SEATTLE — Amanda Knox, the Seattle woman who gained notoriety when she was accused and later acquitted of the 2007 murder of her roommate, is starting an advice column in the local news outlet Westside Seattle, the site announced Monday.
Knox recently married Christopher Robinson, whose family publishes Westside Seattle along with the Ballard News Tribune and the West Seattle Herald.
The post on Westside Seattle says:
"Amanda Knox spent four years in an Italian prison for a murder she didn't commit and it's given her a unique perspective on life. Now fully exonerated, this best-selling author and advocate for criminal justice reform offers her insights, such as they are, to reader questions about life, love, suffering, and meaning."
The post did not address the types of questions Knox will answer.
In 2007, Knox was arrested and convicted in Italy in the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher. She was later acquitted.
Knox's and her former boyfriend's convictions were annulled by the country's highest court in 2015 after a yearslong series of flip-flop higher-court decisions. Judges in that final ruling cited flaws in the investigation and said there was a lack of evidence to prove their wrongdoing beyond reasonable doubt, including a lack of "biological traces" connecting them to the crime.
