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. Knox had previously served four years in an Italian prison for the murder of Kercher before being acquitted in 2015. The reconviction for slander adds another legal complication for Knox, who has maintained her innocence in the case.

Amanda Knox is set to appear in an Italian court this week to face a 16-year-old slander charge. This charge stems from her accusation against a bar owner in the murder of Meredith Kercher. Despite being acquitted of the murder charges, the slander conviction is the only one that has remained against Knox. She will now have to address this legal matter in court once again.
