Wednesday, June 5, 2024 10:56AMAn Italian court has upheld Amanda Knox's final remaining conviction stemming from the murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007.
In 2007 during an interrogation, Knox, then 20, accused her then-boss Patrick Lumumba of the murder, which led to his arrest and two-week incarceration. Speaking in Italian in the same courtroom where she was convicted a decade earlier, Knox told the judge that she was "exhausted and confused" when she accused Lumumba of the murder.
Wednesday's ruling dashes that goal, though it does not necessarily close the book on the legal saga; the decision will still have to go to Italy's supreme court once more, and Knox has the chance to appeal. Knox, Sollecito and Ivory Coast native Rudy Guede, whose DNA was present in the murder room, were all convicted of the murder in 2009. Guede admitted to being in the house with Kercher the night she died, but denied killing her. He said both Knox and Sollecito were also there.
