The court acquitted Knox and Sollecito in the murder of Meredith Kercher, a 21-year-old exchange student who was found dead in the home she shared with Knox and two other roommates in the Italian city of Perugia.
In November 2007, Meredith Kercher was discovered stabbed in the neck on her bed in the Perugia apartment. Investigators alleged that Knox, then 20 years old, and Sollecito killed Kerchner along with Rudy Guede, an Ivory Coast national raised in Perugia. Knox and Sollecito have always maintained their innocence. This is the second time Italy's highest court has looked at the case, and the verdict ends a long series of legal twists and turns. The Supreme Court declined to order another trial, making the verdict the final ruling in the case. The Associated Press reported that the judge's reasoning will be released within 90 days.
The case first went to trial in 2009, when a court in Perugia found Knox and Sollecito guilty of Kercher's murder. An appellate court overturned their convictions in 2011, clearing the way for the American student to return to the United States after having spent four years in an Italian prison. more
