"Italy Launches New Slander Trial Against Amanda Knox, Despite Previous Exoneration"

Italy has opened a new slander trial against Amanda Knox for wrongly accusing a Congolese man of murdering her roommate, Meredith Kercher, while they were exchange students in Italy. Knox was previously convicted of the slaying before being exonerated, and the European Court of Human Rights ruled that her interrogation violated her rights. Despite her attempts to recant the accusation, the slander conviction remains a legal stain against her, especially in Italy, as she pursues a new life in the United States.
