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.

"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.
