Knox: Living Someone Else's Life -

Amanda Knox says she feels like she is living someone else's life and has developed a peculiar obsession about visiting Meredith Kercher's grave.

The opening session of her do-over appeal commenced without her presence, which was not required, as she is being represented in the Florence court by lawyers.

The Italian Supreme Court declared the previous appeal process a kind of mistrial, nullifying it, and ordered the do-over. Mistrials occur in American, too, but the rules and specifications may be a bit different in each system as to exactly what constitutes a mistrial.

And what about Meredith Kercher's grave? That may be Knox's only tangible souvenir of the entire Perugian episode from which she has emerged.
