"the presentation that was full of color with stories of sex, drugs, and fights, can't be proven."but the defense did not sway the court.both knox and sollecito were found guilty. knox was sentenced to 26 years in jail.sollecito was given 25 years."i believe this court didn't have the courage to say not guilty."the appeal process began in november 2010. knox's family never gave up hope that she would be released, doing whatever it took to keep her defense going.
