Dateline NBC
Dramatic closings in the tech exec trial. Debate over DNA analysis in a quadruple homicide. And Dennis Murphy on Amanda Knox.

She didn't. They bring her in, and she doesn't have an attorney, and she's being interrogated by the homicide detectives in Italian. And she gives up what they said at the time was something like a confession, where she seemed to implicate herself by being in the house. She recalled the screams of Meredith. And the other thing that happened is that they said, who is the third man?

And Amanda Knox, under interrogation, gave up the name of her boss, the owner of a small cafe where she part-time waitressed in town. And she said, he was the guy. He's your third man. None of those things turned out to be true.

I wasn't in Italy at the time, but I was watching the coverage, of course, and I remember feeling so sorry for her. She was so disturbed. Her face was justβ€”it revealed everything that was going on.

Sobbing, sobbing at her table. And just like that, it was over. 26 years for Amanda, 25 for her one-time boyfriend.

Dramatic closings in the tech exec trial. Debate over DNA analysis in a quadruple homicide. And Dennis Murphy on Amanda Knox.

Well, it goes to an appeals court. And here it's very interesting because everything shifts to Amanda Knox's favor. They throw out all of the forensic evidence as junk science, incompetently collected and processed. And then there's a second trial. And once again, she was found guilty. And then the appellate court did something interesting.

They not only said there is not enough evidence to support a guilty verdict, they said she did not do it. You've got the wrong person here. So after nearly four years in prison, she was completely exonerated.

I think you could say that the events of her early 20s have really shaped the person she is today. She's living back in Seattle, as I understand it. She's married with children and has become a vocal advocate for those who are wrongfully accused, wrongfully convicted. And yes, she went back to Perugia to revisit it all. It's not a case that she lets go.
