Knox had been found guilty of defamation for wrongly accusing Patrick Lumumba of murdering Meredith Kercher
Italy’s top court has ordered a retrial after Amanda Knox appealed for the dropping of the slander conviction she received for wrongly accusing a bar owner of murdering the British student Meredith Kercher.
Knox, an American who, along with her Italian ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, spent four years in prison after initially being convicted of the murder, made the request on the basis of a ruling by the European court of human rights in 2019 that found that her defence rights had been violated during police questioning in 2007.
The Italian court system really seems to hate her. Is she even in the country? I definitely would not go back.
The retrial is happening because she appealed the conviction.
Nah. She has been back in Seattle for years now.
