Lawyers for Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, the American woman and the Italian man convicted of the murder of Meredith Kercher, could fight for five more years to try to clear their names. They believe an appeal based on “the lack of a plausible motive” and other weaknesses in the prosecution case will lead to an acquittal.
The first of two appeals will be held in Perugia, probably next autumn. If it fails, a second appeal will be made to the Court of Cassation (Supreme Court) in Rome. The process could take five years, lawyers said. “We have lost a battle but not the war,” said Luca Maori, one of the lawyers for Sollecito. “For the serious crimes they are claimed to have committed you either sentence them to life or you acquit them. There is no middle way.”
This is going to be a long road for Miss Knox . If she truely didn’t comit this horrific crime, God will be with her and will get her through this and clear her name.
