Amanda Knox was found guilty of murder today by an Italian court, the latest twist in a murder case that goes back to 2007.
The verdict reached by the two judges and six jurors came after several hours of deliberations at the Florence courthouse.
The judge sentenced Knox to 28 years in prison. Her former Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito and co-defendant was sentenced to 25 years.
Two Italian judges and six jurors began deliberations earlier today. If Knox and her former Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito are found guilty, the court is also expected to pronounce a prison sentence.
The prosecutor has asked for a 26 prison term for the murder for Knox and Sollecito, plus another four years for Knox on a related libel conviction.
This is the fourth time Knox faced a verdict on the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher while they were roommates in Perugia, Italy. Knox, now 26, and Sollecito, 29, were convicted in 2009.
After serving four years in prison they were freed in 2011 when an appeals court threw out the murder conviction. But Italy's supreme court ordered another appeals court to rehear the case. Kercher's sister Stephanie and brother Lyle were in the courtroom for the verdict.
Knox, who is sporting a new, short haircut, remained in her hometown of Seattle for the latest trial. Sollecito was in court today earlier today, but was not present for the verdict....

Do tell...
How do you know she was guilty?
By the way, her victims is Meredith Kerchner, a woman. Maybe you are anti-woman because you think it's okay she was brutally murdered by two people.
Yo Amanda!

The kind I like.
You do realize that when Guede was convicted, his confession was that he was there with Amanda Knox and her boyfriend, and that the previously uninvolved judge who found Guede guilty also named Knox and her boyfriend as co-conspirators to murder, in a trial separate from those at issue in this current brouhaha?
Do you think her parents got their moneys worth for her education in a foreign country?
The Pope and the Vatican is there. That and spaghetti.
No, clearly I haven't. I truly appreciate the gentle chiding from the dozen or so of you folks who have straightened me out. ;-)
“No idea if she is guilty or not, but, I think Amanda will speak Italian like a native before she ever sees another day of freedom.”
What in the world could you possibly mean?
lol
Annnnnd. . .the Italians peaked around then and have been going downhill since.
And how did she and her boyfriend know nothing was stolen before the other roommate came in and checked her stuff?
I hope not since she is innocent of the crime.
“Theyve got a really screwy justice system over there.”
Not to mention that this prosecutor Guiliano Mignini is one sick, psychotic, criminal SOB!
nick..way, you have been asked many times on this thread for the evidence of her guilt.
We are all waiting ...
Or is Post #6 all the evidence you are going on.
