The article recounts a woman's harrowing 18-year legal ordeal stemming from her wrongful conviction in the murder of Meredith Kercher. Ultimately, the Italian Court of Cassation upheld her conviction for slander, which originated from coerced statements made during a distressing interrogation experience. She details the approach of police tactics, including threats and lies, which led her to falsely implicate herself and another man in the crime. Despite recanting quickly, the damage was done, leaving her branded a liar and burdened by the results of a systemic failure.
I was coerced into signing statements placing myself and another innocent man in the house when the crime had occurred. The police denied any wrongdoing.
My 18-year legal drama finally came to an end when the Court of Cassation, Italy's highest court, definitively convicted me of criminal slander.
The interrogation I was subjected to remains the most terrifying experience of my life. I was berated, threatened, lied to, and slapped.
