PERUGIA, Italy (AP) — Amanda Knox can’t sleep or eat properly as she awaits to know if an appeals court in Italy will uphold or overturn her murder conviction, a friend of the jailed American student said Sunday.
A verdict is expected in early October, capping an appeals trial that began almost a year ago.
Knox was convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering Meredith Kercher, her British roommate in Perugia, and sentenced to 26 years. Knox’s boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito of Italy, was convicted of the same charges and sentenced to 25 years.
