Amanda Knox returned to Italy for the first time since she was imprisoned and later acquitted in the murder of her British roommate and later acquitted in the murder of her British roommate.

Knox, 31, was invited to speak at a conference organized by the Italy Innocence Project, which works to aid those falsely accused and charged.




On Twitter, Knox said Wednesday she is not doing interviews before her speech in Modena in the hope that her speech “will speak for itself.”

She was accompanied by her mother and fiancee, and escorted by plainclothes officers. She kept her eyes down as she exited the airport and did not respond to reporters’ questions.
