She’s spent the past four years in an Italian jail after being convicted of murder, but tonight (October 4) Amanda Knox is making her return to the United States.
The 24-year-old flew from Rome to London where she boarded a flight to Seattle, Washington - where a press conference is to take place with swarms of media members converging on the locale.
The return to her homeland comes after a Perugia court overturned her murder conviction, as Ms. Knox had been found guilty of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007 with the help of her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, but when key DNA evidence was found to be unreliable she was set free.
And while the Knox family is rejoicing, Kercher’s brother, Lyle, voiced his confusion about what to make of the ordeal, as he told press, "We want to say we accept the decision but we are also looking at how a decision so certain a few years ago should be overturned. Rudy Guede's appeal was upheld by the court and the court agreed he wasn't acting alone. So, if those two aren't guilty, who are the others? We're back at Square One, and the search goes on to find out what really happened."
