91. Knox: Can translators make innocence look guilty?
It’s 2007 in Perugia Italy. A body has been found, but the American suspect maintains her innocence. Amanda Knox spent 7 years in prison for a crime she didn’t commit, but the long path from conviction to acquittal led to her fluency in Italian and defending herself in court. In this episode, can we ever defend ourselves when we don’t speak the language? And when does bad translation lead to bad justice?
CREDITS
Presenters: Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen
Produced by Kate White and Lauren Armstrong-Carter
Editor: Anna Lacey
Music: Matt Chandler
Commissioning Executive: Dylan Haskins
