As she sees it.

Difficult to know just what to say about the news that Amanda Knox ("Foxy Knoxy") is to receive some £2.5m for writing - or co-writing - her autobiography, essentially telling her side of the story of how she found herself in court in Italy charged, convicted and then cleared of the murder of Meredith Kercher.  There does seem to be something morally dubious about making money on the back of the brutal killing of a young woman, and yet it needs to be pointed out that her family are some £1m out of pocket as a result of financing her defence, and this (presumably) will put them back in funds.  What we can be sure about is that we shall not learn the truth from this book - just Amanda's version of events.  What will be interesting will be to see what she has to say about the behaviour of the Italian authorities - there have been consistent suggestions that this was a case where they had decided early on what they thought had happened and thereafter massaged the evidence to fit their theory.
