Valter Biscotti, attorney for Rudy Guede, who was convicted in the Kercher case<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIs Amanda Knox<\/i> based on a true story?<\/h3>\n
Yes, the film documents Knox\u2019s story and her rise to notoriety after Perugia police charged her with Kercher\u2019s murder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2007 Knox was studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, where she shared an apartment with three roommates, including Kercher, a British exchange student. After spending the night with her boyfriend, Italian student Sollecito, Knox returned home to find the front door open and blood in the bathroom. Knox called the police, who found Kercher\u2019s body in her locked bedroom, where she had been stabbed to death.<\/p>\n
Police observed Knox as being unconcerned about the murder, which they deemed suspicious. When she was initially interviewed, police claimed Knox implicated herself and her employer, bar owner Patrick Lumumba. This led to the arrests of Knox, Lumumba, and Sollecito \u2014\u00a0who claimed he couldn\u2019t remember whether Knox was with him the evening in question \u2014\u00a0on suspicion of murder. However, Lumumba had an alibi and was released. Soon after, the bloody fingerprints of Rudy Guede, a known burglar, were found at the scene of the crime. Guede was arrested after Knox and Sollecito, and tried for Kercher\u2019s murder. In Knox and Sollecito\u2019s joint trial in 2009, both were convicted and sentenced to 26 and 25 years, respectively. In 2010, an appeal led to Knox and Sollecito\u2019s case being reexamined due to contested DNA evidence and Knox\u2019s having been excessively interviewed by police. In 2011, both Knox and Sollecito were found not guilty. In 2015, they were exonerated.<\/p>\n
Is Amanda Knox<\/i> based on a book?<\/h3>\n
No, it is not based on a book. However, Knox has written two memoirs based on her experiences, Waiting to Be Heard: A Memoir <\/i>and Free: My Search for Meaning<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n
