Knox letter to Kercher's family 'never sent'
Amanda Knox claims she wrote to the parents of murdered British student Meredith Kercher insisting she had not killed their daughter but the letter was never sent.
The American's desire to communicate with the Kercher family is disclosed in her book Waiting To Be Heard, which is published in the United States today.
An extract seen by The Sun says: "I'm not the one who killed your daughter and sister. I'm a sister too and I can only attempt to imagine the extent of your grief. In the relatively brief time that Meredith was part of my life, she was always kind to me. I think about her every day."
Her lawyers told her, though, that it was "not the right time" to send the letter.
Knox: Ordeal 'could have happened to anyone'
Amanda Knox has claimed that what happened to her when she went on trial for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher in Italy could have happened to anyone.
In an interview on American TV, Miss Knox, who once more faces claims that she was involved in the killing in Perugia, said she wants the truth to come out and for her to be "reconsidered as a person".
"What happened to me was surreal but it could have happened to anyone," she said.
Asked about what it was like to be called a "she-devil with an angel face" and "sphinx of Perugia" after being accused of Miss Kercher's murder, Miss Knox told ABC's Diane Sawyer:
"They're wrong. I was in the courtroom when they were calling me a devil. I mean it's one thing to be called certain things in the media and then it's another thing to be sitting in a courtroom fighting for your life when people are calling you a devil.
"For all intents and purposes I was a murderer, whether I was or not. And I had to live with the idea that that would be my life."
The full interview is due to be broadcast tonight, while Miss Knox's book Waiting To Be Heard is published in the United States today.
Amanda Knox's memoir release put on hold in UK
Amanda Knox's account of the murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher will not be published in the UK "at this time", publisher HarperCollins has revealed.
The memoir, titled "Waiting to be Heard", was due to be published in the UK on 9 May.
A spokesperson for HarperCollins said, "Due to our legal system, and relying upon advice from our counsel, HarperCollins UK will not publish a British edition of Waiting to Be Heard, by Amanda Knox, at this time".
The publisher fears the book could contravene Britain's tough libel laws and run into legal difficulties in light of the retrial ordered by Italy's most senior appeals court.
However, the memoir is still set to be published in the US, Canada and Australia on 30 April.
Knox, 25, returned to her native Seattle, Washington, in 2011 after spending four years behind bars in Perugia, Italy.
Her book deal, which was announced in February, was reportedly worth $4 million (£2.5 million).
