Amanda Knox revealed on social media Friday that she is going “on trial in Italy again” as she seeks to drop the slander conviction she received for wrongly accusing Perugia bar owner Patrick Lumumba of murdering British student Meredith Kercher.
“I am no longer a convicted person. And I will fight with my lawyers to prove my innocence once and for all,” Knox wrote on social media, explaining that she is seeking to drop her slander convictionKimberlee Speakman is a digital writer at PEOPLE. She has been working at PEOPLE since 2022. Her work has previously appeared in Forbes and she has also worked in broadcast television as a reporter for Hawaii-based news station KHON2 News.
“Though I was exonerated for murder, I remained wrongly convicted of slander,” Knox wrote on social media. However, she said that the European Court of Human Rights “vindicated” her in 2019 and ruled that her “rights to a lawyer and interpreter were violated” during her interrogation.She said thanks to a recent reform, the Court of Cassation also acknowledged the European Court of Human Rights’ ruling.“Patrick Lumumba suffered 10 days of wrongful imprisonment, and Raffaele and I nearly four years. One day in prison as an innocent person is one too many,” Knox wrote.
