Amanda Knox returned to an Italian courtroom to seek overturning her slander conviction, the last case against her following the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher. Knox, previously cleared of Kercher's murder, faces a retrial for falsely accusing Patrick Lumumba, a charge she claims was made under duress. The European Court of Human Rights had previously identified procedural errors in her questioning, leading to the current retrial.

Amanda Knox is facing a slander case in an Italian court, stemming from statements she made during the investigation of her British roommate's murder in 2007. Despite being exonerated in 2015, doubts about her role persist, particularly in Italy. The slander conviction was overturned last November, but a new trial is ongoing. Knox, now 36, has rebuilt her life in the U.S., advocating for criminal justice reform and producing media content. The trial will continue on June 5.
