An Italian court has reconvicted Amanda Knox of slander, quashing her hope of removing a legal stain against her that has persisted after her exoneration in the brutal 2007 murder of her British roommate.

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

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.

Amanda Knox is back on trial for slander for wrongly accusing a Congolese man of murdering her roommate while the young women were exchange students in Italy.

Amanda Knox faces another trial for slander this week in Italy that could remove the last allegation against her, nine years after Italy’s highest court threw out her conviction for the killing of her 21-year-old British roommate.

When prosecutors sought an indictment for two American teenagers for the fatal 2019 stabbing in Rome of an Italian paramilitary officer, they described them as being in cahoots from start to finish.

(CNN) - Amanda Knox, exonerated on charges of killing her roommate in Italy, is moving forward. Knox and fiance Christopher Robinson have created a website seeking funds from family and friends to pay for an out-of-this world wedding. Twitter users questioned why she needed to raise the money at all while others wondered whether the wedding was a publicity stunt. Their wedding comes a decade after Knox was accused of killing her British roommate, Meredith Kercher in 2007, while they were studying abroad in Perugia, Italy. Both Sollecito and Knox were convicted in 2009 and sentenced to lengthy prison terms.
