Amanda Knox admits she FORGOT the anniversary of the day she was convicted of Meredith Kercher’s murder – two months after secretly welcoming her second child

• The 36-year-old took to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday to share the bizarre post
• Knox, from Seattle, was sentenced to 26 years in prison before being cleared
• She quietly welcomed her second child with her husband two months ago 

Amanda Knox has admitted that she forgot the anniversary of the day she was convicted of Meredith Kercher’s murder – claiming that her lack of awareness of the milestone date is a signifier of what it means to be ‘free’. 

The 36-year-old took to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday with a bizarre post that said she had ‘didn’t even remember’ the date – December 4 – due to the arrival of her second child.

Knox, from Seattle, Washington, was previously sentenced to 26 years in prison for faking a break-in, defamation, sexual violence, and murder before eventually being cleared.

She quietly welcomed her second child with husband Christopher Robinson two months ago – just weeks after she announced that she was expecting again.

Knox’s full post read: ‘Someone just reminded me that on this day, 14 years ago, I was convicted of murder. I didn’t even remember.

‘I’ve got a baby in my arms. I’m not sleeping more than 3 hours at a stretch. I barely know what day it is. 

‘I’ve got more important anniversaries to mark. That’s freedom.’

She and Christopher confirmed their new arrival, who they have named Echo, during the most recent episode of their Younglings podcast.

Christopher told their listeners that baby Echo was born on September 23 and weighed seven pounds, six ounces.

Amanda, who revealed she was pregnant with a second baby back in August, added that the birth was ‘easy-peasy.’ 

The notorious exchange student met Chris – an author and poet – in 2015 when she was working for the West Seattle Herald and had to review one of his books.

They got engaged in 2018 and tied the knot in March 2020 during a time-travel-themed wedding.

After becoming a mom for the first time, Amanda, who was thrown into the public eye back in 2007 after her roommate Meredith Kercher was brutally murdered, revealed that she wanted to keep her daughter out of the spotlight.

Amanda was wrongfully arrested and convicted for the killing and spent four years in prison before she was exonerated. 

The trial gripped the globe as millions watched on and debated over whether or not they believed Amanda was innocent or guilty. 

‘Since my exoneration, I’ve struggled to reclaim my identity and protect the people I love from being exploited as tabloid content,’ Amanda wrote on Instagram following Eureka’s birth.

‘It’s not easy, and I often feel like I’m trying to invent good choices out of bad whole cloth. 

‘I know that I cannot 100 per cent protect my daughter from the kind of treatment I’ve suffered, but I’m doing the best I can. 

‘Which is why this will be the only picture of her I will ever share on social media. I’m so grateful to everyone who has wished [Chris] and I well on our journey to parenthood. Thank you for believing in us.’

Back in October, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that Amanda was teaming up with Monica Lewinsky to create a big-budget TV drama that will tell her story and shed new light on the untimely death of British student Meredith, who was found stabbed to death at age 21 in their shared home in Perugia, Italy, in 2007. 

The case and its many gory details, twists, and turns, have since been the focus of several TV dramas. 

But now, Amanda is set to put her own spin on the retelling of events that have been so closely scrutinized over the last 16 years.

Amanda – and her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito – were both found guilty of exchange student Meredith’s death.

She was the one to first call the police after she discovered Meredith’s bedroom door locked and found blood in the bathroom, but after law enforcement officials noticed her acting odd, she became a suspect.

At the time, Amanda put the blame on her boss at a local bar she worked at, Patrick Lumumba, who had a solid alibi, which only made police more suspicious of her.

After an immense investigation and trial, Amanda, who was 20 years old at the time, as well as her boyfriend Raffaele, were convicted for the crime in 2009 – and she was sentenced to 26 years in prison for faking a break-in, defamation, sexual violence, and murder.

Later, however, a known burglar named Rudy Guede was arrested and found guilty for killing Meredith after his bloodstained fingerprints were found on her belongings.

Amanda and Raffaele’s convictions were both overturned by an Italian court in 2015.

She was eventually paid nearly $19,000 in compensation for miscarriages of justice, including not being given a lawyer or a competent interpreter when she was first held in custody.

Since then, she wrote a memoir about what happened to her, and in 2018, she became the host of a series called The Scarlet Letter Reports, which focuses on the ‘gendered nature of public shaming.’ In addition, she runs a podcast called The Truth About True Crime.
