On November 1, 2007, Meredith Kercher, a British University exchange student, was found dead in her apartment in Italy. Since then Amanda Knox and her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito have been convicted, imprisoned, and then released on appeal, before being found guilty again.

Police in the region believe that Amanda Knox, Raffaele Sollecito and Rudy Guede were all guilty of murdering Meredith and staged a break in to mislead the investigation. They were all convicted, but Knox and Sollecito were acquitted four years later due to controversy surrounding material evidence when the case was reviewed on appeal.

However, on January 30, 2014, Knox and Sollecito were again found guilty by Italy's Supreme Court, but they again intend to appeal. They believe that they are being framed for a murder which they did not commit.

Recently Sollecito's defense team has changed its strategy somewhat, and are now focusing on distancing him from Knox.

"In the appeal we've written a sizable chapter on the difference in positions between Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito - they're not Siamese twins," Giulia Bongiorno, one of Sollecito's lawyers, told reporters at a news conference in Rome.

"I'm just asking what I have to do with anything. If you accept this version where I am not responsible, then you have to explain what my position is."

"I have to deal with my conviction, and I am merely acknowledging what the sentence says," he said.

"I'm just an innocent person that has been shouting his innocence for seven years, an injustice that's gone on too long," he said.
