Amanda Knox Hearing Begins Today

A hearing began today in Perugia, Italy, in the case of former University of Washington student Amanda Knox. Knox, her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, and Rudy Hermann Guede are accused of killing Knox's roommate Meredith Kercher last November. The hearing is being held to determine whether Knox, Sollecito, and Guede will stand trial. Prosecutors want to charge the three with Kercher's death, sexual violence, and theft. Knox, Sollecito, and Guede all deny involvement in Kercher's slaying. While the courtroom is closed for the proceedings, we know that Knox, Guede, and Kercher's family are all present. The presiding judge is expected to rule on the indictment in several weeks.
