Knox appeal upheld, new trial for slandering bar owner set

Knox appeal upheld, new trial for slandering bar owner set

An appeal by Amanda Knox against her three-year sentence for slandering Perugia former bar owner Patrick Lumumba after she initially fingered him for the Mereditch Kercher murder was upheld Friday by the supreme Court of Cassation, which ordered a retrial of the American former exchange student in Florence.
    Knox initially fingered Congo-born Lumumba for the November 1, 2007 murder in the Umbrian city of 21-year-old British exchange student and Knox's flatmate Meredith Kercher, a crime for which the American was first convicted with her Italian ex boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito and finally acquitted.
    Knox, 36, filed the appeal to definitively annul the sentence on the basis of a European Court of Human Rights ruling that her defence rights were violated during the initial investigation.
    Lumumba, who has since moved to Krakow in Poland with his wife and two children, filed to oppose the suit from Seattle-born and based Knox, who recently got pregnant with her second child.
    Former Ivorian drifter Rudy Guede recently completed a 16-year sentence for the murder of Leeds University student Kercher.
    Knox has always contended she was pressured, also physically, in a 24-hour grilling, into naming someone to blame for the murder, in a case which gained headlines worldwide.
