What Cops Know
Amanda Knox On Trial Again

Amanda Knox, the American convicted in Italy of killing her British roommate, will go on trial in an Italian court for slander. The slander charge emanates from her accusation against police officials that she was beaten while under interrogation in the case.

Italian law precludes claims such as Knox made and implications are that her parents, who live in the U.S. and have echoed her charges to the international press, could also be charged if they set foot in Italy.
