January 1, Amanda Knox Fights Slander Conviction: Unjust Accusations and Police Pressure Revealed
Amanda Knox expressed her surprise at a Florence appeals court’s decision to find her guilty of slander. In an interview with Italian TV, she stated, “I will fight for the truth. It’s been 17 years that I have been unjustly accused.”
In 2007, Knox and her then-Italian boyfriend were accused of murdering her housemate, 21-year-old Meredith Kercher. They were exonerated in 2015, but the slander conviction against Knox persisted for falsely accusing an innocent man, Congolese bar owner Patrick Lumumba.
Knox spent four years in prison before being freed on an earlier acquittal in 2011. Another man, Rudy Hermann Guede of Ivory Coast, was convicted of killing Kercher and served 13 years of a 16-year sentence.
The slander retrial was ordered after a European Court of Human Rights ruling. They found that Knox’s human rights had been violated during a long night of questioning without a lawyer or competent translator. Knox insists she named Lumumba under extreme police pressure.
“I was abused, mistreated, psychologically tortured by police that night,” Knox said in the TV interview. “It was the worst experience of my life. It was worse than being convicted, to tell the truth, because they made me think I was crazy, that I couldn’t trust myself.”

When being enterviewed by police, you must be careful, and
for heaven sakes, keep your wits about you! Even though you know
that you have said it, it may not get logged in that sxact same
language you said it. The police are notorius for not being
precisely accurate in their logging of their procedures. Please
make sure if they will let you, make your own recording of your
depicton at headquarters so your words cannot be twisted by the
police or any-one. And do all this while at the station.
