Killer to testify at Knox appeal
American student Amanda Knox’s appeals trial resumes tomorrow with testimony from an Ivorian man also convicted in the slaying of Knox’s roommate in Perugia.
Rudy Hermann Guede is serving a 16-year-prison sentence for the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, a British student who was stabbed to death in the apartment she shared with Knox.
Knox and her co-defendant, Raffaele Sollecito, are appealing against their murder convictions.
Guede, who sought a fast-track procedure, was tried separately and has already exhausted all levels of appeals, with Italy’s top criminal court upholding his conviction.
He will testify for the prosecution before the appeals court at the opening of Monday’s hearing, lawyers say.
