Amanda Knox Trial:Knox criticized verdict
The 21- year-old Kercher was half naked in 2007 and with numerous stab wounds found in their shared flat in Perugia. The judge in Florence are convinced that the Ivorian Rudy Hermann Guede is the third murderer. He was convicted in a separate process legally to 16 years in prison .
Knox and Sollecito deny the fact . They had been sentenced in 2010 to 26 and 25 years in prison. However, an appeals court acquitted in 2011 after four years in prison.
