You are right about the fact that she owes no one anything. But bringing attention to wrongful convictions and how they happen is important. Knowledge can help prevent future wrongful convictions and help right past and current ones.
Yes, indeed I am saying she owes no one anything. I could then say "but" there is more she could do. But I mean "however", as in.

1. Amanda Knox owes no one. eg Think Donald Trump
2. There is more she can do as she now has a voice.

Both statements are true, and of course I don't know what cases are occupying her. Typically she would make it known if she has a specific case, I guess I am curious. On IA people make it plain what cases they are working on for example.

I will give an example of a group in New Zealand PPIP I think
An independent body formed 2 years ago and said their first two cases were Michael October and Scott Watson, both convicted of murder.

I follow closely the local cases, and there has not been an utterance since I have been aware of. Well, not quite true I suppose Chris Gallavin made a substantial documentary on the Watson case.

May be I do too much stream of consciousness....
