Meanwhile, the victim’s mother, Arline Kercher, reacted with shock.
Her daughter had been found partially nude, sexually assaulted and stabbed to death in her bedroom in the Perugia cottage she shared with Knox back in November 2007.
“They have been convicted twice, so it’s a bit odd that it should change now,” the mother said.
Knox had repeatedly insisted that she was innocent in the roomie’s brutal death.

Within weeks, another man, Rudy Guede, was linked to the bloody crime scene by DNA. Guede is serving a 16-year sentence for the death.
Other DNA evidence — now discredited — linked Knox and her boyfriend to a kitchen knife found in the boyfriend’s apartment, where both insisted they spent the night of the murder having sex and smoking marijuana.
