Can you imagine being accused of a crime you didn't commit? Even worse, imagine this happening while outside your home country - and in a language you don't fully understand.  What would you do? In this episode of the Truth Be Told podcast, host Dave Thompson speaks with Amanda Knox about her life after the wrongful conviction that changed her life - and made international headlines. They discuss the challenges of reclaiming her story, the impact of social media on public perception, and the importance of remembering the victims in wrongful conviction cases. Amanda shares her experiences leading up to the tragic murder of her friend Meredith Kercher and the chaotic aftermath that followed, including the media's misinterpretation of her reactions and the struggle for truth in a polarized and misinformed world. In this conversation, Amanda Knox shares her harrowing experience of wrongful conviction and the psychological impact of her interrogation. She discusses the assumptions made by investigators, the tactics used during her interrogation, and the broader implications of false confessions. Knox emphasizes the importance of understanding the trauma associated with wrongful convictions and the need for reform in interrogation practices. The conversation also touches on the media narratives that shaped public perception and the ongoing consequences for those wrongfully accused. Learn more about Amanda's work on her website and check out her podcast, Labryinths.  Truths: Amanda feels she is still chasing her narrative, as the day her identify was “stolen” was when she was interrogated and told her reality was different than what she knew to be true. Reactions to the crime scene were misinterpreted, without supporting context or information for the public to know. Media judgment can (and has) distorted public perception and interpretation of major incidents. Similar to witnesses and victims exposed to traumatic events, Amanda's emotional response was misunderstood. Misclassification can lead to devastating consequences in investigations. The criminal justice system was never on Amanda's radar. Investigators made assumptions that led to wrongful conclusions. False confessions often stem from coercive tactics or confirmation bias in investigations. Wrongful convictions affect not just the victim of the crime, but also the wrongly convicted individual, their families and loved ones. Often forgotten in a wrongful conviction is the impact to public safety which allows the actual perpetrator to continue to commit additional crimes. Understanding the psychological impact of interrogation is crucial for everyone involved. Reform in interrogation practices is necessary to prevent false confessions.
