Amanda Knox touched American soil for the first time in four years Tuesday, following her release from an Italian prison for the death of Meredith Kercher.
An appeals court acquitted the 24-year-old Monday of murdering her British roommate, who was killed during a drug-influenced sex game that went awry. A jury of six, along with two judges, overturned Knox’s 26-year jail sentence for the 2007 murder.
