Knox and Sollecito Found Guilty

Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito have been found guilty all charges except theft in the murder of Meredith Kercher, CNN reports. Knox has been sentenced to 26 years in prison and Sollecito has been sentenced to 25 years. In addition, Knox and Sollecito must together pay a fine of 5 million euros to the victim’s family, and Knox has been ordered to pay 40,000 euros to Patrick Diya Lumumba, whom she implicated in the murder early in the investigation.

Knox’s family, who had already purchased a return flight home for their daughter, left the courtroom in tears, telling the BBC “we will fight on.” Knox and Sollecito are both expected to appeal.
