TL;DR

Meredith Kercher’s sister tells CNN that Amanda Knox’s solo comedy show Cartwheel, opening at the Edinburgh Fringe and billed as honoring Kercher’s memory, is hurtful rather than funny for those who live with Kercher’s murder every day. The show has drawn petitions urging cancellation; Knox says the act uses humor to address the tragedy, while the venue defends free expression. Knox was convicted in 2009 and acquitted in 2015, and Kercher’s family says the pain of the case persists.
