I'm so sorry for what you continue to go through. Regardless of this unjust verdict you will continue to be an inspiring leader, shiner of light & inspiration on false confessions, exoneration and every topic you turn your mind to. Strength & solidarity.

jocastaway.bsky.social•37 days ago

I’m really f**king sorry this has happened to you

Italy is run by a fascist now anyway, so it’s clear that this wasn’t heading anywhere good

But so is the US now, so if you ever need refuge maybe look a little north of Seattle & come up to Vancouver

In the meantime, hang in there, sis

🙏🏼🥺

I said i would and am sending the fullest amount of positive energy to you and your family. Is small comfort i know but at least it is at an end now even if, as usual, the outcome is bogus and based on falsehoods.

laureta-per-sempre.bsky.social•38 days ago

One more thing sorry I can’t resist. So those fuckers (excuse my Italian) terrorized you into a false confession, then based a flawed investigation on that confession and when you were found, eventually, not guilty they sued you for leading them astray? What kind of fuckery is that!

laureta-per-sempre.bsky.social•38 days ago

What does this mean for your future? Obviously you are not in Italy but can you appeal?

amandaknox.com•38 days ago

I will try to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights if I can.

jamiephelps.bsky.social•38 days ago

Wishing you the best Amanda💜

markenadeau.bsky.social•38 days ago

Now you can get on to the rest of your life, at last. Right?

longingformypast.bsky.social•37 days ago

Terrible. Reminds me of the abhorrent treatment of the McCanns.

It’s infuriating how obvious police misconduct that borders (or does) on violation of human rights is almost never sanctioned and prosecuted.

So sorry. Mad, power ridden, big ego people are a menace everywhere.

Have you ever considered writing a book?

amandaknox.com•38 days ago

Now that you mention it ...

Thanks! I look forward to reading it

bookhoarder53.bsky.social•37 days ago

Such a travesty of justice. The Italian court system would be a joke if it wasn't so horrendously bad.

cecilecher.bsky.social•38 days ago

:/ sorry- crazy

mrswilson95.bsky.social•38 days ago

Followed your story and was watching when you were released. Was in tears watching you come home. Horrible what that court has put you through. Wish you well!

jawaysky.bsky.social•38 days ago

Might as well
Slander
Them
More since your guilty of it.
Let them do
More trials

First thing, they for sure fucked with the wrong BAB. Second, is this literally the end of the thread? Is there any avenue to appeal to an EU court?

Amanda, I admire for your strength and how you have been able to persevere through all of the wrongs done to you by the Italian justice system. We all know that they wronged you. And they continue to do so. Stay strong, Amanda. You are innocent and we all know it.

oklahomabiologist.bsky.social•38 days ago

I am pretty positive that none of us will ever have any words of comfort, wisdom, assistance and for darn sure we will never know the feelings, emotions, and desperations you felt. I followed your story then, so glad you're back in the U.S., and thank you for coming to blusky to let us in!

phalsleyconvicted.bsky.social•38 days ago

Some know.

fonzibean.bsky.social•37 days ago

It’s a stain on them, not you. Hold your head high knowing it’s their embarrassment keeping them from owning their failures which only shows weakness on their part, not yours.

lordy57.bsky.social•38 days ago

I'd actually like to apologise to you Amanda.
I'm one of so many who believed the hype for so long.
18 years ago (damn, where did the time go?) I read the stories, thought "well shit, she did that? wow"
I was wrong, I'm sorry.
I wish you well.

lordy57.bsky.social•38 days ago

A total cluster fuck from the first moment.

happycamping1.bsky.social•38 days ago

I am glad you are finally free from this. I hope you celebrate!

egwriter.bsky.social•37 days ago

There’s a pretty significant history of people giving false confessions after hours and hours of police interrogation, sleep deprivation, and isolation. Anyone who looks into this manner of “policing” can see for themselves. Once you “confessed”, the tabloids did the rest.

bluekentucky.bsky.social•38 days ago

We love you Amanda. You know the truth. Live the truth. We cannot even think we understand your pain. But we hope you understand the love so many of us have for you and your dear family.

Many people are familiar with my wrongful conviction for Meredith Kercher’s murder, but this lesser charge, arising from statements I signed during my interrogation, is the one that has continued to haunt me.

yazdog8.bsky.social•38 days ago

Sorry Amanda.

amandaknox.com•38 days ago

The charge resulted from a lie invented by the police: that I was present when my roommate Meredith was sexually assaulted and murdered at our apartment in Perugia in 2007.

melissaportala.bsky.social•38 days ago

So sorry you had to go through this and have this injustice be compounded.

amandaknox.com•38 days ago

Everything that subsequently went wrong in the investigation and prosecution—the tunnel vision, junk science, biased witnesses—flowed from that lie.

amandaknox.com•38 days ago

The interrogation I was subjected to remains the most terrifying experience of my life—more terrifying than that first crushing guilty verdict and 26-year sentence; more terrifying than prison itself.

amandaknox.com•38 days ago

I was 20 years old, and was questioned for more than 53 hours over a five-day period in a language I was only just learning to speak. The night of Meredith’s murder, I had stayed with Raffaele Sollecito, a young man I’d just started dating.

amandaknox.com•38 days ago

But no matter how many times I said that, the police refused to believe me. I was berated, threatened, lied to, and slapped, and eventually my sanity broke.

waiting74patiently.bsky.social•38 days ago

I'm so sorry to read this, it must be a nightmare for you. What is next?

amandaknox.com•38 days ago

Potentially appealing to the European Court of Human Rights.

waiting74patiently.bsky.social•38 days ago

I wish you well and truly hope you find the peace and justice that you deserve. I believed in your innocence then as I do now.
be well

ubetcha2.bsky.social•38 days ago

I'm so sorry that you've had to bear this burden for so long. Wishing you peace and serenity.

drunkondogs.bsky.social•37 days ago

It's so frustrating that the verdict is both absolutely unbelievable, yet incredibly predictable. Would this conclusion not serve to intimidate witnesses and silence victims? Do they do this with every falsely accused individual?

benalpers.bsky.social•38 days ago

It broke my heart to hear this. There are many layers of injustice in your case, but it's the misogyny at the heart of the way you were treated, inside the Italian legal system and in the court of public opinion, that most infuriates me. Our world is profoundly broken. You deserve none of this.

mattwinberry.bsky.social•38 days ago

Your hometown has your back.

leevangoodgrief.bsky.social•37 days ago

Wow. I actually thought they’d see common sense and let this go. Apparently forgetting that I live in a country that just reelected a president who led a violent insurrection against his own government.
