‘Amanda Knox’ pulls back the curtain on a media circus

This image released by NBC shows Amanda Knox during an interview on the "Today" show in New York on Sept. 20, 2013. Knox defended her decision not to return to Italy for a new appeals trial over the 2007 killing of her British roommate, even as she acknowledged that "everything is at stake," insisting she is innocent. In March, Italy's supreme court ordered a new trial for Knox and her former Italian boyfriend. An appeals court in 2011 had acquitted both, overturning convictions by a lower court. Italian law cannot compel Knox to return for the new legal proceeding. (Associated Press/NBC, Peter Kramer) **FILE**

Italy high court deciding fate of ‘very worried’ Amanda Knox

By Colleen Barry and Frances D'Emilio - Associated Press

FILE - This is an undated file photo released by the Italian Police of 22-year-old murdered British university student Meredith Kercher. An Italian court that convicted Amanda Knox in her roommate's 2007 murder says the wounds indicate multiple aggressors, and that the two exchange students fought over money the night of the murder. The appellate court in Florence on Tuesday, April 29, 2014, issued a 337-page explanation for its January guilty verdicts against the American and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito. The release of the court's reasoning opens the verdict to an appeal back to the supreme Court of Cassation. If it confirms the convictions, a long extradition fight for Knox is expected. She has been in the United States since 2011 when her earlier conviction was overturned. British student Meredith Kercher, 21, was found dead in a pool of blood in the apartment she and Knox shared in the town of Perugia. (AP Photo/Italian Police, File)
