Amanda Knox, twice acquitted of murdering her roommate while studying abroad in Italy, and whose story riveted Washingtonians for years, now faces a defamation suit there although she's not expected to attend the proceedings. Knox and her then-boyfriend were convicted of murdering Meredith Kercher in 2007. That conviction was later overturned only for her to be re-convicted in 2013. That conviction was tossed out by the Italian Supreme Court. Now she's being sued by a bar owner she accused of the crime. Knox says that the statements she made to police about Patrick Lumumba were made under stress, shock and extreme exhaustion.
