Amanda Knox back in court in Italy for slander retrial

AFP English

Amanda Knox arrives back in court in Italy for a slander case related to her infamous jailing and later acquittal for the murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007. The American was only 20 when she and her Italian then-boyfriend were arrested for the brutal killing of the 21-year-old student at the girls' shared home in Perugia. The murder began a long legal saga where Knox was found guilty, acquitted, found guilty again and finally cleared of all charges in 2015. But she still had a related conviction for slander for blaming the murder on a local bar owner, Patrick Lumumba, during initial questioning by police.
