Italy Upholds Amanda Knox Slander Conviction in Kercher Case
Amanda Knox has been reconvicted of slander by an Italian court for falsely accusing Patrick Lumumba in the 2007 murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher. Despite being sentenced to three years, Knox will not serve additional jail time as it counts as time already served. Knox, who was previously exonerated of the murder, hoped to clear her name but remains upset by the verdict. The case has been controversial, involving claims of forced confessions and human rights violations during police interrogations.
