Knox proclaims innocence in letter to Italian court

Amanda Knox has declared her innocence over the 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher in an email to the Italian court hearing the case against her, and said she was staying away from the trial out of fear of being wrongly convicted.

The American wrote in the letter submitted to the appeal court in Florence by her lawyers before their closing arguments: “I didn’t kill Meredith.”
