Reversed on appeal by Perugia court panel. Sentenced for “slander” and sentenced to 3 years and 22,000 Euros. Served 4 years during process, so Knox will be released immediately.

A nice touch: Knox delivered an impassioned defense of herself yesterday - in Italian - and the Italian people were very moved by it. When the Prosecutor exited the building after the verdict, the crowd jeered him and hurled insults.

While not commenting specifically on the merits of this case, I do find it disturbing that people like Knox are accused of murder or other heinous crimes and people seem to eventually feel sorry for them and cheer their acquittal. It’s like people forget about the underlying crime and root for the new celebrity on the block. If it’s a hot chick, well then all the more reason to find excuses to believe her story no matter how absurd it is.

This woman was railroaded and the slimy Prosecutor said he is going to charge her again because there is no double jeopardy there. If I was her, I would get out of Italy as fast as possible.

Bad news for the “guilty until proven innocent” crowd here on FR.

I was never convinced of her guilt—not that she couldn’t have done it, but I never saw any sign of motive, and the evidence was fairly flimsy. Everybody seems to think she’s a great beauty ... I don’t quite concur, but her looks are very intriguing, for want of a better word.

An Italian appeals court overturns the murder convictions of American Amanda Knox and Italian Raffaele Sollecito, jailed for the killing of UK student Meredith Kercher in 2007 in a high-profile case.

Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito have been acquitted of the murder of UK student Meredith Kercher following a successful appeal in Perugia, Italy,

Miss Knox, 24, and her ex-boyfriend Mr Sollecito, 27, had spent nearly four years in jail since they were convicted of killing of the 21-year-old, from Coulsdon, south London, in 2007.

American Miss Knox sobbed as the judge said the pair would walk free from court.

There were protests outside the court.

Earlier, Miss Knox, who is serving 26 years in jail for the killing, was given a final chance to state her case in a personal statement and she told a packed courtroom she was “paying with her life”.

Tearful, and speaking in fluent Italian, the American said: “I did not kill, I did not rape, I did not steal. I was not there.”

She added: “I want to go back home. I want to go back to my life. I don’t want to be punished. I don’t want my life and my future to be taken away for something I didn’t do because I am innocent.”

Her ex-boyfriend Mr Sollecito, who was given a 25-year term, told the court in his statement that he was in a “nightmare” and said the claims against him were “totally untrue”.

This is a pleasant surprise. I don’t always have a lot of faith in the rulings of foreign courts and it is encouraging that the judges found in her favor. Hopefully, Ms. Knox and her family can finally move forward and put this nightmare behind them.
