ITALY JUSTICE

Italian court upholds Amanda Knox slander conviction

epa11391071 US citizen Amanda Knox (C), flanked by her husband Chris Robinson (R, out of frame), arrives at the courthouse before a hearing in a slander case, related to her jailing and later acquittal for the murder of her British roommate in 2007, in Florence, central Italy, 05 June 2024. A Florence court on 05 June, upheld Amanda Knox's slander conviction for accusing former bar owner Patrick Lumumba for the 2007 murder of her flat-mate Meredith Kercher in Perugia. Knox has already served a three-year-term handed down by the court. Lumumba had nothing to do with the murder. Rudy Guede, an Ivorian, was convicted of the murder and sentenced to 16 years in prison. Knox was only 20 when she and her Italian then-boyfriend were arrested for the killing of 21-year-old fellow student Meredith Kercher at the girls' shared home in Perugia. The murder began a long legal saga where Knox was found guilty, acquitted, found guilty again and finally cleared of all charges in 2015. EPA/CLAUDIO GIOVANNINI
