The opportunity for Knox was made possible when a European court ruled that Italy violated her human rights during a long night of questioning after the killing of her British roommate in 2007.
Amanda Knox is shown attending the opening of the Innocence Project conference, in Modena, Italy, on June 13, 2019. Amanda Knox will be back in an Italian courtroom on Wednesday to defend herself against a 16-year-old slander conviction.MILAN — Amanda Knox will be back in an Italian courtroom this week to defend herself against a 16-year-old slander conviction that she hopes to beat once and for all.
A verdict in the slander case retrial ordered by Italy's highest court is expected on Wednesday, with Knox appearing in an Italian court for the first time in more than 12½ years. Knox and Sollecito were convicted in their first trial, but after a series of flip-flop verdicts, they were ultimately exonerated by Italy’s highest court in 2015. Knox returned to the United States in October 2011, after her first acquittal. She is now the mother of two small children, and has a podcast with her husband while campaigning against wrongful convictions.
Based on the ruling by the European court, Italy’s highest court threw out Knox's slander conviction last November and ruled that the two statements typed by police were inadmissible. It ordered a new trial, instructing the Florence court to consider only a handwritten statement that Knox wrote in English some hours later.
