Amanda Knox, ex-Italian murder suspect, convicted of slander by Italian appeals court in 2021.

Amanda Knox, the former American exchange student wrongfully accused of the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy, was convicted of slander by an Italian appeals court in June 2021. This decision comes after Italy's supreme court discarded two signed statements accusing Congolese bar owner Patrick Lumumba. The appeals court based its decision on the contents of Knox's hand-written memo, which it deemed to contain enough elements to convict her of slander. Knox's lawyer confirmed that an appeal will be filed against the ruling.
