35: "Amanda Knox"

Ame and Kenzie are back with another full length episode and this week they are covering the Netflix documentary Amanda Knox. Innocent until proven guilty is something we've all heard... but what if the crime takes place in another country and the officials in charge misread your every move and statements as admissions of guilt? Amanda Knox moved to Italy for a study abroad program and quickly fell in love with everything the experience had to offer. She made fast friends and even became involved with a young Italian man named Raffaele. Their love affair was fast and furious, as most young love can be, but before they could make it to a single anniversary, both were charged in the brutal murder of Amanda's English housemate, Meredith Kercher. With pressure from the entire world weighing on the shoulders of local police and prosecution to locate and arrest the person or people involved in the attack, Amanda and Raffaele quickly found their worlds turned upside down. The next 8 years would prove to be a rollercoaster of salacious tabloids, finger pointing, mishandled evidence and mind games all in the name of "justice".
