In the fourth and final part of our Meredith Kercher murder case coverage, we dive deeper into the manipulation both of and by the media to portray Amanda Knox as the ultimate villain in Meredith's murder and the implications this negative portrayal had on Amanda both during the ordeal and after the final verdicts.

Additionally, we discuss the aftermath of the trauma on all parties involved, where they are today and how this case should be a lesson in the dangerous consequences of tunnel vision, shoddy police work, and the media's ultimate power to influence the masses in high-profile cases.

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.
