Amanda Knox has reason to celebrate her freedom. She has paid a high price for her innocence, having been in prison for almost four years.
But she may yet pay a higher price unless she can escape the clutches of the media.
She has been both demonised and celebrified in the coverage that followed her arrest and conviction for the murder of Meredith Kercher.
Whether the stories and comments were positive or negative, they helped to make her famous. Now the media that made her into a celebrity will want some payback.
There was plenty of evidence of that at her packed homecoming press conference, followed by her journey from the airport being televised from helicopters.
Compare what we know about Ms Knox with what we don't know about the man convicted with her, and now also released, Raffaele Sollecito.
For more on this contrast, see my London Evening Standard column today, 'Foxy Knoxy', murder and double standards.
