ROME, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Italy's highest court on Thursday upheld the conviction of American Amanda Knox for slander in a case related to the murder of her British flatmate in 2007.
An appeals court in Florence last year handed Knox a three-year sentence for wrongly accusing Congolese bar owner Patrick Lumumba of killing Meredith Kercher in the city of Perugia.
