FLORENCE, Italy — An Italian court re-convicted Amanda Knox of slander on Wednesday, even after she was exonerated in the brutal 2007 murder of her British roommate while the two were exchange students in Italy.

The court found that Knox had wrongly accused an innocent man, the Congolese owner of the bar where she worked part time, of the killing. But she will not serve any more jail time, given the three-year sentence counts as time already served.

Knox showed no visible emotion as the verdict was read aloud.

Earlier Wednesday, in a soft and sometimes breaking voice, Knox asked eight Italian judges and jury members to clear her of a slander charge that stuck even after she was exonerated in the brutal 2007 murder of her British roommate while the two were exchange students in Italy.

1. As I told the salesweasel from Perillo Tours

I don’t like the Italian legal system and the Kafkaesque nightmare that Amanda is still enduring. I’ll think again about visiting when/if her name is finally cleared. Doesn’t look like salesweasel will have much to discuss with me for quite awhile.

2. It's sad she is STILL dealing with such a schizophrenic legal system. Yes/No/maybe come back later?
