Knox ‘like Jessica Rabbit; not bad, just drawn that way’
In closing arguments before an appeals court, lawyer Giulia Bongiorno compared Knox to the cartoon character from the 1998 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, contending she had been unfairly portrayed over the course of the media-hyped, four-year case. She said the 24-year-old American is a loving young woman who simply displayed immaturity and naivete at the time of the 2007 slaying.
Knox was convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering Meredith Kercher, a British student in Perugia, and sentenced to 26 years in prison. Co-defendant Raffaele Sollecito, an Italian who was Knox’s boyfriend at the time, was convicted of the same charges and sentenced to 25 years.
