Amanda Knox, the Seattle college student who was unjustly jailed for four years in the rape and murder of her British roommate, said the sex-trafficking trial of socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and the criminal fraud trial of former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes are giving her “flashbacks” but argues their defense strategy, to blame it all on the powerful men they knew, isn’t believable.
Knox, dubbed “Foxy Knoxy” by the foreign press after it was alleged she participated in the murder of Meredith Kercher while studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, in 2007, said that even though she sympathizes with Maxwell and Holmes, she isn’t convinced they were coerced into their alleged crimes by Jeffrey Epstein and “Sunny” Balwani, Holmes’s former boyfriend and the co-founder of the Silicon Valley startup.
