Being from Washington we've all heard the story about Amanda Knox. Even if you aren't from Washington, there's a Lifetime movie about it. The girl who was accused and eventually convicted of murdering her roommate overseas in 2007. She sat in an Italian prison until a jury overturned her conviction in 2011.
An Italian appeals court overturned Knox's acquittal earlier this year. She says she is considering returning to Italy for a retrial but she admits she's afraid to go back.
Why would anyone that is guilty of murder want to go back and be retried if they didn't have to?
From a PR standpoint I think if Amanda is truly innocent then it is in her best interest to go back and prove it once and for all. Why waste the chance to clear your name and fix your reputation? They didn't have enough evidence against her before so why would they have enough now after it's been so long?
After recently being paid 3.8 million for her book deal she could afford to hire the best lawyer and clear her name once and for all.
