Knox said on Instagram that Cartwheel honours Kercher’s memory while confronting the violence done to both women. The show opens Friday and runs for 11 nights. Knox and Kercher were students sharing an apartment in Perugia when Kercher was murdered in 2007. Knox spent nearly four years in prison before Italy’s highest court acquitted her and Raffaele Sollecito in 2015. Rudy Hermann Guede was convicted and later released in 2021. An online petition seeking cancellation has more than 4,400 signatures, the Hindustan Times reports. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Amanda Knox, comedy, crime, Edinburgh Fringe, Meredith Kercher Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/amanda-knox-defends-edinburgh-comedy-show-about-kercher-case/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
