The woman is seeking $170 million in damages for defamation, negligence, and privacy violations.

Amanda Knox has been reconvicted for slander in connection to the murder of Meredith Kercher by a court in Florence. The court found Knox guilty of making false statements that implicated bar owner Diya "Patrick" Lumumba in the murder.

The reconviction for slander adds another legal complication for Knox, who has maintained her innocence in the case.
