Italy’s highest court acquits Amanda Knox of murder; case closed
The highest court in Italy has acquitted Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito of murdering British student Meredith Kercher. The decision ends a criminal prosecution that has stretched on for more than half a decade. Knox was initially found guilty in 2009, then cleared in 2011, then convicted again in 2014. Unlike the United States, Italy does not have a prohibition against double jeopardy, which prevents the state from continuing to prosecute after losing a case.
