News about Amanda Knox

Tom Hayes was jailed for rate-rigging but says he was a scapegoat. Some are sceptical, but there is growing concern a miscarriage of justice has taken place. Ruth Sunderland speaks to him as Hayes reveals how he went from a fleet of Mercedes and a multi-million pay packet to a life serving alongside those in prison for killing people and on his release being broke and living in his parents' flat.

Former bank trader Tom Hayes, who served five years of a 14-year prison sentence for manipulating interest rates struck up an email friendship with Amanda Knox, who was accused of murder. She was found guilty in 2007 of killing her British flatmate, Meredith Kercher, in Perugia, Italy, before being eventually cleared in 2015. In their emails, he and Knox shared their experiences of being in prison and in the public glare.

The Poor Things actress, 29, was attached to the project back in March as both its lead and executive producer, but Deadline reported on Tuesday that she has pulled out due to 'scheduling conflicts.'

Carlo Pacelli made the dramatic statement about his client Patrick Lumumba (right), after Knox's trial for slander reopened in the Italian city of Florence almost 20 years after Meredith's murder. It comes as one of Knox's lawyers fired back, today insisting she 'was a victim' whose rights had been violated'. Meredith had been found semi naked and with her throat slit in the bedroom of the house she shared with Knox in November 2007 in Perugia, and shortly afterwards she claimed Mr Lumumba 'had killed her'. Her false testimony led to the Congolese bar owner being jailed for two weeks until a Swiss professor contacted police to tell them he had been served by him the night of the murder and he wasn't involved.

Both prosecutors and Lucio's attorneys released a statement saying as much Tuesday, in a case that has received attention nationwide, including from the likes of Kim Kardashian, Amanda Knox and Texas Republicans. As part of an agreement on findings in Lucio´s case, prosecutors and her attorneys say the suppressed evidence, including witness statements and a report by Child Protective Services, would have corroborated Lucio´s defense that her daughter Mariah died of a head injury sustained in an accidental fall down a steep staircase two days before her death. 'She would not have been convicted in light of the suppressed evidence,' according to the 33-page agreement between the office of Cameron County District Attorney Luis Saenz and Lucio's attorneys.

Amanda Knox is facing a new trial for slander in Italy tomorrow, eight years after a judge in Italy's highest court threw out her conviction for murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007. Despite a definitive ruling by Italy's Cassation Court in 2015 that Knox and her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito did not commit the crime , doubts about the mom-of-two's role in the murder still persist in Italy. This is mainly due to the slander conviction for wrongly accusing Congolese bar owner Patrick Lumumba in the murder, which was confirmed by the court almost a decade ago. That conviction was dismissed last November based on a European Court of Human Rights ruling that found Knox´s rights had been violated in a long night of questioning without a lawyer and official translator. But Knox still remains unsure whether a not guilty verdict in the new trial, which is set to begin on Wednesday in Florence, will be enough to convince her detractors of her innocence.

Amanda Knox will finally tell her side of the tale in a forthcoming Hulu series based on her amazing murder conviction.

When working on the initiative, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal that the two women have developed a 'close' bond, which will see Amanda shed a new and interesting light on British student Meredith, 21, who was found brutally stabbed to death in their shared home in Perugia, Italy, in 2007. As the case began to unfold, it gripped the world; and many gory details, twists, and turns have since been the subject of several television dramas.
