Knox's lawyer: Amanda 'was crying, because of happiness'

One of Amanda Knox's defence lawyers, Carlo Dalla Vedova has told the press she is very happy and has been crying with happiness.

Italy's highest court acquitted the American student and her Italian former boyfriend Rafael Sollecito, of murdering the British student Meredith Kercher eight years ago in the Italian town of Perugia.

Lawyers for the pair had argued that the prosecution had made colossal errors.
