Amanda was found guilty of murder in Italy’s highest court on Jan. 30, after having been convicted of the same crime in 2009. Of course, the case never would have been retried in the United States due to our country’s double jeopardy laws — which could ultimately prevent Amanda from ending up behind bars, a source tells HollywoodLife.com Exclusively.
Amanda Knox has been convicted, once again, of the 2007 murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy. But the U.S.’s double jeopardy laws, which dictate that a person can’t be tried twice for the same crime, could be Amanda’s saving grace, an attorney tells HollywoodLife.com Exclusively.

Even though Kim Kardashian’s life was threatened when a young man allegedly screamed ‘I will kill you!’ at her on Jan. 13, Kanye may be the one facing ‘additional charges’ for allegedly punching the teen. And unfortunately Kanye’s ‘self-defense’ defense might not hold up in court, L.A. attorney Mychal Wilson explains to HollywoodLife.com Exclusively.
Kanye West may have had a right to come to Kim Kardashian‘s defense after an 18-year-old man allegedly threatened her life at a Beverly Hills, Calif. medical building. The only problem is, Kanye arrived to the scene after the man allegedly unloaded a slew of racial slurs on Kim, which means Yeezy’s alleged punch was not thrown “in the heat of the moment,” Mychal Wilson tells HollywoodLife.com Exclusively.
