Amanda Knox

The challenge is that people who hurt other people don't like to be confronted with that fact. And so how do you start a conversation that's not going to immediately become adversarial? And that was one of my biggest challenges. But I came up with this methodology that actually became so important to me that I tattooed it on my arm. So this is it. There are four steps.

And the first one is find common ground. So it's this Venn diagram. Find common ground. I promise you that every single person on this earth, you have something in common with them. Find it. So I asked myself, what could I and my prosecutor have in common? I didn't know this man. I didn't know what his history was, what his background was.

But I did know that he, like me, was part of this really big group. scandalous in the media case. And he very likely felt misconstrued or misrepresented also in the process, maybe dehumanized in the process. And so I reached out to him and I acknowledged that fact. I said, hey, I don't know who you are. I only ever encountered you in the police office and in the courtroom where you were

someone who was trying to ruin my life. So you were a big, scary boogeyman. And I saw you in the media, and I've seen how the media represented you. But knowing from experience, I know how that can be very misrepresentative. So I said to him, I want to know who you really are. And I hope that you might be interested to know who I really am, because I don't think you know who I really am.

I don't think that you would have prosecuted me if you knew who I really am. And that was the beginning of the dialogue. This like I went out of my way to acknowledge that he might have had noble motivations even if he was wrong. And I think this is like a really important thing is I wanted to give him radical benefit of the doubt.

maybe just maybe this like horrible thing that happened to me could have been the result of understandable mistakes and if anything i think coming into contact with the innocence movement and criminal justice system stuff and reform all the stuff that i've learned after having gone through this experience has made me realize that like some of the most horrible things can happen and can be enacted by people who have the best of intentions

And so I assumed that of him and I gave him that benefit of the doubt. And as soon as I like opened that door, like, hey, you hurt me, but maybe that wasn't your intention. Maybe your intention was something else. He filled that void with his story and his message and what he wanted me to understand about himself. And I mean, one of the wildest things about this book is
