Amanda Knox might be returning to an Italian jail after the country's Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday to throw out her acquittal in the case of the murder of Knox's then-roommate from Britain, Meredith Kercher. The court also ordered a retrial in the case, which drew worldwide attention and made a household name out of the young girl from Seattle who went to Italy to study abroad during college. 

But Knox also could be found innocent, again. It's also unclear if she will have to return to Italy for the news proceedings, since she previous had her conviction overturned and returned to the United States. 

Since her release, according to CNN, Knox has been staying out of the public eye and the media. She's returned to Seattle and is studying at the University of Washington. 

On Tuesday, she issued a statement that read, "No matter what happens, my family and I will face this continuing legal battle as we always have, confident in the truth and with our heads held high in the face of wrongful accusations and unreasonable adversity."

"I believe that any questions as to my innocence must be examined by an objective investigation and a capable prosecution," the statement went on to read, according to NBC News. "The prosecution responsible for the many discrepancies in their work must be made to answer for them, for Raffaele's sake, my sake, and most especially for the sake of Meredith's family. Our hearts go out to them." 

Meredith Kercher, 21, was found dead Nov. 1, 2007, inside the apartment she shared with Knox in Perugia, Italy. She was killed by multiple knife wounds. Italian prosecutors charged Knox and her then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, with Kercher's death. They said Kercher was killed for various reasons, including the possibility that it was part of a drug-fueled rage, and overall painted a a dark picture of the bright-eyed and young undergraduate from the Pacific Northwest. Italian newspapers even nicknamed her "Foxy Noxy."

At first, the two were found guilty. Knox was sentenced to 25 years. Sollecito was sentenced to 25  years. Both were later acquitted by a higher court in 2011, after spending about four years in prison.
