Italian court sets September retrial date for Amanda Knox

An Italian appeals court has set September 30 as the start date for the retrial of American student Amanda Knox in the 2007 death of her British roommate Meredith Kercher.

In March, Italy’s highest court overturned Knox’s acquittal, faulting the lower court for “deficiencies, contradictions and illogical” conclusions in freeing Knox and her former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito.
