Amanda Knox Trial Case Latest News: American Now Works for Seattle Based Newspaper
New reports claim that Amanda Knox is literally making headlines as the American now works as an arts reporter for a Seattle Newspaper.
West Seattle Herald confirmed on Tuesday, Nov. 4 that Amanda Knox, the American convicted twice of the murder of British student Meredith Kercher by an Italian court, is working as a freelance arts reporter for the local paper.
"Yes. She's our arts reporter," said Tim Robinson, the associate publisher of the West Seattle Herald.
"She's a good writer and always meets her deadlines," Robinson told Seattle Met.
"I'm glad to have her contribution, and I'm glad that she's doing something in our community," he added.
Convicted murderer-turned-newspaper writer used to live in Seattle, and has been filing stories to the local newspaper for the past several months now.
When asked why Knox working for the paper just went out recently, Ken Robinson, Tim's brother and managing editor, noted that he doesn't know why.
However he said that, Knox's excerpts were received positively, "Except for some crackpot in New York-Other than that, I've got lots of attaboys from various concerns," he said.
The 27-year-old, who has been working for the paper for a few months, initially published her work under a pseudonym. However, recently she's been using her own byline, as can be seen on a review she wrote on West Seattle High School's production of 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' which appeared in Oct. 27.
"Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is notorious for turning Hamlet on its head and questioning everything one takes for granted: time, space, identity, reality, fate, freedom," Knox wrote.
On a side note, Amanda Knox and ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito have been convicted for the brutal murder of British national Meredith Kercher on Nov. 1, 2007, but now, Sollecito demands a separate trial.
Kercher was murdered on Nov. 1, 2007 in the home she and then study-buddy Knox shared in Perugia.
Nearing almost 7 years since the case started, and after the two were acquitted on Oct.3, 2011, Knox and Sollecito were once again found guilty as the Italian court dismissed their plea for acquittal. Knox was convicted of murder again in a retrial earlier this year and was sentenced to 28½ years in prison.
