Amanda Knox will be cabareting on the Kercher case: "Meredith would have loved the show". The family responds: "Offensive and deplorable".

Amanda Knox has announced her intention to perform a stand-up comedy show titled 'Cartwheel' at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, referencing her infamous capriola during police interrogation. The show will focus on her personal experiences and the public perception of her, but she has stated she will not address the murder of Meredith Kercher. Knox claims Meredith would have appreciated the performance, as it deals with themes of being a young woman. The family of Meredith Kercher has strongly criticized the show, calling it 'offensive and despicable,' and accusing Knox of exploiting Meredith’s death for profit. Knox has rejected these accusations, arguing they assume her guilt and ignore her artistic intent.
