4 Spot-On Similarities Between Freeform's New Show, Guilt, and the Amanda Knox Case

Guilt: The story follows American student Grace Atwood, who is having the time of her life while studying abroad in London. After a long night of partying with her roommate and friend, Irish student Molly Ryan, Grace leaves their shared apartment to go up on the roof with her French boyfriend, Luc Pascal.

Real life: Amanda Knox was having the time of her life while studying abroad in Italy in the Fall of 2007, where she met and became fast friends with her English roommate, Meredith Kercher. While the two didn't party together on the night before her murder, they did hang out often, attending music festivals together and hitting the town. The night that Meredith was murdered, Amanda claimed she had been with her Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, the whole time.

Guilt: After waking up with Luc on the roof after their night of partying, the pair head back downstairs, where Grace runs into another one of her roommates, who is upset about the mess they made the night before. She then knocks on Molly's door so they can clean up together, but when Molly doesn't answer, Grace walks in to find her friend has been brutally stabbed to death.

Real life: After returning to their shared apartment after spending the night with her boyfriend, Amanda called Meredith on her cell phone but got no answer. After becoming concerned, she called one of the Italian men who lived on the lower level of their shared home. She told him that she had seen blood stains in the bathroom, including a footprint, and they then tried to break down Meredith's bedroom door. When they were unsuccessful, Amanda called police, who didn't want to damage private property by breaking down the door. The Italian roommate's friend eventually kicked it in, and they then discovered Meredith's body, which had multiple stab wounds.

Guilt: Grace quickly becomes the police's number one suspect after they uncover new information regarding her friendship with Molly. In addition to the two being involved in a potential love triangle with Grace's boyfriend Luc, a video also surfaces of Grace attacking Molly.

Real life: Amanda quickly became the enemy in the eye of Italian police and a lot of the public due to her strange behavior in the weeks that followed the murder. In addition to looking carefree while buying sexy lingerie and making out with her boyfriend in a store, Amanda also made a harsh comment about the brutal killing, saying, "She got her f*cking throat slit." It was also reported that she did cartwheels in between being interviewed at the police station, something she says was just a reaction to a very "confusing and terrifying situation."

Guilt: After Molly's murder, Grace finds out that her boyfriend may have also been involved with Molly and that she was definitely pregnant when she was killed.

Real life: One theory about Meredith's murder that was widely reported was that she was involved in a sex game with Amanda and two other Italian men. After she refused to participate, the three killed her in an effort to cover up what happened.
