Angel face : sex, murder, and the inside story of Amanda Knox by Nadeau, Barbie Latza, author instant download

xviii, 233 pages ; 20 cm, In November 2007 Meredith Kercher, a fresh-faced honor student, was found dead in her shared apartment in Perugia, Italy. Her body, naked but for a T-shirt, was covered in bruises; her blood-smeared hand was suspended in the air above her face; and she had fatal stab wounds in her neck. The Italian police eventually arrested three people in connection with Meredith's killing. One was her flat-mate Amanda Knox who, with her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito and Rudy Guede, was convicted of murder in 2011. They received jail terms of twenty-six and twenty-five years. After four years in prison, Knox and Sollecito successfully appealed their convictions and were released, only to be reconvicted in January 2014. Barbie Latza Nadeau covered every step of the investigation, trial, and appeal. She has been relentless in following the byzantine processes of Italian law and has never lost sight of the central question: who killed Meredith Kercher?, Foreword by Tina Brown -- A note on the sources -- Cast of characters: first trial -- \"Perugia is not for the weak\" -- \"Here is the list of people I've had sex with\" -- \"I kicked the door in, and then I heard a scream\" -- \"Everyone cried except Amanda and Raffaele\" -- \"The worst part was I still couldn't remember exactly what I had been doing\" -- \"I am not the one who took her life.
