Jury Deliberations to Begin Soon on Amanda Knox Case
The trial of Amanda Knox and former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito is nearing its end in the Italian courts, with day one of closing arguments wrapping up yesterday. The trial, which began in January, will hopefully conclude with a ruling on the November 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, with prosecutors asserting that Kercher died as a result of a sexual assault initiated by Knox, Sollecito, and acquaintance Rudy Guede. Jury deliberations expect to begin tomorrow. If found guilty, Knox and Sollecito may be looking at life in an Italian prison cell (Italy has no death penalty). Stay tuned.
