Tanya Mosley

In her first book, Waiting to be Heard, she focused on the details of her conviction. Her latest memoir, Free, My Search for Meaning, goes beyond the events of her trial and imprisonment and explores the realities of reintegrating into society and rebuilding a life. Wrongful convictions have become part of Knox's life's work.

She sits on the board of directors of the Innocence Center, a nonprofit law firm dedicated to freeing innocent people from prison. Yet she grapples with a question that continually follows her. How dare she live when Meredith is dead? Amanda Knox, welcome to Fresh Air.

Amanda, you have learned, as you've been talking about over the years, through your criminal justice reform work, a lot of things about the system, but also just how common your interrogation experience is and was. You spent more than 50 hours in a room, questioned in Italian.

Those who have never experienced interrogation, I mean, will likely never quite understand it, how one can actually say things that they Absolutely. First of all, it was the worst experience of my life, worse than being convicted, was being in that interrogation room.
