Amanda Knox has touched down in Italy for the first time since she spent four years in prison there for the murder of Meredith Kercher in Perugia in 2007.
with Knox, posted on Twitter that, "Last time I was in Italy, I took a train to Florence, blew my money on a 100€ bottle of barolo which I drank by myself while writing a bad short story. Then I slept underneath the Ponte Vecchio. This time with @amandaknox is going to be, shall we say...different." One would hope!the media sensation around her trial and what it took for her to go back to Italy, when the prosecutors in her case still claim she is guilty .
"I’m about to return to Italy for the first time since I was released from prison," she wrote, "and fled the country in a high-speed chase, paparazzi literally ramming the back of my stepdad’s rental car...While on trial for a murder I didn’t commit, my prosecutor painted me as a sex-crazed femme fatale, and the media profited for years by sensationalizing an already sensational and utterly unjustified story. It’s on us to stop making and stop consuming such irresponsible media.
