Author and comedian Amanda Knox denies that her one-woman comedy show “trivialises violence against women”. She also defends convicted child killer Lucy Letby after her own experience of being “wrongly vilified and accused”. She reiterated that the show at the Edinburgh Fringe festival is about her “experience of motherhood” and how she is having to explain her experience of being “unfairly vilified” by the justice system to her children. It comes after the sister of Meredith Kercher has said the show by Amanda Knox, who was convicted of her murder and later cleared, “normalises and trivialises violence against women”. She laughed as she defended her show saying, although it’s a comedy, it also touches on “the trauma I have gone through” and “how dangerous and unfair the world can be for women”. British foreign exchange student Miss Kercher was killed in Perugia in 2007, and her American roommate Ms Knox was arrested and later convicted of murder and sexual assault in 2009 alongside her then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito. The couple maintained their innocence and, after years of legal battles, were acquitted of sexual assault and murder by Italy’s highest court in 2015. Ms Knox will now perform the one-woman show, named ‘Cartwheel’, which references a story that claimed she did cartwheels in the police station after her friend’s death, at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe. A petition to cancel the show has also been launched, to which Ms Knox said “neither the author of this petition nor anyone who signed it has seen Cartwheel” and added that the petition “contains many false assumptions and completely mischaracterises the show” in a statement posted to Instagram. During the 5 News interview, Ms Knox also touched on her opinion of child-killer Lucy Letby’s conviction. While Letby is serving 15 whole-life sentences, Ms Knox’s has previously highlighted ongoing debates regarding the reliability of the original trial's medical evidence. Today, she told Dan Walker: ”It's a very traumatic situation for all involved, and I hope that the truth does not get lost in the hysteria around the trauma. “A lot of people thought questioning my guilt was incredibly insensitive. And I'm innocent. I am innocent, and it requires questioning the narratives that are presented to us, that we get the truth and we get justice. “And so I feel like people stuck out there necks for me when I was being wrongly vilified and accused, and I feel like I should pay it forward by helping others who might be in a similar situation.”
