Diane Sawyer scores first interview with Amanda Knox

ABC's Diane Sawyer was granted the first interview with Amanda Knox, the US college student who was on trial for the murder of her roommate in Italy.

Knox spent four years in prison, then was acquitted in October 2011. Earlier this year she scored a $4 million book deal. I'm sure this will be a compelling interview. It airs April 30.

Amanda Knox, the college junior who became the center of a murder trial that riveted the attention of millions around the world, has never told her story. Now after the dramatic Italian trial, conviction, and the court appeal that finally acquitted and freed her she will speak to ABC News.

Knox was convicted in December 2009 and spent four years in prison on the charge of murdering her British roommate, but was then released and cleared in October 2011. Knox’s firsthand account of her voyage from American student studying abroad to a woman facing decades in a foreign prison will include details she has never shared.

The interview airs in conjunction with the publication of Knox’s highly anticipated book “Waiting to Be Heard,” which will be published by HarperCollins on April 30, 2013.
