AI Summary:
Italy’s highest court hears Amanda Knox’s appeal of a slander conviction for falsely accusing a Congolese bar owner in the 2007 murder of her British flatmate. The ruling should bring an end to a sensational 17-year legal saga that saw Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend convicted and acquitted in flip-flop verdicts in Meredith Kercher’s brutal murder. Knox was reconvicted on the charge in June after a European court ruling that Knox returned to Italy in June for the verdict in the slander trial. The case made global headlines as suspicion quickly fell on Knox and her boyfriend of just days, Rafaelle Sollecito. After eight years of trial, they were fully exonerated in the murder in 2015.
