An Italian court has reconvicted Amanda Knox of slander, the last remaining conviction stemming from the murder case of her roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007.

Knox was cleared of Kercher’s murder by the Italian supreme court in 2015. She had been convicted in 2009 of slander for falsely accusing Congolese bar owner Patrick Lumumba of murdering Kercher, and that conviction was upheld Wednesday by an appellate court in Florence.
