"Amanda Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were both acquitted, Monday, of killing British exchange student Meredith Kercher four years ago. The two were immediately released and Knox took the first flight from Italy back to her home in Seattle, WA. Four years ago, Kercher&amp;#039;s body was found after she had been brutally murdered in the apartment she shared with Knox while the two women were studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, reports CNN.com. Since then, Knox has been fighting for her life after she was convicted of the crime and sentenced to 26 years in prison with Sollecito and another man. I personally think both the motive and the evidence of the original case were flimsy and that Knox was on trial more for the bad behavior of American students studying abroad than for the crime itself. I am happy to see her free but saddened for Kercher&amp;#039;s family who still do not know what happened to the beloved daughter they lost on that tragic night.
