Amanda Knox to perform stand-up comedy about wrongful imprisonment at Edinburgh Fringe

Amanda Knox is performing a stand-up comedy show titled Cartwheel at the Edinburgh Fringe. The production addresses her wrongful imprisonment and the murder of British student Meredith Kercher, for which Knox was twice convicted and eventually acquitted by Italy's Supreme Court in 2015. While Knox asserts that Kercher would have found the performance funny, Kercher's family has described the show as offensive and deplorable. Knox was encouraged by comedian friends to address the situation.
