Amanda Knox’s murder conviction in the 2007 death of her British roommate has been overturned by Italy’s Supreme Court and the case is now closed, the court announced in Rome.
Knox, 27, of Seattle, was convicted in 2009 for the killing of Meredith Kercher, who shared an apartment with her in the Italian university town of Perugia. Knox’s boyfriend at the time, Raffaele Sollecito, was found guilty, too.
Both were acquitted in 2011 on appeal, and Knox returned to the United States. Two years later they were retried and their acquittals overturned. Knox was sentenced in absentia to 28½ years in prison. Sollecito got 25 years.
