Stories of Justice: A Conversation with Amanda Knox

Thursday, October 16, 2025 | 7:00 PM (Doors Open 6:15 PM)

Crosstown Concourse Theater, Memphis

About Amanda Knox: Amanda Knox stands as one of the most compelling voices in criminal justice reform today. Her personal journey through wrongful conviction to freedom has transformed her into a powerful advocate for justice system reform and media ethics. Between 2007 and 2015, Amanda spent nearly four years in an Italian prison and endured eight years on trial for a murder she didn’t commit. Her case captured international attention and highlighted critical issues in criminal justice systems worldwide. Amanda is the author of the New York Times best-selling memoir, Waiting to Be Heard, which chronicles her harrowing experience in the Italian justice system. Her latest book, FREE: My Search for Meaning, was released in March 2025. As a journalist and public speaker, Amanda brings clarity and insight to complex issues of justice reform. Together with her partner Christopher Robinson, she co-hosts the thought-provoking podcast Hard Knox.

About the Tennessee Innocence Project: The mission of the Tennessee Innocence Project (TIP) is to free innocent people wrongfully convicted of crimes they did not commit, to raise awareness of this pressing issue, and to drive policy reforms that prevent future wrongful convictions. Founded in 2019, TIP has helped to exonerate 9 innocent people from across the state who collectively served nearly 250 wrongfully imprisoned.

Why This Matters: Since establishing our Memphis presence, we’ve brought freedom to Artis Whitehead and Darron Price from Shelby County, and Ricky Lee Webb from West Tennessee. This event will raise critical funds to continue our work freeing innocent Memphians while fostering important community dialogue about justice reform.
