Amanda Knox Returns to Italy, Stirs Controversy

0:00On April 19th, Amanda Knox showed up in London, beaming in the spring sun, posting cheerful pics near Tower Bridge, just miles from Meredith Kircher's, family home. The 38-year-old American is there to host two sold-out screenings of a new film called Mouth of the Wolf, directed by her husband, Christopher Robinson. It follows her trip back to Perugia, Italy, where the British student was murdered back in 2007.

Supporters see Knox as a wrongful conviction survivor, pushing justice reform, now a mom of two. But critics say her happy promo post clashed with the family's grief, questioning why she won't close the chapter and let Meredith rest in peace.
