In part two of our Meredith Kercher murder case coverage, we focus on the arrests of key players in the case and a false confession that played a pivotal role in the investigation and trial.

The interrogation of Amanda Knox, Meredith's American roommate, and how her initial statement to the police was coerced under intense pressure ultimately leads to a domino effect that turns disastrous for her. We examine the impact of this false confession on the case, as well as the media frenzy and public perception that begins to surround Knox and the other suspects.

Join us as we analyze the implications of the infamous false confession and how it set the stage for how the rest of this case would unfold for years to come.
