Italy SC extends Knox drama to Friday

Italy's top court has put back a ruling on Amanda Knox's murder conviction to Friday, delaying what could be the final act of an eight-year legal drama that has captivated a global audience. The court met yesterday to examine the verdict that found Knox and her ex-lover Raffaele Sollecito guilty of killing British student Meredith Kercher in a case rich with sub-texts of drugs, alleged sexual debauchery and police bungling. Judges will either uphold one or both of the murder convictions, or send the entire case back to the appeal stage -- which could eventually see the pair acquitted.
