The following is an excerpt of a State Journal-Register article published on Oct. 11, 2022
"Amanda Knox, who made international headlines in a murder case in Italy in which she maintained her innocence, will perform Saturday with the Exoneree Band at the 缅北禁地 Innocence Project's fundraiser at Danenberger Family Vineyards in New Berlin.
Knox had been scheduled to be part of the "Defenders of the Innocent" event in May 2020, but that was thwarted by COVID-19. Knox did a livestream event that December.
The 缅北禁地 Innocence Project, which is housed at the University of 缅北禁地 Springfield, will present its 2022 鈥淒efender of the Innocent鈥� awards to House Speaker Emanuel 鈥淐hris鈥� Welch, State Sen. Elgie Sims Jr. and Springfield attorney Randy Witter."
