In November 2007, the shocking murder of British exchange student Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy, sent headlines reeling. This episode delves into the intricate and controversial case that followed, focusing on her American roommate, Amanda Knox, who almost immediately became the center of the investigation.

Join us as we unpack years of complex legal back and forth and intense media coverage to deliver a fact-based timeline of this infamous true crime story. We'll examine the key players involved, the crucial night of November 1st, 2007, the discovery of Meredith's body, and the dramatic twists and turns of the trials of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, alongside the conviction of Rudy Guede.

We explore the initial suspicions and the focus on Amanda Knox, the controversial interrogations without a lawyer, and the crucial forensic evidence that was later questioned. From guilty verdicts to acquittals and back again, culminating in the final Supreme Court ruling, we unravel the complexities of the Italian justice system and the enduring questions this case raises about truth, justice, and the impact of media narratives.
