After four long years, she’s finally going to sleep in her own room again. She’s going to be where her family and friends have been waiting for her since this whole ordeal started. She’s going to get to live the life she was deprived. This is her time now.
Yesterday, Amanda Knox was found innocent of the murder of Meredith Kercher after DNA evidence was found to be insufficient and unreliable. After returning to prison to collect her personal things, Amanda was swiftly escorted to the airport to get her back to Seattle.
With the help of former FBI agent Steve Moore, a longtime Knox supporter, Amanda and her family left early this morning for London, where they will connect with a transfer to Seattle. Before leaving the country, Amanda released a brief statement, thanking those “who shared my suffering and helped me survive with hope.”
Safe travels, Amanda – and welcome home.
