Amanda Knox, who's now 25, became a household name in 2007 after she was accused of murdering her study-abroad roommate in Italy as part of a bizarre sex game.
An Italian appeals court ruled the DNA evidence was "flawed" and overturned her conviction in 2011. But last week the bizarre Italian court system struck down her acquittal and ordered that she be re-tried— meaning that she could be found guilty again.
Amanda Knox's story begins in 2007 with her decision to study abroad in Perugia, a quiet Italian city just north of Rome famous for its university and its chocolate festival.
Knox was studying Italian and creative writing at the University of Washington. Her parents and friends described her as friendly and book-smart, Rolling Stone reported.
Knox, who was then 20 years old, rented this house with three roommates, including British student Meredith Kercher.
