Accused . . . Targeted . . . Sentenced . . .Wrongfully Imprisoned.
Raffaele Sollecito and Amanda Knox were the victims in a
world-famous trial so bizarre that it defied all reason. Charged
with a crime neither could fathom, let alone perpetrate, they spent
four excruciating years in prison before their final acquittal.
Now, for the first time since, Raffaele reveals what really
happened between him and his then girlfriend before, during, and
after the brutal murder of Amanda's roommate Meredith Kercher.
With startling candor, Raffaele shares intimate details about his
changing relationship with Amanda as their giddy romance turned
into endless harrowing interrogations. As Amanda's only solid
alibi, Raffaele came under unrelenting pressure--from his own
family and lawyers as much as the police and prosecution--to change
his testimony. Doing so might have saved him, but would almost
certainly have condemned Amanda to a lifetime in jail. He refused.
Sifting through the wild accusations depicting him as a druggie, a
porn addict, and reckless thrill seeker, Raffaele shows how these
stories were gross distortions of trivial episodes. With
unflinching honesty, he takes readers behind the scenes of the
trial of the century--and inside the day-to-day hell of prison
life. Finally, and poignantly, Raffaele talks about his first
face-to-face reunion with Amanda following their release.
Emotional, disturbing, and ultimately galvanizing, this memoir is a
riveting account of an egregious miscarriage of justice, of public
condemnation, and personal survival. And, at its heart, it is a
tragic love story about a young man who trusted his feelings,
refused to give up hope, and ultimately triumphed.
