No house arrest for Amanda Knox
An Italian judge ruled today that Knox, the former UW student held in Italy for the murder of her roommate, will continue to be held in Italian jail instead of being relegated to house arrest:
Luciano Ghirga, a lawyer for Knox, said Saturday that he had sought to have her placed under house arrest. But the judge in Perugia rejected the request, Ghirga said, without elaborating.
Knox was arrested Nov. 6 and the courts have ruled that she may be held without being charged for up to a year. Just another non-development in this case.
