Amanda Knox freed: cleared of murder of Meredith Kercher
Amanda Knox has been dramatically acquitted of the murder of Meredith Kercher, despite a last-ditch appeal from the British student?s family to uphold the conviction.
A jury in Perugia, where the murder took place four years ago, overturned Knox's 26-year jail sentence for the sexual assault and murder of the Leeds University student.
She will walk free from Capanne prison, outside Perugia, after serving four years for a crime that the appeal court ruled she did not commit.
Her Italian former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito also had his murder conviction quashed.
Hundreds of people gathered in the streets outside the court shouted "shame" when they heard about the decision.
Knox was told she must pay 22,000 Euros in compensation to Diya "Patrick" Lumumba, a barman she falsely accused of the murder.
Knox?s family, who had always believed in her innocence, were ecstatic. They said they were "thankful that Amanda's nightmare is over".

Every media outlet I've read, U.S., UK, all say acquitted. I'm too lazy to look for court records/transcripts, but if every media outlet is saying the same thing, well...
