AN EVENING WITH AMANDA KNOX

March 31, 2022

Amanda Knox, a journalist and author of The New York Times best-selling memoir “Waiting to Be Heard,” spoke on the issues of wrongful conviction, truth-seeking, and public shaming. She also participated in a moderated Q&A.

Ms. Knox walked students through the timeline of her story—jailed for four years for the murder of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, while studying abroad in Italy and eventually exonerated by Italy’s Supreme Court. She examined how her story captured the world’s attention and the impact the “Foxy Knoxy” narrative had on her wrongful conviction. She urged students to be mindful of the power of a story and to fight to end the corruption that occurs inside the justice system.

“A law degree is a vehicle in which you choose how you will serve others. Where you ultimately will be is far greater than what you are thinking about right now,” said Bridget, addressing the graduates. “Texas Tech Law has prepared you well and you are ready!”
