It is understood Knox will go back to Italy to write a book about the countrys legal system . Knox and Sollecito were pictured embracing as police searched the house immediately after Kerchers death . Her daughter, who was 21 and from Coulsdon, Surrey, was sexually assaulted and stabbed to death in her bedroom in 2007 while studying in Perugia, Italy. Miss Knox told reporters outside her family home in Seattle on the day of the verdict that she was full of joy. Right now Im still absorbing what all this means and what comes to mind is my gratitude for the life thats been given to me, she said. Seattle-born Miss Knox, 27, who was Ms Kerchers flat-mate, and Mr Sollecito, spent four years in jail for the murder but were acquitted on appeal in 2011. But Italys highest court on Friday overturned last years convictions and declined to order another trial. The decision by the Supreme Court of Cassation is the final ruling in the seven-year case and definitively ends the gruelling legal battle. The pair always maintained their innocence. Both Sollecito and Knox were imprisoned shortly after Kerchers body was discovered with 47 separate wounds on November 1, 2007. They were originally convicted of murder and sexual assault in December 2009 and sentenced to 26 and 25 years in jail respectively. After they served four years in prison a court in Perugia threw out their convictions and declared them innocent. Knox returned to the US before another U-turn in the sensational case in January last year when a court in Florence reinstated the original 2009 conviction and increased Knoxs sentence to 28-and-a-half years. Judge Gennaro Marasca read the decision to finally acquit the pair on Friday after a judicial body had deliberated for ten hours. It was met with stunned silence. Rudy Guede is now the only person to be successfully convicted of the murder. The unemployed basketball player was found guilty in October 2008 and was convicted to 16 years after his footprints were discovered in Kerchers blood. The court will publish its reasons for Fridays decision within 90 days.
