Amanda Knox was an American college student studying in Perugia, Italy. According to the Huffington Post, in November of 2007 her roommate, Meredith Kercher was found dead with over 40 stab wounds and a “deep gash” in her throat. Knox and her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were detained for questioning. Knox supposedly admitted to being at her house when Kercher was killed, but she blames her boss, Patrick Lumbra, for the murder. He was also detained, but then released. Another man came into the picture, Rudy Guede. A vaginal swab from Kercher matches Guede’s DNA, but he claims that another man killed her while he was in the bathroom.

In 2008, Italian prosecutors officially charged Guede, Knox, and Sollecito for Kercher’s murder. Guede was sentenced to 30 years, which was reduced to 16 years in December 2009. That same month and year, an Italian jury found Knox and Sollecito guilty on all counts. Knox was sentenced to 26 years; Sollecito was sentenced to 25 years. Both requested an appeal. They spent four years in prison before finally in October of 2011, an Italian jury overturned the 2009 murder convictions of Knox and Sollecito.

The murder conviction wasn’t the only charge against her. She had mentioned the name Patrick Lumbra during one of her interrogations. He was the owner of the bar that Knox worked in while studying in Italy. She has said several times that she had said Lumbra’s name because she was “confused, stressed, and pressured” said Carlos Dalla Vedova, Knox’s lawyer.

Her interrogation in November of 2007 was 50 hours long in which she was never allowed to use the phone. She also claims that her interrogators yelled at her and hit her on the head when they didn’t like her answers. Having been acquitted of the murder charges four months ago her and her lawyer have now decided to appeal the slander conviction she has for “falsely accusing” Lumbra for the murder.
