I'm italian and I remember very well the shitshow that followed the tragedy. When a case has no clear ending, and the press has already issued its weekly verdicts, noone comes out fully innocent and in that moment justice has failed. I'm surprised to read her name for the second time in two weeks, now even here on hn. Just a week ago, out of the blue, even if people had rightfully forgotten her... https://twitter.com/amandaknox/status/1418628570453200897 https://twitter.com/amandaknox/status/1418628570453200897 She has all the rights to tweet everything she wants, but that's not the best way to go under the radar. I'm convinced that, when there's the will, the world is big enough for anyone to disappear and get a new life.

I'm confused: are you taking into account the existence of this movie? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stillwater_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stillwater_(film) It's one of the points of the article. You really, really should take that into account before saying something like > I'm convinced that, when there's the will, the world is big enough for anyone to disappear and get a new life. and blame her tweets for the attention she gets.

  I don't know how much of the movie is relatable to her story, I guess I'll have to watch it... For what I know the tweet and most of all the article (which has spread at the speed of light from major online tabloids to every local news site) could even be a publicity stunt to generate hype around the movie itself. Who knows? Given the recent state of the media, everything is possible. And I'm very skeptic by nature. But let's get back to why for me is a lost battle. Look at the replies under her tweet, most people outside the US have made up in their minds a clear idea of what she is, she's guilty, they condemn her, no matter what the final sentence stated. I respect the sentence and consider her a victim too. But life is too short to try to change people's minds, or to fight against a movie "loosely based" on your tragic past. Maybe people wouldn't even noticed the correlation with her case (but again, I haven't seen the movie, I don't know how much evident is). I'm sure it's hard to live with those memories, but she has the means for a complete exit from the scene, people will forget, and a movie based on your life won't be profitable anymore.

It seems no one will state the truth, she's not neurotypical. As such her behaviour, is complicated. Which is how all this happened. It's unfair you're downvoted because without saying this, for her to joke about the death of her flatmate on Twitter is as immoral as what she is accusing others of.
