pWotD Episode 2818: Amanda Knox Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 237,656 views on Saturday, 18 January 2025 our article of the day is Amanda Knox.Amanda Marie Knox (born July 9, 1987) is an American author, activist, and journalist. She spent almost four years incarcerated in Italy after her wrongful conviction in the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, a fellow exchange student, with whom she shared an apartment in Perugia. In 2015, Knox was definitively acquitted by the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation. In 2024, an Italian appellate court upheld Amanda Knox's slander conviction for falsely accusing Patrick Lumumba of murdering Meredith Kercher.Knox, aged 20 at the time of the murder, called the police after returning to her and Kercher's apartment after a night spent with her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, and finding Kercher's bedroom door locked and blood in the bathroom. During the police interrogations that followed, the conduct of which is a matter of dispute, Knox allegedly implicated herself and her employer, Patrick Lumumba, in the murder. Initially, Knox, Sollecito, and Lumumba were all arrested for Kercher's murder, but Lumumba was soon released because he had a strong alibi. A known burglar, Rudy Guede, was soon arrested, after his bloody fingerprints were found on Kercher's possessions. He was convicted of murder in a fast-track trial and was sentenced to 30 years' imprisonment, later reduced to 16 years. In December 2020, an Italian court ruled that Guede could complete his term by doing community service.In their initial trial, in 2009, Knox and Sollecito were convicted and sentenced to 26 and 25 years in prison, respectively. Pre-trial publicity in Italian media, which was repeated by other media worldwide, portrayed Knox in a negative light, leading to complaints that the prosecution was using character assassination. A guilty verdict at Knox's initial trial and her 26-year sentence caused international controversy, because American forensic experts thought evidence at the crime scene was incompatible with her involvement. A prolonged legal process, including a successful prosecution appeal against her acquittal at a second-level trial, continued after Knox was freed in 2011. On March 27, 2015, Italy's highest court definitively exonerated Knox and Sollecito. However, Knox's conviction for committing defamation against Lumumba was upheld by all courts. On January 14, 2016, Knox was acquitted of defamation for saying she had been struck by policewomen during the interrogation.Knox later became an author, an activist, and a journalist. Her memoir, Waiting to Be Heard, became a best seller. In 2018, she began hosting The Scarlet Letter Reports, a television series, which examined the "gendered nature of public shaming".This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:03 UTC on Sunday, 19 January 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Amanda Knox on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Nicole.

Italy's judicial system has always been a tapestry of rich history and intricate legal nuances. Recently, it's been abuzz with discussions around a particular decision: 17161, passed on June 15th, 2023. On the surface, it might seem like just another ruling from the Italian Supreme Court, the Corte di Cassazione. While many judicial systems around the world operate on the principle of binding precedents, Italy does things their own way. But how does it differ? Does a ruling from the Supreme Court carry the weight someone more familiar with the US system expect?Moreover, if you're seeking citizenship through consulates or municipalities, how does this decision impact you?For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team of dual-citizenship experts and attorneys you can use the contact form on the Italian Citizenship Assistance website:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/To see more from Rafael Di Furia about life in Italy and life as a dual citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#podcast #italiancitizenship #movetoitaly 0:00 – Intro & Opening Thoughts0:25 – How does the Italian Judicial System work?13:05 – If the entire Supreme Court were to take part in the case, would that ruling still be binding?14:57 – Is the Supreme Court contesting previous rulings rather than the lower courts?17:14 – How does the Italian System work today?

Amanda Knox spent four years in an Italian prison for a crime she did not commit. In the fall of 2007, the 20-year-old college coed left Seattle to study abroad in Italy, but her life was shattered when her roommate was murdered in their apartment. After a controversial trial, Amanda was convicted and imprisoned. But in 2011, an appeals court overturned the decision and vacated the murder charge. Free at last, she returned home to the U.S., where she remained silent until she released the memoir of her ordeal, Waiting to Be Heard. Unfortunately, after the publication of her book she was tried and convicted again in an Italian court, only to see that conviction overturned by the Italian Supreme Court. She cannot be tried again, but in the court of public opinion she has been on trial since that fatal day in 2007. Here she shares with listeners her story and all she has learned from her experiences and what lessons we can all take from adversity.

In the last episode, we look at the issue that underpins most contract killings: impunity. With impunity rates so high for the murder of journalists, environmentalists, and others, it can sometimes feel like a losing battle.But convictions can be secured. Corruption that leads to assassinations can be exposed, and the masterminds put behind bars.What changes are needed to disrupt the system of collusion that enables contract killings? And how can the international community step in?HOST: Ana Paula Oliveira, GITOCINTERVIEWEE(S):Agnes Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International and former UN Special Rapporteur in Extrajudicial KillingSteve Carmody, the head of investigation of the Wildlife Justice Commission Judge Antonio Balsamo, Prosecutor General of the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation and Professor of Criminal law at the Faculty of Law of the LUMSAAdditional Links:Global Assassination MonitorFaces of AssassinationGlobal Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime

Fourteen years ago this week, 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher was sexually assaulted and killed in a brutal attack in her apartment in the Italian city of Perugia. As the world's media descended, a narrative quickly emerged around Amanda Knox - Meredith's American flatmate - and her then boyfriend Rafaele Sollecito. After being found guilty and serving four years in prison, Amanda was fully exonerated by the Italian Supreme Court on appeal in 2015. Amanda Knox talks to Emma about trying to restore her reputation, losing control of her identity, and speaking out. The starting gun has fired on COP26 - we hear from Laurence Tubiana, France's Climate Change Ambassador and Special Representative for COP21, and Amber Rudd - Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change at the time of Paris and the then leader of the UK's COP21 negotiating team. Kathleen Stock was, until last week, a professor of philosophy at the University of Sussex. In the last few years she has become better known for her gender critical views, contributing to the highly charged public debate over trans rights and what she and others see as the re-defining of the word ‘woman'. She gives an exclusive interview to Emma Barnett. We meet the first woman to write a James Bond novel. Award-winning author Kim Sherwood is to write three new books set in the iconic world of James Bond.

Fourteen years ago this week, 21-year old British student Meredith Kercher was sexually assaulted and killed in a brutal attack in her apartment in the Italian city of Perugia. Her death was a shocking and unimaginable loss to her family. But sadly her name did not become the most memorable in the murder investigation that followed. As the world's media descended, a narrative quickly emerged around Amanda Knox - Meredith's American flatmate - and her then boyfriend Rafaele Sollecito. Dubbed 'Foxy Knoxy', the story became about a sexually voracious femme fatale and her accomplice, who it was said killed Meredith in a drug-fuelled sex game gone wrong. After being found guilty and serving four years in prison, Amanda was fully exonerated by the Italian Supreme Court on appeal in 2015. Amanda now lives back in Seattle, is married, and has just had a baby - having built a career as a writer, podcaster, and campaigner against wrongful conviction. In an exclusive interview with Woman's Hour and Newsnight, Amanda Knox talks to Emma about trying to restore her reputation, losing control of her identity, and speaking out about the film Stillwater starring Matt Damon, which she says drew on and profited from her story without her consent. The cost of repeat prescriptions for hormone replacement therapy in England is to be significantly reduced. The Labour MP for Swansea East, Carolyn Harris, had put forward a Bill to make HRT free, as it is currently in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland where there are no charges for prescriptions. Although the Government didn't support the change in full, it announced at the end of last week that women would only have to pay for one prescription charge a year – potentially saving over £200 annually. The Government also announced that they will be setting up a menopause taskforce, which will be co-chaired by Carolyn Harris, who says it is time to revolutionise menopause support. Though best known for playing Rizzo in the film Grease, First Lady Abbey Bartlet in the television series The West Wing, and Julianna Margulies' mother Veronica in The Good Wife, multi-Emmy award-winning actor Stockard Channing is a Broadway veteran nominated for multiple Tonys. Currently on stage at the Hampstead Theatre in London in ‘Night Mother' - a tense two-hander play that takes place over a single evening – she joins Emma to discuss her latest performance and first as a London resident.

Amanda Knox spent four years in an Italian prison following a wrongful conviction for the murder of her roommate: a sentence that was ultimately overturned by the Italian Supreme Court.

April was Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and one way to raise awareness was by wearing jeans on 'Denim Day' which was on 28 April 2021. Denim Day is on a Wednesday in April every year and is to remind society of the dangers and injustices of victim blaming. The campaign began after the Italian Supreme Court, in 1999, overturned a rape conviction in which an 18-year-old student in Italy was raped by her 45-year-old driving instructor during a driving lesson in 1992. They ruled that because she was wearing tight jeans, there must have been consent. The following day, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim. Since then, what started as a local campaign to bring awareness to victim blaming and destructive myths that surround sexual violence has grown into a movement. We are all familiar with the refrain: “she was asking for it…”; “what did he expect?”. These are of course weak excuses for criminal behaviour, if not outright condonement. Denim Day asks community members, elected officials, businesses and students to make a social statement with their fashion statement by wearing jeans on this day as a visible means of protest against the misconceptions that surround sexual violence. This is particular apt given current concerns about sexual assault and harassment in schools and universities. Ofsted inspectors are to carry out checks on schools in England that have been the subject of recent complaints about sexual harassment and assault. The education watchdog said inspection teams would visit a sample of institutions where cases have been highlighted on the Everyone’s Invited website, which has collected more than 14,000 testimonies including alleged rapes and sexual attacks among children of school age. The visits will form part of an emergency review of sexual abuse in schools and colleges, due to be completed by the end of May. Ofsted said it would not report on individual schools or cases but would look at good and bad practice across the country. Details of Ofsted’s investigation can be found here and more information on Denim Day can be found on the website here.

HEY TEEN FEMINISTS,

Exciting news!  This Tuesday, May 4th, we will be doing a live podcast recording with Mappy Hour.  Register below!PlanetGeo Mappy Hour Live Recording - Glacier National ParkToday we talk Earthquakes! The list of EQ dating back to antiquity is shocking.  The amplitude and deaths caused are estimated, but a glimpse of this list is very sobering.  Below is a list of some of the important and more recent.Medieval Europe (italy, spain, portugal) were all very aware of the risks of Earthquakes and were starting to apply new engineering specifically for earthquake mitigation (anchor plates in buildings, exaggerated buttresses). 1700: The Cascadia subduction zone. Research by Brain Atwater has revealed when this EQ occurred.  Estimated to be 8.7 - 9.2 moment magnitude.  Atwater has discovered ghost forests of red cedars that were killed by being lowered and submerged in salt water as a result of a massive EQ.  The tree rings date back to 1699 - the last growing season before the EQ.  Records in Japan confirm a tsunami that caught them offguard.  The research by Atwater is so cool and worth going into here.  He has really changed the way we think about the Cascadia zone and that it knocks off a major quake every ~ 500 years.December, 1811 to February 1812: 3 large EQ in New Madrid, MO 8.1,7.8 8.0.  Caused by old stress from a failed rift zone.1906: San Francisco EQ 7.91964: The Great Alaskan EQ. 9.2 the shaking lasted 4 min and 38 seconds.  The Richter scale put these two as the same strength.  1976: China.  7.6 EQ that unlike the year before, no foreshocks or warnings.  Estimated up to 750,000 people died.2004: Sumatra 9.1  227,000 people died2009: L’Aquila, italy, 5.8, 309 people died; Italian seismologist went on trial for incorrectly reassuring the population that no earthquake would occur. Earthquake was predicted by one researcher a month before, he was called alarmist. Then the earthquake occurred and 7 people (6 scientists and one official) were convicted of giving false or misleading statements that downplayed the risks. This result was criticized by most major scientific organizations and outlets.  These verdicts were later overturned by the Italian Supreme Court 20142011: Japan 9.0 Almost 21,000 people diedIt’s also appropriate to talk about the exponential scale.  The richter scale is outdated and really measures the amplitude and distance the waves travelled.  It’s not accurate in discerning major EQ.  The moment magnitude scale measures the amount of movement along a fault and the force required to make that movement.  It also measures all of the seismic waves produced by an EQ.The scales vary logarithmically.  In terms of the amount of ground shaking, a difference of 1 varies by an exponent of 10.  But in terms of energy released, it varies by powers of 30 (We round to 30.  It’s actually 31.6.  That means that for each increase in .2, the energy released is doubled) Why do Earthquakes occur?1 - Think back to the plate tectonics episode.  The movement of tectonic plates causes stress along the plate boundaries. Use N. America as a starting point (more on the west coast, few on the east coast) but then we compare them to other countries like Germany and the UK (which have very few) Italy (lots of earthquakes with >10,000 killed) and western Pacific (same).   —————————————————— Instagram: @planetgeocast Twitter: @planetgeocast Facebook: @planetgeocast Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ_A82nOMu0nIvZto6zMPqgEmail: planetg

Italian parents are no longer obligated to financially support their adult children, according to a new ruling by the Italian Supreme Court. The ruling came in July after the closing of a five-year case, in which a 35-year-old part-time teacher demanded his parents' financial support because he could not get by on just his annual income. The local court of Tuscany agreed that the man's salary was not enough and ordered his parents to pay him a monthly stipend. However, Supreme Court Judge Maria Cristina Giancola reversed the local court's decision, saying that parents are not responsible for their children's financial situation for the rest of their lives. She added that young adults should learn to become financially independent. While protection of adult children with physical or mental disabilities is covered by the Italian law system, parents' support does not have to continue if their adult children are capable of looking for and getting a job. According to the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT), nearly 65% of Italians aged 18 to 35 still reside with their parents. In this group, around 36% are students, 38.2% are employed, and 23.7% are looking for a job. ISTAT added that Italy has a 30% unemployment rate in the 15 to 24 age group. The court ruling stirred controversy in the country. Many citizens welcomed the Supreme Court's decision, but some also acknowledged that Italy's current labor market is difficult for younger Italians to enter. The head of the Italian Association of Matrimonial Lawyers, Gian Ettore Gassani, supports the court's decision. He believes that the ruling will encourage young people to take risks and fend for themselves.

Due to a lack of stable employment, 64.3 percent of young Italian adults aged 18 to 34 still live with their parents. They are known as “Bamboccioni" or "big babies". Recently, Italy's Supreme Court put an end to a judicial saga that had been gripping the country. For the past five years, a 35-year-old part-time musician had been relentlessly suing his father for financial support. But the court ruled against him: in essence, the judges told him "to grow up".

The Italian Supreme Court thinks recent reforms to the EU's taxation framework on interest and royalties between parent companies and subsidiaries to actually mean something, a big potential change on the horizon for how software payments are taxed worldwide, and France thinks the U.S. is trying to sabotage global digital tax talks.

S2E1: UPDATED EPISODE: The Wrongful Conviction of Amanda Knox Amanda Knox was convicted of the murder of a 21-year-old British exchange student, Meredith Kercher, who died from knife wounds in the apartment she shared with Amanda in Perugia, Italy in 2007.

The Italian Supreme Court ruled in favor of giving schools the power to ban packed lunches on campus. It has been a tradition for Italian students and teachers to all sit together and eat the same lunch from the school cafeteria. However, some parents of students began preparing home-cooked meals for their children because cafeteria food is usually expensive and unhealthy. Following this action, a group of parents from Turin, Italy, pushed a legal battle to make school lunches optional instead of compulsory. The country's Supreme Court sided with schools in prohibiting students from bringing home-cooked meals. The court emphasized that such action demonstrates disregard for the principles of equality that school lunches promote. According to the court, bringing packed lunches can result in discrimination as some students may avoid sitting with their richer classmates, who usually eat more expensive meals. However, more and more Italians are beginning to have a different opinion regarding the tradition of eating the same school lunch. A survey revealed that 26% of Italians deem lunches served at schools to have poor quality. This was confirmed during previous school canteen checks in which authorities found insects and mouse droppings in food. Because of the downsides that come with eating school lunches, the ruling infuriated numerous parents. In an interview with a local TV station, one mother complained about the school lunch fees being higher than her monthly wages. Other parents took to social media to gather more signatures for their petition. They insisted that bringing home-cooked meals to school is a social right and does not affect children's level of engagement in school.

I'm Not In An Abusive Relationship takes on Sexual Abuse Awareness Month. Host Claudia Pahls welcomes a panel from Domestic and Sexual Abuse Services to the show. Our panel: Deborah Hackworth, Director of Advocacy Services; Rose Ludwick, Executive Director of DASAS; Elizabeth Alderson, Licensed Master Social Worker & Therapist. What is sexual assault awareness month? What is denim day? Why denim? For the past 20 years, Peace Over Violence has run its Denim Day campaign on a Wednesday in April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped the person who raped her remove her jeans, thereby implying consent. The following day, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim. Peace Over Violence developed the Denim Day campaign in response to this case and the activism surrounding it. Since then, wearing jeans on Denim Day has become a symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual harassment, abuse, assault and rape. In this sexual violence prevention and education campaign we ask community members, elected officials, businesses and students to make a social statement with their fashion statement by wearing jeans on this day as a visible means of protest against the misconceptions that surround sexual violence.     Denim Day is April 24, 2019! How does sexual assault awareness month help survivors and prevention? Visit https://www.dasasmi.org/ for resources.

Does cell phone radiation cause a health risk? The answer is “yes” according to Devra Davis, PhD, MPH. Cell phone radiation has been classified as a possible class II carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Studies have shown a probable causal effect of electromagnetic fields on causing brain tumours such as glioblastoma and acoustic neuromas. Cell phones have also been associated with fertility problems and certain breast cancers. The Italian Supreme Court has determined that Innocente Marcoliini's brain tumour was caused by his use of cell phones. Swiss farmers swear that their health and the health of their animals were adversely affected by cell towers. Mobile devices actually warn to keep mobile devices at a safe distance. Children are even at a greater risk of harm as their heads are small, skulls are thin and their brains are rapidly growing. Dr. Davis discusses the research, the science research, the resistance to such research.

S1E11: Christmas Behind Bars: A Special Episode with Amanda Knox, Jarrett Adams, & Jeffrey Deskovic In this special episode, Jason Flom talks to Amanda Knox, Jarrett Adams and Jeff Deskovic about what it's like for an innocent person who is forced to spend the holidays in prison. Amanda Knox was convicted of the murder of a 21-year-old British exchange student, Meredith Kercher, who died from knife wounds in the apartment she shared with Amanda in Perugia, Italy in 2007. Amanda and her then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were both found guilty of killing Kercher, receiving 26- and 25-year prison sentences, respectively. Their convictions were subsequently overturned in 2011 and Amanda was released from prison after serving four years. In early 2014, the Italian Supreme Court ruled that they should both stand trial again and she and Sollecito were re-convicted. Finally, in March 2015, the Italian Supreme Court overturned both murder convictions, ending their eight-year ordeal. Jarrett Adams was 17 years old when he was wrongfully convicted of sexually assaulting a young woman at UW-Whitewater in 1998. He was sentenced to 28 years in prison and spent close to a decade incarcerated before his conviction was reversed with the help of the Wisconsin Innocence Project on the basis that trial counsel had been ineffective for failing to present the testimony of a critical witness. Jarrett graduated from Loyola Law School in May 2015 and is currently practicing law in New York and advocating for criminal justice reform. Jeffrey Deskovic was a 16-year-old high school sophomore when he was wrongfully convicted of the rape and murder of a high school classmate in 1991. Although hair and semen samples taken from the scene did not match Jeff’s DNA, he aroused the suspicion of detectives by weeping openly at the victim’s funeral. After six hours of intense interrogation, Jeff confessed to the crime, though he later contended in a lawsuit that police investigators had fed him the details of the killing and promised him that if he admitted guilt, he would not go to prison but would instead get psychiatric treatment. With the help of The Innocence Project, Jeff Deskovic was exonerated and released in 2006 after DNA analysis linked convict Stephen Cunningham to the crime and Cunningham confessed. wrongfulconvictionpodcast.com Wrongful Conviction with Jason Flom is a production of Lava For Good Podcasts in association with Signal Co.

Amanda Knox has been cleared for a second time of murdering British student Meredith Kercher at the cottage they shared in Italy in November 2007. The decision handed down by Italy's highest court puts an end to seven years of legal wrangling. Knox, together with her former Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, were originally convicted of the murder in 2009. They were acquitted on appeal two years later because of doubts over the forensic evidence, but their convictions were reinstated in January 2014. Ruth Alexander asks what might have influenced the Italian Supreme Court's decision as she returns to interviews gathered last year with some of the key players in the case. The programme features contributions from: Rafaelle Sollecito Francesco Maresca - Kercher family solicitor Giancarlo Costagliola - Prosecutor in the case The original version of this programme was broadcast 20 February 2014.
