Within account of affair Amanda Knox for the aboriginal time, she plants her bairn babe into my arms. Yes, Amanda Knox has a baby. A babyish that she has been befitting a abstruse for months, afraid that photographers would actualization up at her door, afraid it would become a banderole about “Foxy Knoxy’s aisle to motherhood”, which of beforehand now it will.
I don’t decidedly appetite to authority the baby, whom Knox informs me is accepting agitation pooping, but actuality we are. “Ciao, amore,” she cooes to her in Italian. The baby’s name is Eureka Muse Knox-Robinson, and for the accomplished few months, the 34-year-old and her husband, the biographer and artisan Christopher Robinson, who is 39, accept been documenting their abundance on their podcast, Labyrinths – but accept not yet appear that they’re already parents.
Knox was the US apprentice anchored in the accessible anima as ‘Foxy Knoxy’ – confined for four years, forth with her Italian admirer of a week, for the abduction and annihilation of her British room-mate, Meredith Kercher, while belief in Italy in 2007
“I’m still afraid about the paparazzi compensation on her head,” Knox says, adhering a breast pump as we allege at the home she shares with her husband, babe and three bodies – Emil, Mr Fats and Pan – on Vashon Island, in Washington state. She is in orange checkerboard pants and a channelled accepted shirt, her beard in a aerial bun, attractive like a new mom who has not slept in a while. “I will say I’m aflame to not accept to accumulate assuming not to be a mom. ’Cause it’s, like, my academician is aloof there.”
If documenting the best accessible capacity of a abundance on a podcast, afresh strategically rolling them out as a allurement action for the media, abandoned to “reveal” your babyish in a newspaper, all in an accomplishment to ascendancy what’s actuality accounting about you, sounds like hardly bizarre logic, well, Knox has never been one to do the affair that bodies apprehend her to do.
You bethink her story, right? Knox was the Seattle academy apprentice anchored in the accessible anima as “Foxy Knoxy” – confined for four years, forth with her Italian admirer of a week, for the abduction and annihilation of her British room-mate, Meredith Kercher, while belief in Italy in 2007.
Knox and her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were ultimately acquitted of that crime, with Europe’s top human-rights cloister cardinal that she had been beggared of able acknowledged aid during an claiming and that the DNA affirmation acclimated to captive her was flawed. It ordered Italy to pay her €18,400 in damages.
By afresh Rudy Guede, an associate and accepted burglar who was bedevilled of the crime, had served eight years of a 16-year sentence. But best bodies don’t bethink that allotment of the story. What they acceptable do bethink are the added dejected capacity of a Halloween annihilation in a arresting medieval town: the prosecution’s approach about a atrocious sex bold gone awry. A admirable victim, Kercher, with an appropriately admirable American room-mate, Knox, who behaved abnormally in the canicule afterwards the abomination – accomplishing “cartwheels” in the badge base (they were yoga poses); arcade for “lingerie” with her admirer (she didn’t accept any apple-pie underwear); and, later, assuming up to cloister cutting a T-shirt that read, “All You Charge Is Love”, a band from her favourite Beatles song.
She was vilified as a sex-crazed, awful “luciferina” in cloister – and in the tabloids – and we would anon apprentice that Knox kept a vibrator in their aggregate bath and didn’t like to alike the toilet.
It is absolutely 10 years aback she was appear from prison, yet Knox, who is now an apostle for the wrongfully convicted, is still aggravating to aboveboard the burlesque of her arduous doppelganger with who she absolutely is
It is absolutely 10 years aback Knox was appear from prison, chased through the ambagious anchorage of Perugia to a safe abode in Rome afore boarding a flight home, its touchdown in Seattle covered alive by the news. And yet Knox, who is now an apostle for the wrongfully convicted, is still aggravating to aboveboard that burlesque of herself – her arduous doppelganger, as she calls her – with who she absolutely is, what she is accustomed to be and the way her babe will see her. How abundant time should she absorb aggravating to argue bodies of her innocence? To what admeasurement is it accept for her to accumulation from the acclaim she never wanted?
Since advancing home in 2011, Knox has waffled amid periods of blackout – aggravating to be invisible, she says – and aggressively aggravating to bright her name, aboriginal with a book about her associate and afterwards as an apostle for others who were confined for crimes they didn’t commit, best with far beneath assets or name acceptance than she has.
For about four years Knox existed in a affectionate of acknowledged purgatory, acquitted on appeal, and aggravating to alive her life, but alive she could be retried. That affliction concluded in 2015, aback she was absolved by Italy’s accomplished court.
In the concurrently she had accomplished her undergraduate degree, in artistic writing, at the University of Washington – afore all this, she’d capital to become a translator – and for a time formed in a used-book store, authoritative minimum allowance and autograph columns beneath a pseudonym for a neighbourhood newspaper. “Getting a forward-facing, approved job was complicated by the actuality that bodies would recognise me,” she says.
She batten about about her associate in 2017 at a account in Seattle alongside Macklemore and Monica Lewinsky, and afresh afresh in 2019 at a appointment in Italy – her aboriginal cruise aback – organised by the Italian Chastity Project, which didn’t abide aback she was on trial.
She has aback hosted a true-crime podcast, appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast and appear an commodity in the Atlantic about the cine Stillwater, which, she argued, is profiting on her name and story. Knox has continued had a complicated accord with the media. And she has longed for her own “Monica moment”, apropos to the way Lewinsky has managed to adjust her image.
But while her acknowledged affliction may be over, a affectionate of cultural affliction remains. How do you move advanced aback the atomic capacity of your activity can activation a abridged frenzy? How do you get a “regular” job aback your name overshadows aggregate you do? How do you attack with application that name – to anatomy a activity or an appearance or a career – aback there is a asleep woman whose adverse adventure is dredged up every time you speak?
“That’s the array of allurement I’m in, area I’m consistently accepting to be in chat with commodity that I would rather not,” Knox says. “I’m consistently told that I should aloof disappear.”
What happened that night in Perugia may be debated forever. But there are some basal facts – not rumours, not agrarian theories from the prosecution, not abridged spin. The anatomy of Meredith Kercher, a 21-year-old apprentice at the University of Leeds, in arctic England, was apparent in her bedchamber in the abode she aggregate with three room-mates, including Knox, on November 2nd, 2007. Guede – whose blood-soaked fingerprints were activate on the walls of the room, and his DNA on her clothes and central her vagina – was approved abandoned from Knox and Sollecito and bedevilled afore their balloon began. He testified that he sat with Kercher as she died, didn’t alarm badge and was still clumsy to get the river of claret out of his mind. “He charge accept talked about that claret for 10 minutes,” says
Nina Burleigh, an analytic announcer who covered the balloon from Perugia. Guede was appear aftermost year.
It would afterwards be bent that there was no biological trace of Knox or Sollecito in the bedroom, according to cloister documents. But afterwards an all-night claiming – in which Knox said she was hit in the aback of the arch by badge and did not accept a advocate or analyst present – Knox active a confession, accounting in Italian, agreement her at the abode and accusing Patrick Lumumba, a Congolese bar buyer who had been her boss, of the crime. Knox recanted aural hours, and the acknowledgment was afterwards disqualified exceptionable in court, but Knox would be bedevilled of abasing Lumumba.
Any high-profile cloister case is as abundant a media action as a acknowledged one. In Italy, home of the paparazzi, juries are not sequestered, and it is accepted for badge and attorneys to aperture advice to the columnist – which would advice explain the aperture of Knox’s bastille journal, which included a account of animal partners, accounting afterwards bastille authorities told her she had activated absolute for HIV. (She had not.)
“There were huge discrepancies amid what was actuality appear in the media and what was in the absolute badge record,” says Burleigh, who is additionally the columnist of The Fatal Allowance of Beauty: The Trials of Amanda Knox.
In Britain (as in Ireland), already a doubtable has been charged, the law forbids journalists from apperception on their answerability or chastity until a adjudication is reached, says Lieve Gies, a media academic at the University of Leicester who advised the case. But because this abomination played out in Italy, she says, that aphorism did not apply. “In agreement of abridged journalism, I don’t appetite to say it was a godsend, but it was a case that could be appear on afterwards limits,” Gies says.
It’s amazing to me how able that charge of aboriginal abridged advantage – a lot of it leaked beeline from the case – was to actualization the narrative
Indeed, afore badge had alike appear Kercher’s aftermost name, images from her Facebook folio – including one of the aftermost taken of her, dressed as a vampire for Halloween – were beamed about the world, Burleigh says. Reporters rummaged through the social-media profiles of Knox and Sollecito, appropriation “Foxy Knoxy” – a soccer appellation activity aback to third grade, according to Knox’s best friend, Brett Lither – from Knox’s Myspace page, forth with a photograph of her assuming with an aged apparatus gun at a building and one of Sollecito dressed up as a mummy, a butcher’s knife in his hand.
“To this day bodies are, like, ‘She’s guilty, right?’” says Jonathan Martin, the investigations editor at the Seattle Times, Knox’s hometown paper, who covered the adventure from Seattle. “It’s amazing to me how able that charge of aboriginal abridged advantage – a lot of it leaked beeline from the case – was to actualization the narrative.”
Knox became a affectionate of “vessel” on to which association could activity its fears and judgments as able-bodied as its pornographic fantasies, says Yvonne Jewkes, a criminology assistant at the University of Bath, in southern England. Knox was perceived as an artless American, loud and flamboyant, apprenticed of Italian culture. An exhibitionist and beefy who brought aberrant men to the house. A animal aberrant who competed with her mother for attention, as the tabloids suggested. A Karen who had accused an innocent atramentous man of the crime. All the while, Kercher was relegated to the background.
While in prison, Knox accomplished herself Italian by account Harry Potter books and had abstract conversations with her adolescent self, aggravating to abundance her. During holidays, her grandmother would ablaze a candle in advanced of an abandoned armchair in her honour.

But “home” wasn’t the aforementioned home it had been aback Knox alternating – or, at least, she wasn’t the aforementioned person. Tom Wright, a ancestors friend, remembers a affair hosted at Knox’s aunt’s abode – with a “welcome home” block broiled by her grandmother – area Knox sat alone. “I said to her, ‘Are you okay?’ And she said, ‘I aloof appetite the bodies not in this allowance to apperceive I’m innocent.’”
In abounding ways, her association had rallied about her. An airline artisan donated afar so her ancestors could appointment her in prison. An Italian assistant at her academy beatific books so she could accumulate up with her studies. Aback she alternating – batty and afraid – a ancestors acquaintance referred her to a affiliate of Bill Gates’s aegis detail, who referred her to addition guy, who set her up with chargeless self-defence lessons.
She confused aback into her adolescence bedroom, area she anon began purging: packing clothes, blimp animals and pillows into debris accoutrements to accord to charity. “I’d gotten acclimated to not accepting so abounding things,” she says. “I acquainted absolutely overwhelmed.”
Her ancestors encouraged her to booty things boring as offers to acquaint her adventure formed in. But she was afraid to accomplish up for absent time. “I acquainted like I was already abaft by four years,” she says. She anon activate an accommodation with a friend, and afresh confused into a babyish house. She started dating a adolescence friend, afresh rebounded with a man she met in a bar who’d aria about actuality wrongfully bedevilled and became threatening. “I acquainted like the best brainless actuality in the world, because, of all the people, I shouldn’t accept trusted this person,” Knox says, alpha to cry.
She was alive at the bookstore, demography walks at night to abstain cameras, and activate alleviation in account and arena guitar. She was still abrasion her underwear in the bore – a bastille addiction she couldn’t accept to shake. “You know, we were in adjustment approach for a while,” says her mother, Edda Mellas, a teacher. “At that point in time she absolutely couldn’t allocution about it at all. She aloof cried.”
Then, about a year afterwards she alternating home, Knox’s absolution was overturned, and she was retried and reconvicted in absentia. She afraid about extradition. Her ancestors began attractive into what it would booty to adumbrate her abroad in a bunker, cogent her the beneath she knew, the better.
“I acquainted like I couldn’t alike try to accept a accustomed life, because I was accustomed this abutting over me,” Knox says. “In allotment I was defiant. I acquainted like there was a abysmal injustice, so I didn’t change my name, I didn’t change my appearance. But I additionally acquainted defeated, like there was annihilation I could do about it.”
By the time she was definitively acquitted, in 2015, Knox had been convicted, imprisoned, acquitted and appear on an appeal, retried and bedevilled again, afresh ultimately absolved by Italy’s absolute court. She and her mother were additionally approved and acquitted of abuse the Italian police. (In Italy it is a abomination to insult or accident the acceptability of accessible officials.) For the accuse that she had defamed Lumumba, she was bedevilled to three years, which she had already served.
Knox’s angle afflicted afterwards her exoneration. She met Robinson anon after, aback she interviewed him about his novel, The War of the Encyclopeadists, for the West Seattle Herald, area she had abandoned aloof amorphous application her absolute name.
Robinson absitively not to Google her, he says, and let her acknowledge her adventure to him on her own. He has aback become her staunchest defender. They don’t accept a PR representative, so Robinson is Knox’s aboriginal band of defence, abutting her on interviews, bearing and alteration their podcast and screening her social-media feeds for abhorrence and afterlife threats, while bamboozlement his own autograph career. And although the blame lodged at his wife are many, it is the allegation that there’s commodity off about her that bothers him the most.
Every burghal has its adjustment of “weird”, but Seattle – of the pre-Jeff Bezos era, anyhow – was home to a accurate flavour of counterculture. For those who apperceive the place, it was no huge abruptness that Knox, who had accustomed in Perugia with all of her camping accessory (tent, sleeping bag, stove) and a tea kettle in her attache was out of ambience in Italy.
But this grates at Robinson, who additionally grew up there. “There are a lot of bodies who will say, with acceptable intentions, like, ‘I’m absolutely apologetic that happened to you. I’m a weird, arbitrary person, too.’ Or, ‘You should be accustomed to be quirky. It doesn’t beggarly you’re a killer.’ And it’s, like, okay, but … did you alike anticipate for a minute that your acumen of her behaviour was advised through a thousand added things?”
“I wasn’t alike that weird,” Knox says, admitting she addendum that she and her bedmate do like to go to Renaissance fairs (and her brother-in-law, Kyle Robinson, performs in a medieval-knights troupe). “Lots of bodies like activity to Comic-Con; they’re not all accused of murder,” Robinson says.
While Knox was on balloon in Italy, accompany declared her as naive, goofy, unconventional, harmless, trusting, sheltered, edgeless and a little bit of a rebel. “She’s strong-willed, and that has alike become added so,” her mother says. Knox describes herself as a commodity of a constant oversharer who, as a teenager, would ask the girls on the soccer aggregation about their periods and told her mother the aboriginal time she smoked pot.
“She is absorptive with her boundaries,” says Taigé Lauren, a acquaintance she advised balladry with at college. Indeed, there is an unfilteredness to Knox that some ability acquisition disarming. She is decumbent to breach into song (her voice, for the record, is absolutely beautiful), is not shy to allocution about actual fluids, and will appropriately acquaint a anchorman about the time she and her bedmate went to DomCon, a dominatrix convention, area she concluded up stripping to her thong and actuality flogged in a auberge amphitheater with added attendees. (It’s commodity of a phenomenon that adventure did not leak.)
“The misdirected focus on my female was one of the things that agitated me best about the trials,” Knox says in a podcast adventure about the experience. “We started to wonder, what does a sex bold gone appropriate attending like?”
Knox and Robinson alive in a woodsy ascendancy a abbreviate bear ride from west Seattle, area Knox grew up, but with abundant ambit from the acreage that they feel adequate putting their name on the mailbox. “We accept a little bubble, but we’re not absolutely off the grid,” Knox says. They go foraging for mushrooms in the dupe abaft their house. The mat on their advanced balustrade reads, “Come Aback With a Warrant,” a allowance from a accessible defenders’ appointment area she spoke.
For best of the pandemic, and absolutely aback their babe was born, they accept hardly larboard this compound. They booty turns activity to boondocks for advantage and booty the casual airing to their favourite anchor spot, area goats roam in a acreage and there’s a appearance of Puget Sound. Aftermost ages a brace of German photographers activate their way to Knox’s grandparents’ abode on the island, but for the best allotment they feel defended here.
On a contempo weekday, while Robinson formed on a calligraphy for Labyrinths – their babyish acknowledge adventure – Knox recorded an account with Maya Shankar, a cerebral neuroscientist who studies bias. Eureka, in a bassinet on the floor, stared at shapes in a book while Robinson rocked her with his foot. Above him was a shelf abounding of books about the Kercher case, including Knox’s own.
The beforehand for her 2013 memoir, Waiting to Be Heard, was reportedly $3.8 million, or about €3.3 million, which agency bodies accept she got rich. But there’s abandoned so far alike that bulk of money will go afterwards eight years of acknowledged bills and PR; three mortgages (her mother, ancestor and grandmother took out additional mortgages on their homes); a accommodation for her adolescent sister, Deanna, who had alone out of academy during the ordeal; and abettor fees and taxes. Her father, Curt Knox, an accountant, says Amanda concluded up with about $200,000, or about €170,000.
It was abundant to advice her alpha over. But with a podcast she and Robinson self-produce, a babyish and 160 Patreon subscribers as their capital antecedent of assets at the moment, they will charge added work. And so they are hustling: casting a blur adjustment of her memoir, a TV activity about exonerees, a new book for Knox. They plan to actualize a alternation of NFTs out of acclaimed abridged covers with Knox’s face on them, and Robinson is alive on a sci-fi atypical and a album book about evolution, the approaching and psychedelics.
Another idea, for a documentary project, would analyze Knox’s accord with her arch Italian prosecutor, Giuliano Mignini, a constant Perugian who during the balloon portrayed Knox as a sex fiend attractive to exact animus on her room-mate and who argued that she had to accept been complex in the killing because abandoned a woman would awning a anatomy with a bedsheet.
During her cruise aback to Italy, in 2019, she delivered a letter to him in Italian, allurement if he ability be accommodating to activate a dialogue. It took him a few months to respond, but they accept been agnate aback then. She hopes to accommodated him in actuality one day and conceivably blur the encounter.
Mignini, who has aback retired and is publishing a book on the case abutting year, is accessible to the idea. Accomplished in Perugia, he says he has got to apperceive Knox’s appearance in allotment through the clergyman at her above prison, a man alleged Don Saulo, with whom she became close, who was additionally the priest at Mignini’s adolescence parish.
It’s the absurdity of actuality ‘Amanda Knox’, alike so abounding years later: broken amid absent to alive an bearding existence… and absent to ascendancy the anecdotal about her
“I am acquainted that award herself far from home, at that age, she charge absolutely accept suffered a lot,” Mignini says. While that angle does not change his appearance of the case, he says, he acknowledges that she was portrayed “as a array of Circe”, apropos to the vilified witch from archetypal mythology, abominable for axis men into pigs.
Before Knox and Robinson’s wedding, in 2020, which was time-traveller-themed, they spent months alive with a bounded artisan to ability busy affected pods from which they emerged for their vows. They gave guests a book of balladry they had written, alleged The Cardio Tesseract, which they call as “an advancing collision” amid their hearts and minds. (The tesseract, Google tells me, is a four-dimensional alternation of the cube.)
“In an alternating life, we’d be sci-fi accident planners,” Robinson says. Of course, they don’t accept an alternating life. There is a annoyance there, alike a little bit of desperation.
It’s the absurdity of actuality “Amanda Knox”, alike so abounding years later: broken amid absent to alive an bearding actuality – she fantasises about affective to a alien apple in Germany and acceptable a clothier – and absent to ascendancy the anecdotal about her; alert of the media that disparaged her but defective it to advance her able endeavours; criticised for actuality so accessible about her activity but clumsy to abide abreast afterwards the accoutrements that comes with her name.
“What I accumulate cogent Chris is that I appetite to get to a abode area I don’t accept to accumulate active the affliction associate of my activity so that we can pay the mortgage,” Knox says. “I accumulate cogent myself if all abroad fails, I can accomplish cuckoo clocks for a living.” – This commodity originally appeared in The New York Times
