Amanda Knox Acquitted: Murder Conviction Overturned By Italian Court
It’s official: Amanda Knox is a free woman. On Friday, March 27, an Italian court ultimately decided to overturn her and her boyfriend Raffaelo Sollectio’s murder conviction — relieving her of a guilty conviction found in 2014.
Amanda Knox, 27, must be feeling pretty amazing now that the announcement that she knows she will not be extradited by the United States government to serve a 28 year sentence in Italy for murdering her roommate, Meredith Kercher. The verdict came in the late hours of Friday, March 27, when an Italian court decided to completely overturn her original murder conviction.
