Amanda Knox has returned to Italy for the first time since she was imprisoned and later acquitted in the murder of her British roommate.
"The Italy Innocence Project didn't yet exist when I was wrongly convicted in Perugia," Knox said on Twitter last month.
"I'm honored to accept their invitation to speak to the Italian people at this historic event and return to Italy for the first time."Knox and Raffaele Sollecito, her then-boyfriend, were convicted in the killing Meredith Kercher, a British student and Knox's roommate, in 2007. After a retrial and a series of controversies, Italy's highest court annulled Knox's convictions in 2015.
