Death Clock

Psychology of Being Wrongfully Convicted of Murder with Amanda Knox


Listen Later

In this episode, we are joined by Amanda Knox, whose experience with wrongful conviction and imprisonment offers a unique and insightful perspective on the human psyche under extreme stress. 

Knox became widely known following her arrest and subsequent conviction for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy—a conviction that was overturned after she spent more than four years in an Italian prison. Her case drew global media attention, casting her into a storm of public scrutiny and controversy.

Our discussion with Knox delves into the psychological challenges she faced, including dealing with confirmation bias, how she handled the feeling of 'why me?', and coping with the significant damage to her reputation. 

Throughout the conversation, we explore the complexities of human psychology in extreme situations and the resilience required to navigate through them. Knox's journey is documented in her memoir "Waiting to Be Heard" and the 2016 Netflix Documentary about her case. This episode is a compelling exploration of an individual's strength in the face of adversity.
