AN ITALIAN COURT that convicted Amanda Knox in her roommate’s 2007 murder says the wounds indicate multiple aggressors, and that the two exchange students fought over money the night of the murder.

The appellate court in Florence on Tuesday issued a 337-page explanation for its January guilty verdicts against the American and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito.

The court sentenced Knox to 28 years and six months in prison and Sollecito to 25 years for the murder of Meredith Kercher, over two years after Knox was released from prison.

She and Sollecito had served four years in prison.

Their convictions were overturned in October 2011, but the Italian criminal justice system does not preclude double jeopardy.

The release of the court’s reasoning opens the verdict to an appeal back to the supreme Court of Cassation.

If it confirms the convictions, a long extradition fight for Knox is expected.

She has been in the United States since 2011 when her earlier conviction was overturned.

British student Meredith Kercher, 21, was found dead in a pool of blood in the apartment she and Knox shared in the town of Perugia.
