Amanda Knox's Slander Conviction Upheld in 2007 Murder Case

An Italian appellate court has upheld Amanda Knox's slander conviction for falsely accusing Patrick Lumumba of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007. Knox, who was previously cleared of Kercher's murder in 2015, expressed regret for her accusation during an emotional testimony. The ruling extends Knox's lengthy legal ordeal, though she retains the right to appeal to Italy's supreme court and potentially the European Court of Human Rights.
