Amanda Knox update

The second appeal trial of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito gets underway today in Florence, Italy. The American student and her former Italian boyfriend find they are once again defending themselves against the charge that they murdered Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy in November 2007.

Both Knox and Sollecito were acquitted of the same murder charges in October 2010 by an Italian appellate court in Perugia. But then this March, the Italian Supreme Court overturned the acquittals and directed that a new appeal trial to be held in Florence, because Perugia did not have sufficient appellate court space.

Italian law does not require either defendant attend the new trial. AmandaKnox, now 25 years-old and a student at the University of Washington, will not travel to Italy for any of the proceedings. Raffaele Sollecito also won't be in Florence when the trial starts, but has told the press that he will be in the courtroom as the trial nears a verdict.

According to the Italian Supreme Court's decision, there is one piece of evidence in the case that is yet to be tested - and could be the key to the final verdict. It is labeled number 36-I.
