Knox will be profiled in the film, which investigates the murder of her then-roommate, Meredith Kercher, while the two were living in Italy in 2007. Knox and her then boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were convicted in Italian court for the murder, but the duo were eventually acquitted and released from jail, but not before years and years battling the case in court.

Twice convicted and twice acquitted by Italian courts of the brutal killing of her British roommate Meredith Kercher, Amanda Knox became the subject of global speculation as non-stop media attention fed the public's fascination through every twist and turn of the nearly decade-long case.

In a world that remains strongly divided on the legal findings, Amanda Knox goes beyond guilt or innocence to shed new light on the events and circumstances of the past nine years. Featuring unprecedented access to the key people involved and never-before-seen archival material, the film shifts between past to present, exploring the case from the inside out in exclusive interviews with Amanda Knox, her former co-defendant and ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, Italian prosecutor Giuliano Mignini and Daily Mail reporter Nick Pisa.

Reading the facts of the case as well as several interviews with Knox at the time, I always believed that she did it or at the very least served as an accomplice. I really do wonder if we'll ever find out the truth about what really happened.

Rudy Guede did it, which is supported by all of the evidence
 
I knew people that were studying abroad in Perugia when this happened. They said the whole situation was really surreal. Apparently they walked by that apartment on a daily basis.

You're right, that's correct. What I meant to say was that at the time I felt that Knox had in some way assisted in the murder, and was as such culpable, even if Guede specifically had carried out the murder himself.

It's literally been years since I remember reading about the facts of the case though, and those were just my instincts at the time.

The Short: Police arrested Amanda and her friend under the story that Meredith was knifed to death during a satanic orgy gone wrong. They later arrested the guy whose bloody fingerprints were found at the scene, a man that had recently been caught breaking into places while wielding a knife.

Which case is more likely?

1) The knife wielding burglar killed her after breaking in.

2) The knife wielding burglar met all of them elsewhere, got into a weird satanic sex orgy, then they all murdered Meredith together.

I just don't understand how people give #2 any credence.

Except none of that is factually accurate. That's tabloid nonsense.

There is a good write up of the evidence and links to the publically available documents here:

The whole premise hinges on the fact that Knox and Guede, strangers, murdered Knox's roommate together.

Why would two strangers murder someone together?

Maybe if Knox hired Guede, but there's no evidence of that, and even if there were, why would Knox then participate?

I dunno. The motive is something that is still very unclear. What we do know is that she lied about her alibi, placed herself at the scene of the crime, knowingly accused an innocent man, and that there is enough physical evidence to suspect that she was at the very least involved in a clean up of the scene. The Italian police did a very poor job of the investigation, but that doesn't mean that the conclusions they came to were incorrect.
 
Watched. Extremely good. Really shines a light on Italy's shitty justice system.

Also, anyone who thinks she is guilty when there's absolutely no evidence, needs a slap upside the head.

Almost all of the evidence points to that fact that she was innocent.

This looks great. Fascinating case.



What am I missing? You guys think she's hot or something?

Uhhh...

Like you said - fascinating case. Kept it at arms length at the time, so I'm interested to hopefully dig deeper with the doc. Netflix has a high batting average with their original content.
 
this is really interesting for me, beeing Italian and from Perugia, the city where Meredith was killed.

I don't know which thesis the documentary will endorse, but the general opinion here in Italy and in Perugia is that Amanda and Raffaele Sollecito where the true culprits and they somehow got away with it due to heavy political interferences (Amanda beeing an American citizen, Sollecito beeing the son of a freemason).

I somewhat believe in this thesis, in fact, the only convicted person here was Rudi Guede, a black man, and the absurdity af all this is that he is in jail for beeing accessory in murder. Accessory in a murder nobody (according to the judges) commited
 
I don't think Knox did it, just very dumb and glad that it happened. If you found out your roommate was murdered in your home and you were brought in for questioning, why would you start cutting cartwheels in the police station?

Rudy Guede was found guilty of murder (and sexual assault), not being an accessory.
 
No, Rudi Guede charge was "concorso in omicidio e violenza sessuale".

that's accessory/complicity in murder and sexual assault. Bear also in mind that in Guede's version the sex was consensual
 
Maybe the english version of wikipedia isn't up to date on the subject.

Guede was recently (just 4 or 5 months ago) invited as guest on an italian TV show about cold cases, and he exposed is version. He said that that night he and Meredith were going to have sex, but he only masturbated her and didn't have full intercourse, because they forgot to buy condoms.

Last month Guede has finally asked for a revision of his trial

Not exactly hard-hitting evidence of guilt there.
 
Just finished watching and whereas I came away from making a murder convinced he was innocent, this documentary had no such effect. It seemed very poorly put together with it's bias evident in tone. Eg playing positive music when she was acquitted. I cant get my head around her justification of blaming an innocent guy when she believed her albi had been broken. At the end of the day they didn't disprove the dna evidence, they just had to prove there could have been contamination. Her behaviour in court was also very strange when she was convinced she would get off first time. Laughing and joking and winking at people. It's easy to forget, seemingly like this documentary did, that Meredith was the real victim in this whole thing.

EDIT: One final thought. Nick Pisa is a complete arsehole.

No evidence of that, just the cops bullshitting.

One thing they didn't get into was that the knife a cop picked out from the boyfriend's apartment with "police intuition" that had no blood on it, but somehow tested positive for Meredith's DNA, didn't match the stab wounds or the outline of the knife in blood on the sheets. It was totally ginned up.
 
I definitely have to queue this one up.

I have never been convinced Amanda had anything to do with the murder and it always seemed like a crazy conspiracy theory level witch hunt by authorities.
 
Before I saw the trailer I'd never heard of this case, it was good doc. Its really strange reading old GAF threads about this.

So many posts in "I'd hit it" catagory.
