She endured four years in an Italian prison, before her
conviction for a brutal sex murder was sensationally overturned.
But Amanda Knox still ‘loves Italy’ and would like to return
to the Italian hilltop town of Perugia, where she was studying before she was jailed in 2007, as a tourist, her lawyer said today.
In fact the 24-year-old may return to Italy as
soon as September, as a witness in a trial of her parents for slander.

Abiding passion: Amanda Knox still loves Italy despite the four years she spent in jail in Perugia there
Knox and her boyfriend at the time Raffaele Sollecito served
four years of 26 and 25 year sentences respectively after being convicted of murdering Knox’s
British flatmate Meredith Kercher.
Kercher was found semi-naked and with her
throat cut in the bedroom of the house she shared with Knox in Perugia, where both were studying.
In a separate trial, a third person, Rudy Guede, was also convicted of the
murder
Knox and Sollecito were dramatically acquitted last year on
appeal and Knox has been living quietly in her home town of Seattle ever since. Friends say she is ‘less smiley’ than before.
Carlo Dalla Vedova, one of Knox’s lawyers, said his client ‘loves Italy and likes Perugia’ and that she would happily return to
the country as a tourist.
But if needed she is prepared to return as a defence witness
in the trials against her parents, Italian wire service Ansa reported.
Knox’s father and mother, Curt Knox and Edda Mellas, are charged with slandering the Perugia police,
following a 2009 interview with the Sunday Times of London.
Dalla Vedova told ABC News, ‘I hope they will be
acquitted. They certainly didn’t make any defamatory remarks when they repeated
Amanda’s statement to the press.’
Curt Knox told the paper, ‘Amanda was abused physically
and verbally. She told us she was hit in the back of the head by a police
officer with an open hand, at least twice. The police told her, ‘If you ask for
a lawyer, things will get worse for you’ and ‘If you don’t give us some
explanation for what happened, you’re going to go to jail for a very long
time.’
Edda Mellas told the Sunday Times her daughter
was told she would never see her family again.Knox will probably be the only witness for the defence.
At a preliminary hearing today. Judge Giuseppe Noviello refused
the request of the Knoxs’ lawyers to have the trial, which will begin on March
30, moved from Perugia.
Medieval idyll: Knox would like to return to the Italian hilltop town of Perugia, where she was studying before she was jailed in 2007, as a tourist
Daughter’s duty: Knox who was on trial for a year in the Italian legal system, may return to the country as soon as September, as a witness in a trial of her parents for slander
Knox has also been charged with slandering the police, after
testifying that officers shouted at her, deprived of her a lawyer and smacked
her on the back of the head more than once in the midst of a gruelling and lengthy
interrogation.
At the time of her acquittal, the court upheld a conviction for slandering bar owner Patrick
Lumumba whom she accused of being involved in the murder.
Knox was sentenced to three years in prison, which she had
already served, and was ordered to pay compensation to Lumumba, as well as a substantial
fine
She has until February 16 to appeal her slander conviction.

Amanda, please stay away from Italy.

After what happened to Amanda Knox, I am determined never to set foot in Italy.

The problem is that we do not want u, so you can stay in US and do not bother to come back.

Rest in peace dear Meredith, you left this earth too soon and your life taken away by heathens.

How’s your conscience, Knoxy ?

I still don’t understand how the State Department hasn’t put out a travel advisory for this country. Three years in prison for being abused by the police? Slander charges for describing your abuse by the police? Amanda Knox is free to travel there if she wants — I’ll stick to countries with real justice systems, rather than the kangaroo one they have.

Mary from Atlanta: In what universe do you think Amanda Knox is writing these stories about herself? The Daily Mail writes about her — and they do it because you read about her. Don’t want to read about her? Well, it’s really not that hard…

this is not good, amanda is not a credible witness after Lumumba finger pointing and changing her story several times. Whether she was abused/deprived or not, that upholding will stand and wipe out all credibility she could bring to her paqrents trial. I hope someone advises her to stay home and get on with her life. Only God and her knows what if anything happened inr relation to Merediths death, i would not give Italy a chance to have another go either way.

Why would her parents even return there? To the same city? I doubt the USA would extradite its citizens over a slander charge. Anyone know what the extradition treaty is?

Well, she doesn’t ask the DM to keep running stories about her, I’m sure. But anyway, like Amanda Knox or hate her, there’s no such offense as “slandering the police” in the USA, and I’m glad of that; it’s one of the freedoms that still hasn’t been taken away from us yet. I very much doubt this offense exists in England, the mother country, either.
