AMANDA KNOX IS GETTING A FINAL SHOT AT CLEARING HER NAME COMPLETELY.

ITALY’S HIGHEST COURT IS CONSIDERING HER APPEAL OF A SLANDER CONVICTION – FOR FALSELY ACCUSING A BAR OWNER IN THE 2007 MURDER OF HER ROOMMATE.

KNOX –AN AMERICAN – AND HER ITALIAN EX-BOYFRIEND WERE CONVICTED THEN ACQUITTED OF MURDER OF 21-YEAR-OLD BRITISH STUDENT MEREDITH KERCHER.

BOTH WERE EXONERATED BY THE HIGHEST CASSATION COURT IN 20-15.

THE SLANDER CONVICTION IS THE LAST LEGAL STAIN ON KNOX’S RECORD.

THE CONVICTION SURVIVED MULTIPLE APPEALS BEFORE KNOX WAS RE-CONVICTED ON THE SLANDER CHARGE IN JUNE… AFTER A EUROPEAN COURT RULED ITALY HAD VIOLATED HER HUMAN RIGHTS – CLEARING THE WAY FOR A NEW TRIAL.

KNOX’S DEFENSE TEAM SAYS SHE ACCUSED THE BAR OWNER OF KERCHER’S MURDER DURING A LONG NIGHT OF QUESTIONING AND UNDER PRESSURE FROM POLICE – WHO THEY CLAIM FED KNOX FALSE INFORMATION.

THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS FOUND POLICE *HAD* DEPRIVED HER OF A LAWYER AND PROVIDED A TRANSLATOR – WHO ACTED MORE AS A MEDIATOR.

EVEN IF ITALY’S HIGH COURT UPHOLDS THE CONVICTION AND THE THREE-YEAR SENTENCE THAT COME WITH IT –  KNOX WON’T FACE ANY MORE JAIL TIME.

SHE ALREADY SERVED NEARLY FOUR YEARS DURING THE INVESTIGATION, INITIAL MURDER TRIAL AND FIRST APPEAL.

KNOX SAID IN HER PODCAST SHE ULTIMATELY JUST WANTS TO CLEAR HER NAME OF ALL CRIMINAL WRONGDOING.
