The Italian court that convicted Amanda Knox of Meredith Kercher’s murder has said the British student’s wounds indicate multiple aggressors, and that the two exchange students fought over money on the night of her death.
The appellate court in Florence issued a 337-page explanation for its January guilty verdicts against the American and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito.
The release of the court’s reasoning opens the verdict to an appeal back to the supreme Court of Cassation. If it confirms the convictions, a long extradition fight for Knox is expected.
She has been in the United States since 2011 when her earlier conviction was overturned.
Ms Kercher, 21, was found dead in a pool of blood in 2007 in the apartment she and Knox shared in the town of Perugia.
