DMCA | Italy's highest court on Friday overturned the guilty verdicts against Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito in the 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher. The court acquitted Knox and Sollecito in the murder of Meredith Kercher, a 21-year-old exchange student who was found dead in the home she shared with Knox and two other roommates in the Italian city of Perugia. Knox returned to her hometown of Seattle in 2011 and has no plans to return to Italy. Knox's Seattle-based spokesman, David Marriott, told Reuters after the verdict that the decision was "unexpected." "I personally feel overjoyed that the truth has won out, that she is innocent," he said. |
