Italy trial for UW student delayed to January

The Italian trial of University of Washington student Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend has been delayed until Jan. 16. It had been scheduled to start Dec. 4.

ROME —

The Italian trial of University of Washington student Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend has been delayed until Jan. 16. It had been scheduled to start Dec. 4.

Lawyers said Tuesday that a judge in Perugia ordered the delay to give court officials more time to put together the documentation.

The Seattle woman and the man, Raffaele Sollecito, are a accused of killing her housemate, British student Meredith Kercher, in November 2007 in a sexual assault.

The two deny wrongdoing.

Last month, a judge convicted another man, Rudy Hermann Guede of Ivory Coast, on the same charges and sentenced him to 30 years in prison. He was tried separately under a fast-track procedure.
