Amanda Knox has said she wants to visit the grave of Meredith Kercher - but only with the permission of the murdered British student's family.
In her first television interview since being freed from an Italian prison, she said: "Eventually I can have their permission to pay my respects at her grave and I would also like them to know that she talked about them to me."
Italian prosecutors claim Miss Knox and her then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, killed Miss Kercher, 21, in a drug-fuelled sex game along with another man in 2007.
Miss Knox's alibi rests on her claim that she was at Mr Sollecito's house on the night, and not at the Perugia flat she shared with Miss Kercher.
But during a police interrogation she admitted she was at home with Miss Kercher.
Miss Knox insists she was at Mr Sollecito's home on the night in question When questioned by ABC News' Diane Sawyer as she launched her book on her experience, she insisted the partial confession was the result of her "breaking down".
"I didn't confess. I was interrogated," Miss Knox told ABC News. "(The police) acted like my answers were wrong, they told me I was wrong, that I didn't remember correctly, that I had to remember correctly, and that if I didn't I would never see her family.
"I can only describe it as breaking down, I didn't know what I remembered and what I didn't remember anymore. I was incredibly vulnerable at that time."
In the memoir, she writes about how she also considered suicide while in prison.
Miss Knox - who is facing a retrial over the killing - insists in the interview that she did not leave Mr Sollecito's home.
Miss Knox says she wants to visit the grave of Miss Kercher "We stayed in, had dinner, we watched a movie, we smoked, we had sex, we were together.
"We just hung out together, we talked, we talked about his mum, we made silly faces at each other.
"We stayed in the whole night."
The 25-year-old said she returned to the home she shared with Miss Kercher the next morning, but despite the front door being wide-open and spotting blood on the sink she took a shower.
"At the sink when I was taking out my earrings I noticed there were speckles of blood. But speckles, a few drops."
She said that when she got out of the shower she noticed a bloodied bath mat, adding: "I thought it was strange."
She returned to Mr Sollecito's home, and says she told him of her concerns after breakfast. He called police, who discovered Miss Kercher's body.
"It never occurred to me that I would ever be considered a suspect. Ever."
Miss Knox denied claims there had been any tension with Miss Kercher in the run-up to her death.
"It bothers me when people suggest that she wasn't my friend," she said. "I was stunned by her death, she was my friend."
During her original trial, much was made of Miss Knox's apparent lack of grief following Miss Kercher's death.
Miss Knox admitted she "could have been more sensitive" but said people deal with grief in different ways.
Her murder conviction was overturned in October 2011, but in March an Italian court ordered a retrial for both her and Mr Sollecito, 29.
