Knox was sentenced to 28 years in jail.

As The ENQUIRER previously reported the sentence was overturned two years earlier.
Knoxy’s ex-BF Raffaele Sollecito was also found guilty again by the jury
.
Prosecutor Alessandro Crini previously said that if Knox was found guilty again they would try and extradite her from the U.S.
UPDATE: Amanda Knox released a statement about the guilty verdict, expressing her shock at the jury’s decision. “I am frightened and saddened by this unjust verdict. Having been found innocent before, I expected better from the Italian justice system,” she said.
