The speculation about whether Knox was responsible for the death of her roommate Meredith Kercher rages on. Amanda Know was sentenced to 26 years in prison. Her Italian boyfriend at the time, Raffaele Sollecito, was sentenced to 25 years for murder. Knox's supporters say they hope her conviction may be overturned or her sentence reduced on appeal.
