Aug 9, 2024, 06:20 PM

An Italian appeals court has ruled that Amanda Knox was not coerced but 'freely' accused a Congolese bar owner in the 2007 murder of her British housemate. The court found that Knox's memo, which is central to her latest retrial, contained sufficient elements for her to be reconvicted of slander in June. This decision comes as part of ongoing legal proceedings concerning Knox's involvement in the case.
