Knox's Vents Fury After Being Found GUILTY AGAIN And Sentenced to 28 Years in Jail For Murdering Meredith Kercher With Ex-lover Sollecito.
Remember this case? A case of these students schooling in Italy and then became embroilled in a murder case after their British room mate Meredith Kercher was killed. Now, American Amanda Knox, 26, (left and inset) and Italian national Raffaele Sollecito, 29, (centre right) have faced trial for the third time for the death of Briton Meredith Kercher (inset right), in Perugia in 2007. This evening, after 11 hours of deliberations, judges sensationally overruled their previous acquittal and sentenced Knox to 28 years and six months and Sollecito to 25 years. Neither defendant was in the courtroom as the verdict was announced, though Sollecito had attended the lengthy hearings. Members of Meredith's family were there to hear the verdict. The co-accused were originally found guilty of murder in 2009, and were handed jail terms totaling more than 50 years. They were cleared nearly two years later, but the appeal court ordered a fresh trial in March last year. Speaking to America's ABC, Knox said: 'I am frightened and saddened by this unjust verdict'. Her legal team confirm she will appeal the decision.'They'll have to catch me and pull me back kicking and screaming'
