Amanda Knox was only 20 years old when she and her then-Italian boyfriend were convicted of killing British Meredith Kercher in the apartment they shared in Perugia, Italy.
After several trials, where Knox was both convicted and acquitted in multiple rounds, she was finally completely cleared of the murder case in 2015.
However, she was still convicted of defamation because during an early police interrogation, she accused a local bar owner of killing her friend.
In October last year, that conviction was overturned by an appeals court, which called for a retrial. The retrial began in Florence earlier this year, without Knox present. On Wednesday morning, she appeared in court, where her lawyers are expecting a decision.
"I hope to clear my name once and for all of the false accusations against me. Wish me luck," Knox wrote on X earlier this week.
The murder case in 2014 received a lot of media attention, especially with the prosecution’s claim that Kercher died during a sex game gone wrong. When the country’s highest court eventually acquitted Knox and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, the court pointed out "serious errors" in the police investigation.
