ROME (Reuters) -Italy's highest court on Thursday upheld the conviction of American Amanda Knox for slander in a case related to the murder of her British flatmate in 2007, the final act in a legal drama lasting almost two decades.
An appeals court in Florence had last year handed Knox a three-year sentence for wrongly accusing Congolese bar owner Patrick Lumumba of killing Meredith Kercher in the city of Perugia.
