Amanda Knox First Press Conference Is An Emotional One (Video)

by | 5th, October 2011

AMANDA Knox is back on US soil for the first time in more than four years, and moments after stepping off a plane last night in Seattle, the woman who did not kill Meredith Kercher spoke to reporters about her overturned murder conviction in Italy.

She said:

“I’m really overwhelmed right now. I was looking down from the airplane and it was like nothing was real.”

“What’s important for me to say is just thank you to everyone who’s believed in me, who’s defended me, who’s supported my family.”

Knox and former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were both acquitted of the 2007 murder of British exchange student Meredith Kercher, which of course, has left Kercher’s family wanting answers.

Prosecutors in Italy say they plan to appeal her acquittal, but the chances of extradition from the US to Italy are incredibly slim.
