Amanda Knox Faces New Legal Setback with Slander Conviction in Italy

The court's decision reaffirms her guilt in falsely accusing an innocent man during the 2007 murder investigation of her roommate Meredith Kercher.

Knox's slander conviction stems from a coerced false accusation against her former boss, Patrick Lumumba.
Despite her exoneration in the murder case, Knox's legal battles continue nearly two decades later.
Knox will not serve additional prison time as her sentence counts as time served.
Her legal team plans to appeal the latest conviction to Italy's highest court.
Knox remains an advocate for criminal justice reform and wrongful conviction awareness.
