Oprah To Examine Amanda Knox And Study Abroad Programs: "From College Student to Convicted Killer"
The story of University of Washington student Amanda Knox's conviction to 26 years in prison by an Italian court taught us that risk and legal liability follow U.S. institutions and students on study abroad programs. Each year, more than a quarter million U.S. students leave the safety and security of their families and country to embark upon study abroad programs. Those students, families and universities will continue to grapple with the fallout from the Amanda Knox trial and verdict. On February 23, 2010, Oprah Winfrey will interview Amanda Knox's family on a segment entitled "From College Student to Convicted Killer," asking the question: "How do you intend to set Amanda free?" Catch the interview live on February 23, or check back here after the interview airs for a link to the full interview.
