Amanda Knox Wins $54K Suit Over Book


I didn’t knew you lose a criminal case and then pick up some bucks on a civil suit. At least she has some dough if ever she gets out of jail.

Fox News reports:

Convicted killer Amanda Knox has won $54,154 in damages after suing the author of a book for invading her privacy and revealing details of her sex life, Sky News reported.

Knox, who was jailed over the murder of British student Meredith Kercher, launched the civil case in Milan last year while her murder trial was taking place in Perugia.

The book, Amanda And The Others, was serialized in an Italian newspaper and became an instant best-seller.

Leading crime journalist Fiorenza Sarzanini used excerpts of Knox's notebooks and diary in her book.

Knox's lawyer Carlo Dalla Vedova argued the publication of "Amanda's personal and private property" was an invasion of her privacy.
