Amanda Knox's Legal Battle Continues

Amanda Knox was reconvicted of slander by an Italian court, reigniting a legal issue from her wrongful accusation of an innocent man in the 2007 murder of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher. Initially exonerated of the murder, Knox faced new legal challenges over statements she made during a pressured police interrogation. She claimed these statements were coerced due to stress, shock, and her limited Italian proficiency. Despite having already served the sentence during her previous imprisonment, the court upheld the slander conviction, disappointing Knox and her legal team. Knox plans to appeal to Italy’s highest court.
