A few months ago, in that blurry haze of new motherhood, I left my infant daughter Eureka on the couch for just a few seconds. She rolled and slipped and tumbled to the floor, hitting her head, then burst out crying. /a thread to #SaveMelissaLucio

Reputational damage is not discussed enough when we talk about #reentry and #WrongfulConviction. Even after #exoneration, many people struggle to fully clear their name, to have the truth believed, to control narrative & public image. Journalists need to know and do better.

[Amanda Knox @amandaknox]

15 years after my wrongful conviction, the hate hasn't stopped: cunt, killer, slut, liar. I also have plenty of supporters who stick up for me. I posted a thread a bit ago about the strangeness of living in that dual reality...

"Only those can understand us who ate from the same bowl with us" - from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's "The Gulag Archipelago". But we try to educate people as much as we can about the horrors and lessons of wrongful conviction. Great thread here from my wonderful exoneree sister.

[Amanda Knox @amandaknox]

One of the unexpected gifts from my wrongful conviction is that I have become acutely aware of the cognitive biases that we are all susceptible to, and thus better able to avoid them in my own thinking.

My exoneree sister deserves to be treated better than this. It is ugly how some people and tabloids treat her. She is a wonderful person, with a good heart. Wrongful convictions are real, and she suffered that Hell. Allow her to have some peace.

[Amanda Knox @amandaknox]

The reputational damage I still bear from my wrongful conviction is incalculable, but here's a taste. I make a joke about that time I was horrifically locked in a prison cell for 4 years for a murder I had nothing to do with, and I get these responses.

[Jason Strong @jasonstrong01]

@amandaknox You deserve so much better Amanda. You've got a lot of us in your corner. You know I stand with you.

[Amanda Knox @amandaknox]

I have complicated feelings about stories "inspired by" my trauma, but ire for reviews of #STILLWATER like this one that refer to me as a person convicted of murder, & conveniently fail to mention my acquittal by Italy's highest court. @DEADLINE DO BETTER.

[INTHEWHALE @inthewhale]

Decided to hit up Red Rocks since we leave for tour in a week and won't see home for quite a while after. We'll be on the road for most of July and that includes an extensive Texas run, what we've dubbed the RIFFS AS BIG AS TEXAS TOUR, sponsored by Earth Skateboards

More tour dates and more on the way
