Amanda Knox says she still loves Italy and would like to go back to Perugia.

Knox might get her chance as soon as September when she could be a defense witness for her parents, who are charged with slander of Perugia police.

One of Knox's attorneys tells the Italian wire service, ANSA News Agency, that she would like to return to the country as a tourist but if necessary, she will testify in her parents' trial.

Knox spent four years in prison on charges she killed her British roommate but her conviction was overturned in Oct. 2011. Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison and her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito got 25 years.

Since the acquittal, Knox has been seen around Seattle with guitarist James Terrano. The two reportedly live above a Chinese restaurant in city's International District.

Sollecito is reportedly planning to marry an Italian volleyball player, Annie Achille, according to the ANSA News Agency.

    Stay away from the corrupt Italians. Stay in West Seattle or wherever you live. Summer is coming, you will be glad you stayed home.

    She isn't "foxy." She reminds me of a special education student. Apparently young third world and guinea drug users found her attractive but that's about it. Gross. Go away.

    If stupid were a crime, she should be sentenced

    This has been a story where pretty much everybody involved is despicable and idiotic. Not sure why her parents need to go back to Italy to stand trial for slander, since I don't think the US would extradite for this.

    (Hey, Italy, we got rid of your Libya problem so let this one go.)

    Knox doing things she shouldn't be doing and placing herself in situations she should not be in is what got her in trouble in the first place. At a minimum she has horrible judgement; in all probability she is culpable in a murder.

    P.S. Meredith Kercher doesn't have the option of returning to Italy.

    That would seem to be a very poor decision.

    True killers and criminals are narcissistic and feel they are untouchable. 90 % of them always return to the scene of the crime to marvel at their work.

    for this insightful report. I'm glad that with all the other non-important "news" events, you brought this to our attention. I don't know what I would do had I not heard this.

    You apparently lack the ability to skip news stories that don't interest you.
