Life requested for U.S. suspect in Italy murder case PERUGIA, Italy -- Prosecutors requested life sentences Saturday for an American student and her former Italian boyfriend accused of killing a young British woman in Italy. Prosecutor Giuliano Mignini asked a jury in Perugia to convict Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito on charges of murder and sexual violence for their alleged role in the 2007 slaying of Meredith Kercher. They deny wrongdoing. Knox, who is from Seattle, took a deep breath when Mignini made his request. Life in prison is Italy's stiffest punishment. |
