Since that fateful day on November 2, 2007, when the body of their sister and daughter was discovered, Meredith Kercher’s family has wanted nothing but justice for her. With the tumultuous journey of having three people found guilty of her murder, it seemed like the end. When Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito were finally acquitted for good in 2015, they were left shattered once again.

“The family is in shock after the verdict,” Francesco Maresca, the Kercher family lawyer, told the press. “They don’t wish to make any other declarations. I’ve had to explain to them there are now no avenues open to them. There is a great sense of bitterness.”
