Amanda Knox and her co-defendant Raffaele Sollecito have been freed by an appeals jury. The jury overturned the murder convictions for both in the killing of her roommate, Meredith Kercher, four years ago.
Knox and Sollecito were led from the courtroom back to the jail to get their belongings and to be processed and released. Reports say that she will return to the United States immediately… possibly by private jet.
After deliberating for a day and a half the jury of 7 women and 5 men has found Casey Anthony not guilty of the murder of her 2 year old child Caylee Anthony.
Casey Anthony – Not Guilty Verdict
The final verdict was as follows:
Providing False Information to a Law Enforcement Officer is a 1st degree misdemeanor punishable by 1 year in jail. See Florida Statutes §837.055. Sentencing is set for Thursday at 9 am. Casey Anthony will likely receive credit for the time she has served and be released from custody. She has already served 3 years pending her trial.
