Knox drama nears finale in Italy's high court Italy's top court consider whether to definitively convict Amanda Knox for murder in what could be the final act of an eight-year legal page-turner dripping with blood, sex and intrigue. The American and her Italian ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were convicted last year for a second time of taking part in the brutal 2007 killing of Meredith Kercher, a British student with whom the then 20-year-old Knox shared a house in the university town of Perugia. Sollecitos lawyer claims the verdict "absolutely can't be confirmed" and says it needs to be "cancelled". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
