Amanda Knox unwillingly became one of the world’s most recognized names after she was wrongfully convicted of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy in 2007. Following her 2015 acquittal, the Seattle, Washington, native was able to move on with her life despite a few other legal hiccups down the road. The case became a focal point in Knox’s life, and she chose to share her story in memoirs and, now, a miniseries. Over the past several years, Knox has the support of her husband.
