    Italian court explains ruling clearing Knox

    MILAN, Italy (AP) — The appellate court in Italy that cleared American student Amanda Knox in the slaying of her British roommate has released the reasoning behind its ruling.

    The Perugia court said faulty evidence was used to build the case linking Knox and her Italian boyfriend to the slaying of 21-year-old Meredith Kercher, whose body was found in a pool of blood on Nov. 1, 2007.

    Knox and Raffaele Sollecito had their guilty verdicts thrown out Oct. 3. Knox immediately returned home to Seattle, after four years in jail.

    The appellate court released its 144-page reasoning for reversing the earlier verdict on Thursday.

      NO, she was released and it was tossed out for framing by bad evidence

        James, you're an idiot and with a diseased brain you are already in your own little hell.

        The court ruled that the prosecution didn't prove it's case. Case closed.

      Anyone whoever believed Amanda Knox was actually guilty is an idiot because they already convicted the creep who killed Meredith.Let's never forget Amanda's immortal words - "I would never harm my friend."

    • Richey  •  5 mths ago

      God bless you Amanda.Sorry you had to spend 4 years of your life in a hell hole,for none of your doing. As I see it, you and your friends got involved with DRUG peddlers,they won your trust,one of you paid the ultimate price.Looking back I'm sure the Perugia adventure you embarked on, in no way, you thought it would turnout to be such a nightmare for you and your family

      Amanda Knox = Sexually perverted tramp...oddball....and jealous as hell of Meredith Kercher.
      She never shed a tear, showed no shock, showered before the police were called....strange.
