PERUGIA, Italy (AP) — Witnesses say Amanda Knox has left the prison after her 2009 conviction for killing her British roommate was thrown out on appeal.
Italian lawmaker Rocco Girlanda, who has spearheaded Knox’s case and is close to the American, says she and her family will leave Italy on Tuesday aboard a commercial flight from Rome.
A convoy of cars was seen leaving Perugia’s Campanne prison about 90 minutes after the verdict was handed down, and witnesses reported seeing Knox in one of the cars.
