#falseconvictions

0 posts0 participants0 posts today
the roamer<p>A long-form interview of Amanda Kox by Simon Hattenstone.</p><p>I never followed the case much in any detail, and I must admit that I probably thought her guilty at the time. Amanda Knox as a very young woman got falsely convicted of murder, much later that judgement was overturmed, then she got re-convicted, and only in one further twist was she finally cleared. Due to the circumstances of the murder, her person became a canvas for all sorts of projections, telling us much about prevalent fantasies and nothing about her. She is now 37, a justice campaigner, and she writes books and makes programmes on her experiences.</p><p>Simon Hattenstone has known her for much of this time. This is a thoughtful and empathetic piece about injustice, prison, the painful struggle to reclaim oneself, the slow and ever incomplete recovery from trauma. Worth reading.</p><p> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/trauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trauma</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/FalseConvictions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FalseConvictions</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PersonalRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalRecovery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/AmandaKnox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmandaKnox</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/SimonHattenstone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SimonHattenstone</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/22/its-a-new-kind-of-prison-amanda-knox-on-redemption-rage-and-her-unlikely-friendship-with-the-prosecutor-who-hounded-her" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m</span><span class="invisible">ar/22/its-a-new-kind-of-prison-amanda-knox-on-redemption-rage-and-her-unlikely-friendship-with-the-prosecutor-who-hounded-her</span></a></p>
