Italy’s highest court has confirmed a slander conviction against U.S. defendant Amanda Knox for accusing an innocent man in her British flatmate’s 2007 murder, a sensational case that polarized trial watchers on both sides of the Atlantic.

Amanda Knox told Italian TV that she was surprised by a Florence appeals court decision to convict her of slander for accusing a Congolese bar owner of murdering her British housemate.

An Italian court has reconvicted Amanda Knox of slander, quashing her hope of removing a legal stain against her that has persisted after her exoneration in the brutal 2007 murder of her British roommate.

Seventeen years after she was accused of killing her British roommate, Amanda Knox returned to an Italian court to hear the outcome of a slander charge that has stuck long after she was exonerated of the murder.

Amanda Knox will be back in an Italian courtroom this week to defend herself against a 16-year-old slander conviction that she hopes to beat once and for all.

Amanda Knox is back on trial for slander for wrongly accusing a Congolese man of murdering her roommate while the young women were exchange students in Italy.

Amanda Knox faces another trial for slander this week in Italy that could remove the last allegation against her, nine years after Italy’s highest court threw out her conviction for the killing of her 21-year-old British roommate.

The only person convicted in the 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher has been freed after serving most of his 16-year prison sentence.

Amanda Knox is speaking out about her name being associated with the new film “Stillwater,” saying any connection rips off “my story without my consent at the expense of my reputation.”.
