Amanda Knox: 'They'll Have to Pull Me Back
Kicking and Screaming to Prison'

In a series of exclusive interviews in the days building up to the latest
verdict, Knox said that in such a situation she hoped the US government
would refuse to extradite her: "I'm definitely not going back to Italy
willingly. They'll have to catch me and pull me back kicking and screaming
into a prison that I don't deserve to be in. I will fight for my
innocence."
.
The American student's train has indeed hit the buffers. On Thursday the
appeal court in Florence re-convicted Knox and her Italian former
boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito of the brutal murder of the much-loved
British student in 2007.
.
At the time, Knox and Kercher were gap-year students living in the
picturesque hilltop town of Perugia. The case was fodder for both the
tabloids and the chattering classes a beautiful middle-class female
student stabbed in the throat by another beautiful middle-class female
student. Knox was labelled by prosecutors as a chilly, sex-obsessed,
woman-hating psychopath. Her friends maintain that couldn't be further
from the truth; that she was a rose-tinted idealist who saw the best in
everyone.
.
Knox told the Guardian this week that she had been in touch with Sollecito
during the trial, but she denied that he had asked her to marry him in
order to gain US citizenship and escape imprisonment, as had been reported
in some newspapers. "It is not true. I don't know where that came from."
.
Knox said she was relatively fortunate in that she had been able to return
to America, and that she was worried for Sollecito. "He's really scared.
And really vulnerable. I think he feels abandoned by his own country.
Where's he going to run and hide? It's a shame that more people aren't
fighting to protect him."
.
Asked how she would feel if he was imprisoned while she remained free, she
said: "That would drive me crazy. I don't know what I could do, but I'd do
it. There would be action. And there would be an outcry."
.
She said the whole experience had irreparably damaged her. "I am a marked
person, and no one who's unmarked is going to understand that. It's very
intimidating. I don't even know what my place is anymore. What's my role
in society? Who am I, after everybody has branded me?"

Amanda Knox again found guilty in 2007 slaying of roommate in Italy

FLORENCE, Italy -- American student Amanda Knox and her Italian former
boyfriend were found guilty on Thursday in the 2007 slaying of her British
roommate, Meredith Kercher.
.
It was the third verdict in the case for Knox, 26, and Raffaele Sollecito,
29, who were found guilty in 2009 of killing Kercher. That conviction was
overturned two years later on appeal, only to have the decision later
overruled.
.
Knox was not in court Thursday when Judge Alessandro Nencini sentenced her
to 28-1/2 years in prison, more than the 26 years she received at her
first trial. She refused to attend the second appeal, which opened in
Florence last year, writing to the court from Seattle that she feared
being "wrongly convicted."
.
Sollecito was sentenced to 25 years. He was instructed to hand over his
passport and forbidden from leaving the country before Italys supreme
court confirms the sentence.
.
If the guilty verdict is upheld by the supreme court, Knox could face
extradition proceedings. But under Italys slow-paced justice system, the
supreme court is unlikely to hear the case until April or May 2015, said
Francesco Maresca, a lawyer for the Kercher family.
.
Shortly before the jurors took the case Thursday, Knox's lawyers called on
them to not overlook mistakes made by investigators. We are anxious about
your verdict, lawyer Luciano Ghirga told the judge and jurors moments
before they filed out to consider it.

.
In an interview with Italian television Wednesday, Knox said she would be
waiting at home with her family for the verdict with "my heart in my
mouth."
.
"The proof is in the facts. There is no proof I was there when it
happened," she said.
