Amanda Knox’s defence lawyer urged Italy’s highest court today to overturn the American’s conviction in the 2007 murder of her British roommate, calling it a “grave judicial error”.

One of the jurors who overturned Amanda Knox’s murder conviction has said he was never convinced by the “conjecture” of the prosecution’s case and that he believed the US student and her co-defendant simply did not kill her British roommate.

AMANDA Knox insisted she was “not the monster of Perugia” in notes she wrote down in prison ahead of her successful appeal against her conviction for the murder of Meredith Kercher.

AN Italian appeal court has rejected a prosecution request for new DNA tests in the trial of Amanda Knox for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher, saying it would be unnecessary.
