In the fourth and final part of our Meredith Kercher murder case coverage, we dive deeper into the manipulation both of and by the media to portray Amanda Knox as the ultimate villain in Meredith's murder and the implications this negative portrayal had on Amanda both during the ordeal and after the final verdicts.

Additionally, we discuss the aftermath of the trauma on all parties involved, where they are today and how this case should be a lesson in the dangerous consequences of tunnel vision, shoddy police work, and the media's ultimate power to influence the masses in high-profile cases.
