Amanda Knox, the 23-year old Seattle woman who is charged for the murder of her roommate British Meredith Kercher in Italy back in 2007 is now being charged with slander for claiming she was beaten by Police when questioned about the murder.
According to The News Tribune:
The 23-year-old Seattle woman maintains she was just trying to defend herself and never meant to offend or slander anybody, her lawyers said.Knox had claimed she was beaten and put under pressure by police during questioning over the slaying of Meredith Kercher three years ago. She said police repeatedly called her a “stupid liar.”Police denied misconduct and filed charges saying Knox’s comments were slanderous.Judge Claudia Matteini issued the indictment ruling after a hearing behind closed-doors in Perugia at which Knox spoke. The judge scheduled the trial to begin May 17. If she is convicted, any prison sentence Knox received would be added to her current sentence.
