ago

Haven’t been back since your fiasco. I couldn’t believe what was happening. I was appalled at the police & (in)justice system but also disgusted & horrified by the Italian media’s portrayal of you & the influence it seemed to have there. It was all repulsive and turned me off on Italy completely.

smrodman.bsky.social•36 days ago

And I just realized the timing as I’m typing all this and googled to see that the verdict was just upheld moments ago. What fucking bullshit! Ugh, I am so sorry Amanda. And fuck Patrick Lumumba for his statement afterwards. This is an unjust world and you didn’t deserve any of this! 😭😡🤬

rmbloom.bsky.social•37 days ago

I hope Justice finally prevails and they find in your favour.

jaredc.bsky.social•36 days ago

I was peripherally involved in litigation in Italy as your appeals were working through the system. The way their “best and brightest” prosecutors conducted themselves - preening, pompous and just not that bright - tracked with everything that came to light from your case.
