Karcher, who shared a house with Amanda Knox in Perugia, Italy, is found dead.

Knox and two others are charged with the murder of Karcher. She previously alleged that she was pressured to admit to the murder of Karcher by Italian police.
-
Knox and another defendant, Raffaele Sollecito (pictured), are indicted on murder charges. A third defendant, Rudy Guede, is found guilty of murder in a fast-track trial and is sentenced to 30 years in prison.
-
During testimony, Knox claims that she was called a liar by Italian interrogators and that one even hit her in the head during questioning.
-
Knox and Sollecito are found guilty of murdering Kercher. She receives a 26-year prison sentence.
-
Knox and Sollecito begin their appeal of their convictions. About a month later, she breaks down in tears while telling the court that they've made a big mistake.
-
An Italian court orders two scientists to go over DNA evidence from the house Knox and Kercher shared that was taken from the scene shortly after the murder.
-
Forensic experts tell the court that DNA evidence used to convict Knox and tie her to the murder was unsound. Both sides dispute various parts of the argument.
-
Prosecutor Manuela Comodi calls the forensic review "embarrassing" and requests the court extend Knox's sentence to life in prison.
-
A final verdict in the Amanda Knox case is expected.
