Amanda Knox Jury Overturns Conviction

UPDATE: Amanda Knox leaves prison after jury overturns conviction

Amanda Knox, the 24-year-old American found guilty in 2009 of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher, was a free woman after an appeals court jury on Monday acquitted her and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito. Knox, 24, collapsed in tears as the jury's verdict was read. The jury had two options to acquit: determining there wasn't enough evidence to uphold the conviction or that the pair simply didn't commit the crime. The jury determined the latter, clearing Knox and Sollecito completely. After briefly returning to prison for a formal discharge, Knox was seen being driven away in a convoy. Rocco Girlanda, an Italian lawmaker who is close to the Knox family, said she planned to leave Italy on Tuesday.

Rudy Guede was convicted also and that conviction was upheld.

There was a thrid person convicted with Amanda Knox and her boyfriend in a separate trial. His DNA was definitely in the apartment. In fact it was that fact that was part of the Knox defense - how could she have cleaned the scene of her DAN and her boy friend's without touching this other person's - Rudy Hermann Guede, a small-time drug dealer and drifter from the Ivory Coast.
