Seeing her successful life today, you wouldn’t imagine that Amanda, now the host of documentary The Scarlet Letter Reports and podcast The Truth About True Crime, was part of a murder scandal that rocked the Italian court system to its core.
For years, Amanda, an American exchange student, was believed to have viciously killed and sexually assaulted her roommate while studying in Italy.
In 2007, UK-born Meredith Kercher was found stabbed to death and Amanda, then aged 20, soon became the number-one suspect.
At the time, she was painted as a manipulative, calculating woman who had strange and evil sexual perversions.
She was even cruelly dubbed ‘Foxy Knoxy’ by the media. Amanda and Raffaele Sollecito, her boyfriend at the time, were arrested and charged with murder.
