Media darling Amanda Knox, an American student, was just acquitted of murdering 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher by an Italian judge. Knox’s boyfriend, whose DNA was found on the murder victim, was also acquitted. The judge said the crime does not exist. Knox was ordered to pay court costs.
Following a four-year legal process, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito were freed a few moments ago following an appeal against their conviction for killing Kercher. Both Knox, 24, and Sollecito, 27, confessed to the murder of Meredith Kercher in 2007. They were sentenced to serve sentences of 26 years and 25 years respectively.
Rudy Guede, a black man who was sentenced to 16 years in prison for rape and murder, has exhausted his appeals.
Once again, the media has influenced a court to free a murderer who should spend the rest of her life in prison.
