Episode notes

During a heated interrogation, misinterpretations and miscommunication arose due to language barriers. The speaker's attempt to express confusion in English led to further misunderstanding and conflict, as the police officer misinterpreted the use of profanity. The situation was exacerbated by the assumption that the speaker could be interrogated without an interpreter due to their limited knowledge of Italian.

Sam Harris speaks with Amanda Knox about her experience of having been falsely convicted and imprisoned for murder in Italy.
