http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2015/mar/27/amanda-knox-murder-trial-italy-court-decision-live-updatesKnox: 'tremendously relieved and grateful'
Amanda Knox has released a statement through her lawyer on the decision:
I am tremendously relieved and grateful for the decision of the Supreme Court of Italy. The knowledge of my innocence has given me strength in the darkest times of this ordeal.
And throughout this ordeal, I have received invaluable support from family, friends, and strangers. To them, I say: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness has sustained me. I only wish that I could thank each and every one of you in person.
In a separate statement, her family said:
We want to express our profound gratitude to all of those who have supported Amanda and our family. Countless people from world-renowned DNA experts, to former FBI agents, to everyday citizens committed to justice have spoken about her innocence.
We are thrilled with and grateful for todays decision from the Supreme Court of Italy. And we are grateful beyond measure for all that so many of you have done for her.
