Amanda Knox Murder Case: The Latest Update

Trial to Resume After Acquittal

American journalist and author Amanda Knox, who was acquitted of murder in Italy after spending four years in prison, will return to court on Wednesday. Knox, who has maintained her innocence throughout the ordeal, was previously convicted and acquitted twice in the murder of Meredith Kercher.

Background of the Case

Knox, a Seattle college student, was studying abroad in Italy in 2007 when Kercher, her roommate, was found murdered. Knox and her then-boyfriend were arrested and charged with the crime. The trial captured international attention, with Knox being dubbed "Foxy Knoxy" by the media.

Ongoing Legal Proceedings

The upcoming retrial is the latest chapter in Knox's legal journey. After being convicted in 2009, Knox was acquitted on appeal in 2011. However, the Italian Supreme Court overturned the acquittal in 2013, leading to a second trial and a second acquittal in 2015.

The Italian prosecution has appealed the second acquittal, and the upcoming retrial will determine whether Knox's acquittal will stand or if she will face a third trial for the murder of Meredith Kercher.
