- Stephanie Kercher criticized the project for lacking sensitivity towards her sister's memory and the family's suffering.
- The Kercher family struggles with the ongoing media focus on the case, emphasizing Meredith's legacy over the dramatization.
Filming has commenced on an eight-part series exploring the case of Amanda Knox, who was acquitted of murdering her flatmate Meredith Kercher back in 2007. This production, called Blue Moon, coincides with the 17th anniversary of Kercher's death and features co-production by Knox and Monica Lewinsky. The series aims to depict Knox's legal struggles following her wrongful convictions. However, Stephanie Kercher, Meredith's sister, raised concerns over the series's insensitivity, expressing that it fails to honor Meredith's legacy and suffering. She emphasized that their family has endured considerable hardship because of the case's media attention, highlighting that Meredith's essence is not captured by dramatizations focused on Knox's experience. Additionally, Knox's past involves multiple legal setbacks, but she was definitively acquitted in 2015 after the Italian Supreme Court identified significant flaws in the investigation, leading to her release after four years of imprisonment. The story of this tragic event continues to raise questions about the impact of media portrayals and the family's reaction to them.
