[FairfieldLife] Italy court clears Knox and Sollecito

[s3raph...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Italy's top appeals court has overturned the convictions of Amanda Knox and 
Raffaele Sollecito for the murder of UK student Meredith Kercher.
 The decision is the final ruling in the long-running case.
 The pair were found guilty in 2009, then freed in 2011 after the convictions 
were overturned. Their convictions were reinstated by another court last year.
 Ms Kercher was found dead in 2007 in a flat she shared with Ms Knox.
 The couple had always maintained their innocence and the decision by the Court 
of Cassation puts an end to their long legal battle.
 The reasoning behind the decision will be made public in 90 days.
 Ms Knox has said that she feels "tremendously relieved" after the verdict.
 "The knowledge of my innocence has given me strength in the darkest times of 
this ordeal," she said in a statement.
 Her family have said that they are "thrilled" with Friday's court decision.
 
 "We want to express our profound gratitude to all of those who have supported 
Amanda and our family," they said.
