Amanda Knox is from Seattle, where she came from a middle-class family and attended the University of Washington. Her parents divorced when she was a child, and both remarried. Stillwatergives Allison Baker (played by Abigail Breslin) a less stable and therefore more dramatic backstory: She’s poor, from rural Oklahoma, and was primarily raised by h...

Knox garnered an enormous amount of media attention worldwide: She was dubbed a femme fatale and nicknamed “Foxy Knoxy,” and all sorts of outlandish theories were spouted during the ensuing frenzy, like the one that the killing was part of one of her and Sollecito’s drug-fueled sex games. Echoing the way tabloids speculated wildly about Knox’s sex ...
The majority of the media attention focused on Knox and Sollecito in the Italy case, but there were a few other notable people who were investigated. When Knox initially questioned by police about the case, she implicated Patrick Lumumba, her boss at a bar where she worked part time. He was arrested, but was released after a short time, and Knox bl...
In Knox and Sollecito’s first trial in 2009, they were convicted of murder and sexual violence, among other charges, and sentenced to 26 and 25 years in prison, respectively.

Paying for living arrangements as well as her legal fees left her family in bad shape financ...
While Amanda Knox was in prison, she kept busy in a variety of ways, which she wrote about in her 2013 memoir: She studied Italian, kept a diary, exercised, hung out with the toddler child of another inmate as well as the prison’s chaplain, and she helped fellow inmates by writing and translating for them. We know less about how Allison spent her t...
There is no public record of Curt Knox falling in love with a local hot lady while spending time in Italy to visit his daughter and support her during her trial. In contrast, much of the plot of Stillwateris devoted to Bill Baker meeting and falling in love with a local hot lady while staying in Marseille for his daughter and her case.
After a four-year ordeal in Italy, upon her release from prison, Amanda Knox got a hero’s welcome back to the United States in 2011. Allison is also eventually released after some questionable heroics from Bill and receives a town fair upon her return to Oklahoma. I won’t tell you the final twist, but given how much it veers away from the Knox stor...
