Sunday, 12 December 2010


PERUGIA, Italy, Dec 11, 2010 (AFP): Amanda Knox, the American woman convicted of killing a British student in Italy, broke down in tears at her appeal Saturday as her lawyers questioned the DNA evidence in the case.
"I am unjustly convicted," an emotional Knox, reading in Italian from handwritten notes, told the court in the university town of Perugia in central Italy where she was living with Leeds University student Meredith Kercher. "I will never get used to this broken life," she said.
