Amanda Knox, who was previously acquitted of the murder of her British roommate, has been re-convicted for slander in a case connected to the 2007 murder. Knox expressed her exhaustion and feeling of being victim-blamed after the verdict. She called the re-conviction a setback and stated her determination to keep fighting. Knox will not serve any additional prison time as she had already served four years for the murder conviction. The hearing for the slander charge was held in private and recording was prohibited. In an exclusive interview with Sky TG24, Knox tearfully insisted that she is a ‘victim’ and did not slander or kill anyone. She expressed her frustration at being unjustly accused for 17 years and vowed to always speak the truth. Knox, who was previously dubbed ‘Foxy Knoxy’ by the media, was acquitted of the murder in 2015 after spending four years in prison. She now advocates for criminal justice reform and fighting against wrongful convictions. Knox’s conviction for slander was quashed last year, but a retrial was ordered. She plans to appeal the recent reconviction to the Supreme Court of Italy. Despite the challenges she has faced, Knox remains determined and hopes that her strength will inspire others who are unjustly incarcerated. She loves Italy and hopes for true understanding in the future.
