  5. Amanda Knox Slander Conviction Is Upheld by Italy's Highest Court

Amanda Knox Slander Conviction Is Upheld by Italy's Highest Court

ai generated text

Amanda Knox was initially convicted of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007, but was later acquitted. However, she was convicted of slander for falsely accusing an innocent man, Lumumba, of the crime. The Supreme Court of Italy upheld this conviction, rejecting her appeal. The length of her sentence for the slander conviction was increased by an appeal court in Florence, resulting in a total sentence of three years.

    1. My reaction was one of great satisfaction, both from a professional and human standpoint. In this case, right after poor Meredith, the second victim is named Patrick Lumumba.

    1. She had been hoping to close this chapter.

    1. I am very satisfied. Amanda did wrong, this sentence must accompany her for the rest of her life. I had a good feeling about this since the afternoon. I hail Italian justice with great honour.

    1. I was interrogated for 53 hours over five days, without a lawyer, in a language I understood maybe as well as a ten-year-old.
    2. I did not know who the assassin was.
    3. It's a surreal day. I've just been found guilty yet again of a crime I didn't commit. And I was just awarded the Innocence Network Impact Award, 'created to honor an exonerated person who raises awareness of wrongful convictions, policy issues, or assists others post-release.'
    4. It doesn't get easier, no matter how many times I've been through this.
    5. I am not a liar. I am not a slanderer.
