The convictions of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito for the murder of UK student Meredith Kercher have been quashed by Italy's top appeals court.
The decision is the final ruling in the case relating to the 2007 murder.
Ms Kercher, 21, was found dead in a Perugia flat she shared with Ms Knox.
American Ms Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend were found guilty in 2009, then freed in 2011 after the convictions were overturned. They were reinstated by another court last year. 'Full of joy'
The couple had always maintained their innocence and the decision by the Court of Cassation puts an end to their long legal battle.
The reasoning behind the decision will be made public in 90 days.
Ms Knox, 27, said she was "full of joy" after hearing the verdict.

You probably should stop your sentence with “I don’t think.” Then it would be accurate.
The African immigrant who was brutalizing homes in the area and brandishing knives at the occupants...and whose fingerprints and DNA were at the scene.... That’s who killed the poor girl.
Is that Ol’ Dirty Bastard from the Wu-Tang Clan?
They’re celebrating? Maybe they should read the freakin’ evidence before they start popping champagne corks. The little psychopath is as guilty as it gets, the evidence is beyond overwhelming or maybe they think bloody footprints from Amandas barefeet was all staged? Yes all the evidence was staged, they took cast molds of her barefeet, dipped it in blood and applied it to the floor because Italian cops have nothing better to do than frame Americans just like OJ. Freakin’ morons.

Rudy Guede, (an African immigrant with a long criminal history, a history of similar style break-ins and a proclivity for using knives just like the murder weapon), killed Meredith Kercher, admitted to killing her and is currently serving a 16 year sentence for that crime.
And that sentence that should have been 30+ years but Guede cut a deal with a very corrupt and ethically challenged prosecutor, Giuliani Mignini in exchange for implicating Knox and Sollecito – something Guede later recanted by saying they were not there when he alone raped and murdered Kercher and that he had never met them.
But Mignini is wildly obsessed with Satanism, seeing evidence for it everywhere even where it doesn’t exist. When first prosecuting Knox and Sollecito, he tried to make the case that Satanism was the motivation for the murder and when that didn’t pan out, he changed it to “a sex game gone wrong” and when that didn’t pan out, it was some sort of drug fueled act of jealousy.
To understand more about Mignini and his obsession with vast conspiracies and of his incompetency and lack of ethics, read the book Monster of Florence, a true crime story written by American crime novelist Douglas Preston and Italian journalist Mario Spezi.
Spezi had written extensively about the serial murders of “Il mostro di Firenze” for years and had been critical of Mignini and his and the local police’s handing of the case which saw several people falsely accused and imprisoned as being the killer only to have the killings continue while these people were in jail.
When he and Preston collaborated in investigating the case themselves and published their book in Italy, Mignini who had just published his own book, went on a vendetta against Preston and Spezi, accusing Spezi of being the actual serial killer and Preston of being an accessory. Preston was interrogated for days without being able to contact an attorney or having an Italian translator (much like he did to Knox) and was finally released on condition that he leave the country. Spezi was jailed and put into solitary confinement for weeks, also not allowed to contact an attorney but was finally, years later completely cleared. But Mignini wasn’t done and sued Preston and Spezi for “slander” because of what they had written about his incompetence. Mignini also filed a “slander” suit against Knox’s parents because they had the audacity to repeat her sworn court testimony in an American press interview.
She is guilty as hell. Read the evidence against her, it’s mind boggling..........

My theory is the Italians are letting her go because of all the outrage from the leftists over here, they are afraid of losing all that tourist $$$. That’s the only explanation I can come up with as to why they were acquitted because only a complete and utter moron would think she was innocent after reading such a huge mountain of evidence. This girl is a little psychopath playing up the whole “sweet innocent girl” routine and it would not surprise me in the least if she kills again.
I don't think that is her in the photo at Post 1, if that photo is what you were referring to. The caption says it is her friends leaving the house. Here is a more typical picture of her:
I don’t think that is her in the photo at Post 1. It appears to be a friend of hers. See above photo.
That's crazy talk! Who could possibly think such a thing? A violent African male? It just makes no sense.
It was clearly Amanda Knox, a quiet, shy young woman on her school's Dean's List, who had no criminal past whatsoever, who decided one day to commit cold-blooded murder.
That’s not evidence at your link. It is someone’s summary of evidence and clearly their negative opinion enters into much of the summary. I don’t know enough about the case to say guilt or innocence one way or the other; but as an editor, I read for what is actually a provable assertion and what is a speculation, and the stuff at that link seems speculative by at least half.

Amanda Knox is Innocent of Brutal Murder, Retired FBI Agent Claims
comeuppance, chew on that
I was thinking the same thing, that a couple people here did not know what she looked like... Amanda was not parading around the street like that
one word for you...comeuppance
and what’s this crapola that she was only supported by leftists?
True Conservatives do actually believe in innocent until proven guilty etc, and yes true conservatives provide fresh cool water for their dogs and cats.

I believe Knox made some stupid choices, I wouldn’t call her “innocent,” but I do not believe she murdered the girl.
Great information thank you.
I don't know if she is guilty or innocent because I haven't read the evidence. But obviously, the evidence and procedure in this case were as botched as was the O J Simpson case, adding pain to the murdered girl's family and casting suspicion over Knox and Sollecito for life. Badly done.
Consider what you might say if you were a young woman interrogated by older male policemen in a foreign language with which you were barely familiar for more than 8 hours without food, water or an attorney.
One thing I’ve learned on FR: For every person cleared of a murder charge, there will be a bunch of Freepers insisting that they’re guilty.
