Amanda Knox's New Fate

In 2007, Amanda Knox, an American college student studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, allegedly murdered another student, Meredith Kercher, 21. In November, Meredith was found semi-naked with a slashed throat at the home they shared. Also arrested was Amanda's boyfriend at the time, Raffaele Sollecito. However, a man by the name of Rudy Guede was convicted of Meredith Kercher's murder. Knox spent four years in jail before the conviction was overturned. Her family hopes that Monday will be the final day of this long ordeal. The Italian Supreme Court will decide whether or not prosecutors will be allowed to retry her. Amanda's lawyer, Luciano Ghirga, stated that they are confident in the Italian legal system and Knox wants to return to Italy as a free woman.

LeBron James Offered $1 Million by Magic Johnson

Magic Johnson, retired professional basketball player, has offered Miami Heat's LeBron James $1 million to participate in and win next year's professional basketball slam dunk contest. According to ESPN, James is still considering whether or not he should accept the offer from Johnson. Named the best player in the National Basketball Association, LeBron has recently had some pretty impressive pre-game warm-up dunks, so it is very likely he could pull out a win in the contest. Also according to ESPN, the winner of the dunk contest already receives $100,000 and the runner-up receives $50,000. To most, this large-scale bet seems outrageous, and most find it offensive. However, the money could go to various charities and people wouldn't be so judgmental of the whole concept.
