At the time of her arrest, Knox was only 22 and was in Italy as part of an exchange program to study.She received a 26-year prison sentence for the brutal murder in 2009. Soon after the trial began, the arrest became a global issue, as many questioned it a fair trial was being conducted. During her trial, Amanda denied all accusations and claimed that she was at her boyfriend's house the night the killing occurred.However, in 2011, the two were acquitted by the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation after court-appointed experts testified about DNA evidence. Upon investigation, they found Knox and Sollecito to be innocent and released them.However, the case again opened in March 2013, when Italy’s highest court ordered that Knox and Sollecito be retried. In January 2014, the two were re-convicted in Kercher’s death.Knox was then sentenced to a 28-year jail time, while her ex-boyfriend was to be jailed for 25 years. However, upon several investigations, the two were fully exonerated in 2015.
