Giuliano Mignini still thinks she was present when British student Meredith Kercher was killed, but says he now has ‘a good opinion of her’
For years they stood opposite each other in an Italian courtroom at the centre of a murder trial that gripped the world.
But the prosecutor who had Amanda Knox jailed for the killing of a British student has now struck up an unlikely bond with her, sealed in a tearful secret meeting.
Giuliano Mignini still believes that Ms Knox – acquitted by Italy’s High Court of the murder in 2015 – was present at the scene of the crime. But he says his opinion of her has now changed upon striking up a friendship through WhatsApp.
“Amanda has changed a lot and I think I can say that I know her,” Mr Mignini told The Telegraph, breaking a years-long silence on the 15th anniversary of Meredith Kercher’s death.
