Knox 'ready to fight' Italy retrial

A lawyer for Amanda Knox said the US college student was “ready to fight” after Italy’s top criminal court overturned her acquittal and ordered a retrial for the murder of her British room-mate Meredith Kercher.

“She thought that the nightmare was over,” Knox’s lawyer, Carlo Dalla Vedova, said, minutes after conveying the unexpected turn of events to his client, who had stayed up to hear the ruling, which came shortly after 2am US time yesterday. “But she’s ready to fight.”
