Amanda Knox is standing by her new Edinburgh Fringe show after Meredith Kercher's sister publicly criticized it, arguing the production turns a real woman's murder into entertainment. Knox, her American roommate at the time, was arrested and convicted of murder and sexual assault in 2009 alongside her then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito. She also drew a broader comparison to other festival performances, pointing out that many acclaimed Fringe shows tackle difficult subjects, including grief, trauma and illness, without treating those experiences as punchlines. The petition describes the show as mocking the events surrounding Kercher's murder. Neither Knox nor Kercher's family has indicated the dispute is likely to affect whether the show continues as planned.
