ECHR rules for Amanda Knox

FINAL JUSTICE FOR AMANDA KNOX

Yesterday the European Court of Human Rights ruled in favor of Amanda Knox and ordered Italy to pay her 18,000 EURO. Three of the four years she spent in an Italian prison were for her false accusation against Patrick Lumumba. The ECHR ruled that the interrogation which produced that accusation was a violation of her human rights.

While the ECHR cannot overturn her conviction for the offense, Knox can request a revisionist trial in Italy with the evidence obtained by the interrogation omitted; essentially, without the documents she signed as result of an illegal and unrecorded interrogation, the revisionist court would have no choice but to acquit her.

She was acquitted of the murder of roommate Meredith Kercher in 2015, so this is the final step toward total vindication.

From the ECHR press release --

Italy: European court awards €18,000 to Amanda Knox after human rights complaint

Human rights judges in Strasbourg have backed American Amanda Knox in her human rights battle against Italy.

Under Article 41 (just satisfaction), the European Court held that Italy was to pay Knox 10,400 euros (EUR) in respect of non-pecuniary damage and EUR 8,000 for costs and expenses.

Today’s European Court of Human Rights judgment concerned the proceedings which lead to the conviction of Amanda Knox for malicious accusation.
