Seventeen years after she was accused of killing her British roommate, Amanda Knox was back in an Italian court Wednesday, this time to hear the outcome of a slander charge that has stuck long after she was exonerated of the murder.

Knox, now a mother of two, was reconvicted of slander Wednesday for wrongly accusing an innocent man of the 2007 murder of Briton Meredith Kercher when the two were exchange students in Italy.

Patrick Lumumba was the Congolese bar owner who employed Knox part-time. He was arrested and held as a suspect in the murder, based on the overnight interrogation of Knox, and despite her hand-written statement later walking back her accusation. Due to the notoriety in the case, Lumumba left Italy and is living in eastern Europe with family. Lumumba has joined the current prosecution as a civil party, as is allowed by Italian law, and continues to believe Knox had a role in the murder.
