Knox over fears, will go to Italy

AMANDA KNOX won’t let a murder scandal stop her from returning to Italy.

Knox — who was convicted, jailed and then exonerated in the 2007 murder of her roommate in Italy while she was a student there — plans to return to the country where she was ensnared in the years-long legal drama, she told People. She said she’s no longer afraid of being sent back to prison.

“Now I have normal-person fears,” Knox, 30, of Seattle, told the magazine, “fears of failure, of not being smart enough or strong enough or kind enough.”

She was imprisoned in Perugia, Italy, after she and her then-boyfriend were convicted of killing Meredith Kercher, 21. The case became an international sensation, complete with a sex-party-gone-wrong hook. Her conviction was later overturned.

The memoir author and columnist for the West Seattle Herald, along with her boyfriend, author Christopher Robinson, 35, says she’s writing a reality-TV pitch about people who are caricatured in the media. Robinson and Knox moved in together last year and talk about marriage and having a family “all the time,” she said.
