Snapshot · The Megyn Kelly Show
Prison officials falsely told Knox she had tested HIV positive, prompting her to write down every sexual partner; police then raided her cell and gave the list to the press.
Where this was said

Kelly walks Knox through the prosecutor's campaign to manipulate public perception: a chemically treated photo of the bathroom sink that appeared covered in blood was released to the press, even though the actual sink Knox saw had only a few drops. Similarly, claims that Knox had bought bleach receipts were never substantiated — post-visit crime scene photos showed blood and feces still clearly present. Knox then discloses the most shocking tactic: a prison vice-commandant told her she had tested HIV positive, prompting her to journal every sexual partner she had ever had in case she had infected them. The next day, police raided her cell, took every written document, and gave the list to the press. The result was an avalanche of headlines portraying Knox as a promiscuous, deviant 'she-devil' — while the actual forensic evidence pointed elsewhere.
Prosecutors portrayed Meredith Kercher as the perfect studious victim and Knox as her lustful, jealous opposite. Knox argues this played directly into the Madonna-whore dichotomy — and that her having multiple sexual partners was used as evidence she was capable of violence, a leap with zero logical basis.
