The mother of the murdered British exchange student who shared an apartment with Amanda Knox said Saturday she is "very shocked" that Italy's highest court overturned convictions against Knox and her ex-boyfriend, NBC News reported. "They have been convicted twice, so it's a bit odd that it should change now," Arline Kercher told the Press Association. Meredith Kercher, 21, was sexually assaulted and stabbed to death in her Perugia, Italy, bedroom in 2007. Knox and her boyfriend at the time of the killing, Raffaele Sollecito, were convicted in 2009, acquitted in 2013, and then convicted again last year in a case that captivated the world with its legal twists and turns.
