Knox to take murder case to the Italian supreme court

Amanda Knox has said that she will take the case to Italy's Supreme Court to appeal a court decision to reinstate her conviction, for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher.

If the court confirms the conviction, a long extradition fight is expected for Knox, who is now living back in America.
