Note, from Deadline (): "UPDATE 7/30/21: To Clarify Legal Status Of Amanda Knox. The 2007 case of Amanda Knox, the American convicted in an Italian court of murdering her roommate (after being convicted and spending four years in jail Knox was acquitted and freed in 2011. She was later definitively exonerated by the Italian Supreme Court Of Cassation in March 2015), was the impetus for writer-director Tom McCarthy’s Stillwater, but in the 10 years since beginning, abandoning and starting over, it has evolved into something much more – and much better." I find it interesting that they mentioned she was convicted twice in a paragraph about her legal status, with the acquitted and exonerated part relegated to a parenthetical. And to have a plug for the movie.
