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.http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/25/world/europe/italy-amanda-knox-case/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
