A Trial by Podcast

Ep. 070 | Meredith Kercher Part 2 [Amanda Knox, Raffaele Sollecito]


Listen Later

In 2007, 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher was found murdered in her apartment in Perugia, Italy. The crime shocked the world - but what came next was even wilder.

Italian police quickly arrested Meredith’s American roommate, Amanda Knox, and her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito. The media branded Amanda as “Foxy Knoxy,” painting her as a femme fatale - and the case spiraled into a global tabloid frenzy.

But the evidence against them was shaky. DNA testing later pointed to someone else: Rudy Guede, a man with a history of break-ins. He was eventually convicted of Meredith’s murder.

Amanda and Raffaele’s trials dragged on for years - guilty, then acquitted, then guilty again, then finally cleared for good in 2015.

Meredith’s death was tragic, but the circus around Amanda Knox turned the case into one of the most infamous true-crime sagas of our time.
