Amanda Knox Speaks, Part 1
Amanda Knox was an American student in Italy for just six weeks before she was arrested -- accused of murdering her roommate. She would go on to spend 1,400 nights in prison until she was acquitted and set free. But now a third Italian court has ruled she must stand trial again. Knox sat down to speak with ABC's Diane Sawyer, and as she says in the title of her new book, she spent a long time "Waiting to be Heard."
Amanda Knox Speaks, Part 2
On November 1st, 2007, a surveillance camera in Perugia, Italy showed a small moving dot, believed to be Meredith Kercher heading towards her home. That night, she would be killed in her bedroom, and her roommate, Amanda Knox, would be charged with her murder. Once again, here's ABC's Diane Sawyer.
Amanda Knox Speaks, Part 3
After the murder of Meredith Kercher, police interrogated Amanda Knox and her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito. Once the trial began, there would be two central questions for the jury to consider. Does the behavior of Amanda Knox prove she's a killer? And does the prosecutor present evidence beyond a reasonable doubt? Once again, here's ABC's Diane Sawyer.
Amanda Knox Speaks, Part 4
After her first trial, Amanda Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison. After her boyfriend of seven days refused to turn on her, his sentence was 25 years. And Rudy Guede received just 16 years because of his cooperation with authorities. Again, here's ABC's Diane Sawyer.

Knox thought her ordeal was over when an appeals court threw out her conviction and she came home to Seattle in 2011. Now she faces a third trial. Once again, here's ABC's Diane Sawyer.
