We agree! We don't really see Amanda Knox going back to Italy, even with an extradition order.
Amanda was acquitted of the 2007 stabbing murder in October 2011 and just recently started having a normal life again in Seattle — she was moving on and even got a new boyfriend. It's so strange that this is surfacing yet again, but on the other hand our legal system here works differently than the one in Italy. It might not make sense to us like it does to them or something!

It looks like Amanda might have an extra chapter to add to her book, as the Italian high court has ordered a retrial on her case.
As a reminder, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito have been accused of murdering Meredith Kercher while studying abroad in Italy and have already served 4 years in prison.
The two were eventually acquitted and released in 2011 and it looked like the nightmare was finally over. But now the case has been reopened and it’s not exactly clear why.
Amanda was upset to hear the news from her home in Seattle, and released the following statement, saying:

WOW.
To recap - Amanda Knox and her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito served four years in an Italian prison after being sentenced for the murder of Amanda's roommate Meredith Kercher.
Back in December, an Italian appeals court made the disturbing announcement that Amanda and Raffaele's murder convictions had been overturned because there was never "any reliable evidence" to link the two to the murder.
Then yesterday,

We pretty much assumed this would happen sooner or later.

Given the fact that Amanda spent four years of her life in jail, this is VERY disturbing news.
As a reminder, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito served four years in an Italian prison after being sentenced for the murder of Amanda's roommate Meredith Kercher.
Yesterday, an Italian appeals court released an explanation of why Amanda and Raffaele's murder convictions were overturned…and it's because there was never "any reliable evidence" linking the two to Meredith's murder. Wow.
The report released by Judge Claudio Pratillo Hellman states that Amanda's roommate was "killed by a 'lone assassin.'"
Here's more about the original verdict from the judge's newly released report:

Technically, yes.
We all knew it was only a matter of time before Amanda Knox agreed to tell her story, but now it is confirmed as she is one step closer to getting her ordeal in bookstores around the world.
Amanda has just signed a deal with Robert Barnett, one of the most powerful literary agents and lawyers around. To give an idea of who we are dealing with this, this is just a sampling of his current client list:

Now that four years in prison are behind them, perhaps its time to rethink their relationship.
Several weeks ago, Amanda Knox's international murder trial nightmare came to an end when she was aquitted of all charges in the killing of Meredith Kercher in 2007. Her then boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, was also allowed to walk free and he is finally breaking his silence about his relationship with Amanda..
While Amanda took the first flight back to Seattle, Raffaele remains in his native Italy, using his freedom to reflect on the last four grueling years of his life. He confesses that while they've broken up, Raffaele still has plans to stay in touch with Amanda and even go and visit her before the year is up. He explains:
