Amanda Knox Returns to Italy for Slander Retrial

Amanda Knox is returning to an Italian court to contest a slander conviction related to her 2007 murder case. Despite being cleared of Meredith Kercher's murder in 2015, Knox faces charges for falsely accusing a bar owner during a police interrogation. The European Court of Human Rights previously ruled that Knox's rights were violated during questioning. A verdict is expected this week, but Knox will not face additional jail time even if convicted.

The trial, which she is being tried in absentia, has reignited the legal saga that has spanned over a decade, with the court set to reconvene in June for rebuttals and a decision.

"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.

"Amanda Knox's Legal Battle: Facing New Slander Trial in Italy"

Amanda Knox, who was previously acquitted of the murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher, faces a new slander trial in Italy this week. Despite her exoneration, doubts persist about her role in the case, particularly due to a previous slander conviction for wrongly accusing a bar owner. Knox, now 36 and a mother of two, continues to advocate for criminal justice reform and raise awareness about forced confessions. The upcoming trial will examine a handwritten statement to determine if it supports slander against the bar owner. The legal proceedings continue to cast a shadow over Knox's life and work, despite her efforts to move forward.
