Knox and her former boyfriend, Raffaelle Sollecito, were initially convicted in 2007 of Kercher’s slaying in the hilltop university town.

The sensational murder of the 21-year-old woman attracted global attention, especially after suspicion fell on Knox, and Sollecito. Kercher was found nude under a blanket, with her throat slit.

Their convictions were ultimately annulled by the country’s highest court in 2015 after a yearslong series of flip-flop higher-court decisions.  Judges in that final ruling cited flaws in the investigation and said there was a lack of evidence to prove their wrongdoing beyond a reasonable doubt, including a lack of “biological traces” connecting them to the crime.

Italy’s highest court did, however, confirm a conviction against Knox for falsely accusing a Congolese bar owner.

In January, Europe’s human rights court ordered Italy to pay Knox financial damages for police failure to provide legal assistance and a translator during a long night of questioning after Kercher’s slaying.

The European Human Rights Court in Strasbourg, France, said in its ruling that Italy hadn’t succeeded in proving that “the restriction of Ms. Knox’s access to a lawyer…had not irreparably undermined the fairness of the proceedings as a whole,” and ordered that Italy must pay Knox $20,000 in damages, costs and expenses.

The only person to have been convicted of Kercher’s murder is an Ivorian immigrant, who is now serving a 16-year sentence for the killing.
