Amanda Knox spent nearly four years in an Italian prison after being accused of murdering her roommate while studying abroad.
Italy’s highest court exonerated the now 37-year-old from murder charges in 2015. Currently, a decade later, the married mother of two expresses that if her children decide to pursue education abroad, she would wholeheartedly support their decision.
Knox, who recently released her book “Free: My Search for Meaning”, revealed to Fox News Digital her advocacy for students expanding their horizons through studying abroad and traveling. Nonetheless, she highlighted the importance of maintaining close connections with family when away from home to avoid potential challenges.

Guede, 37, was freed in 2021, after serving most of his 16-year sentence.
Earlier this year in January, Italy’s top court confirmed a slander verdict against Knox for wrongfully implicating Patrick Lumumba in the murder of her housemate.
Knox’s defense team said she had accused Lumumba, a Congolese man who employed her at a bar, during a long night of questioning and under pressure from police, whom they said had fed her false information. The European Court of Human Rights found that the police had deprived her of a lawyer and provided a translator who acted more as a mediator.

Based on Knox’s statements, Lumumba was brought in for questioning, despite having an ironclad alibi. His business suffered, and he eventually moved to Poland with his Polish wife. He previously said that Knox “has never apologized to me.”
Knox does not risk any more time in jail. She has continued her legal battle with the aim of clearing her name.

On a recent episode of her podcast, Knox said, “I hate the fact that I have to live with consequences for a crime I did not commit.”
