Amanda Knox, convicted for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher, asserted that she was assaulted by police during her 2007 interrogation regarding the crime.
In Perugia, Italy, she has faced a slander charge during a hearing conducted privately.
Knox’s attorney informed the judge that her intentions were not to slander anyone but to defend herself instead.
She is currently serving a life sentence of 26 years.
