Amanda Knox was convicted of calumny, slander, or lying for stating on two separate occasions that her boss, Patrick Lumumba, raped and killed Meredith Kercher. Amanda said that she sat in the kitchen covering her ears to block out the sound of Meredith’s scream. Amanda repeated this lie twice officially, once during questioning and once again the next morning she requested pen and paper and wrote about it. She told the same lie twice and never retracted it. At the time that she fabricated this story (or partly fabricated it since many lies have an element of truth to them) the police were unaware that Meredith had screamed. Many murder victims don’t have the opportunity to scream as they are strangled as well.
Amanda Knox tweeted a serious looking picture, holding a sign which said in Italian, “We are innocent” imitating an Al-Jeezera campaign to free journalists imprisoned in Syria. Soon after people around the world as parodied Amanda Knox’s selfie.
