American student Amanda Knox was found guilty, then in a second trial not-guilty of the 2007 murder of Kercher. A third trial appealing the not-guilty verdict is now wrapping up in Florence.

Knox has told the media that she would like to be in touch with the Kercher family to tell them directly that she had nothing to do with their daughter’s death, whom she says she was a friend she loved.

The prosecution argued in previous trials that Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito killed Kercher in drug-fueled sex game. In the most recent trial, they argued that Knox killed Kercher after a dispute over a dirty toilet.

The verdict for Knox’s third trial is expected at the end of the month.
