Dori: Let Amanda Knox lead her life, write newspaper column

Amanda Knox is launching a local advice column in a community newspaper in Seattle.

Knox married a man named Christopher Robinson, whose family owns the Westside Seattle, the Ballard News Tribune, and the West Seattle Herald. The “Ask Amanda Knox” column will run in Westside Seattle.

Knox, of course, is the woman who spent four years in an Italian prison after being accused of aiding in the murder of her roommate during a year abroad. I have no idea if she was guilty of the murder or not because I didn’t follow the case. But the fact of the matter is, she was acquitted.

Everybody seems to be jumping all over her. The Seattle Times piece on her column was written with kind of a snide tone. People in the comments were being very rude about it, saying things like, “Oh, she’s just finding another way to use her fame.”

Amanda Knox talks Jonestown, life after exoneration, and more

I have one message to them.

She is supposed to go and live her life now. She can go and earn an income and do whatever she wants. You have the choice to follow her or ignore her.

She’s been acquitted. Let her lead her life and make a living like everybody else.
