An American who was convicted and later acquitted of the 2007 murder of her British housemate, Ms. Knox was found guilty of falsely accusing someone else of the crime.

The 37-year-old was fighting to clear her name after being convicted of falsely accusing a Congolese bar owner of murdering her British roommate in 2007.

Italy's highest court will decide on Thursday whether to uphold the conviction of Amanda Knox for slander in a case related to the murder of her British flatmate in 2007.

ROME (AP) — Italy’s highest court confirms slander conviction for Amanda Knox for accusing innocent man in flatmate’s 2007 murder.

Amanda Knox’s notorious legal saga has finally come to an end after nearly 20 years, though not in the way she was hoping.

Ms Knox served four years in prison for the 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher before being acquitted in 2011. But among a complex series of legal twists and turns, she was convicted of wrongly accusing a Congolese man of the killing.

Italy’s high court has upheld the remaining conviction against American Amanda Knox, who was jailed and later acquitted of the 2007 murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher. Knox was convicted of slandering her former boss Patrick Lumumba by falsely accusing him of Kercher’s murder.

Amanda Knox has lost an appeal against her conviction for slander in connection with a 2007 murder in Italy that gripped the world's attention. Knox, 37, filed an appeal last year to overturn her defamation conviction and secure a full acquittal.
