• Knox's former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito also convicted


American student Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend have been found guilty of murdering her flatmate Meredith Kercher after an 11-month trial in the Italian city of Perugia.

Knox, 22, and 25-year-old Raffaele Sollecito were in the dock to hear the jurors deliver their verdict.

Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison and Sollecito 25. The pair are expected to appeal against the decision.

Knox bowed her head and burst into tears as the verdict was read out.

1. I'm so conflicted about this case.

I haven't studied the evidence as much as I would like, though, so I think I should refrain from posting more until I have.

2. The murder weapon was found in her boyfriend's closet in a

box. He said it was used for cooking. Who keeps their knives, used for cooking in a box in their clothes closet?

Apparently, the knife had the victim's DNA on the tip of the blade and Amanda Knox's DNA on the handle.

I need to know more of the facts of this. I'm sure there will plenty of books written.
