Amanda Knox exonerated...
 
ROME (AP) — Italy's highest court on Friday overturned the murder conviction against Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend in the 2007 slaying of Knox's roommate, bringing to a definitive end the high-profile case that captivated trial-watchers on both sides of the Atlantic.

In a rare decision, the supreme Court of Cassation overturned last year's convictions by a Florence appeals court and declined to order another trial. The judges declared that the two did not commit the crime, a stronger exoneration than merely finding that there wasn't enough evidence to convict.

In a statement issued from her home in Seattle, Knox said she was "relieved and grateful" for the decision.

Does Italy have the same "double jeopardy" laws as the USA? I'm sure she just wants to put this all behind her.

No, they don't. This is the second time she has been exonerated. I don't know if they have triple jeopardy laws.

Pretty sure she will never ever go back to Italy even despite this ruling.

She was some hot looking 'tang back in her murderess days.

Can't say I'd blame her...

I would exonerate her in ways that would embarrass John Holmes.
