Mistrial Declared in 2006 University of Miami Teammate Killing; Retrial Planned

A Miami-Dade County judge declared a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a verdict in the 2006 killing of University of Miami football player Bryan Pata, allegedly by former teammate Rashaun Jones, prompting prosecutors to plan a retrial. Jones was arrested in 2021 and the case, unsolved for 15 years, rests on a witness’s account of seeing him at the scene and cellphone data, while his defense argues the state lacks direct physical evidence.

"Amanda Knox Faces Retrial in Italy for Slander Conviction"

Amanda Knox faces a retrial in Italy over a slander conviction for wrongly accusing a bar owner of murdering British student Meredith Kercher. Knox, who spent four years in prison before being acquitted of Kercher's murder, sought to have the conviction dropped based on a European court ruling in 2019. The retrial was ordered by Italy's top court, and Knox's absence from the proceedings was attributed to her caring for her young children in the US. The slander conviction challenge was made possible by a recent reform to Italy's criminal procedure code. Knox and her ex-boyfriend were acquitted of Kercher's murder in 2015, while the only person definitively convicted, Rudy Guede, was released from prison in 2021 and is now under investigation for alleged abuse.
