“There are those who believe in my innocence, and those who believe in my guilt. There’s no in between. And if I am guilty, it means that I am the ultimate figure to fear, because I’m not the obvious one. But on the other hand, if I’m innocent then everyone is vulnerable. Either I’m a psychopath in sheep’s clothing, or I am you” Amanda Knox chillingly says in the opening monologue of her new Netflix documentary, Amanda Knox. Amanda Knox does not set out to prove or disprove of Knox’s innocence (unlike the Emmy-award winning documentary Making A Murderer) but instead showcases how the murder case became unfairly sensationalized by a thirsty media and witch-hunting prosecution. The international media frenzy ultimately weakened the principles of good police work and journalistic integrity. “A murder always gets people going. A bit of intrigue, a bit of mystery – a whodunit. It was a particularly gruesome murder – a throat slit, semi-naked, blood everywhere – I mean, what more do you want in a story? All that’s missing is the Pope!” stated one of the journalists to first report on the story. Although Knox is now free, the court of public opinion is still out and may always be. But the question ultimately remains, why are we still so captivated nine years later? Are we just simply a cultured obsessed with scandal?
