AMANDA KNOX said she was “waiting for her freedom” as her murder appeal began in Italy yesterday.
American Knox, 23, was jailed for 26 years last year for killing British student Meredith Kercher in Perugia in 2007.
Knox looked tense and thinner but smiled at her stepfather Chris Mellas and friends sat at the back of the court.
One of her legal team put a comforting arm around her, as the student, known as Foxy Knoxy, listened to legal arguments.
Before the hearing, Knox told Italian MP Rocco Girlanda, that jail had “broken my dreams” but she was hopeful of freedom .
Knox’s lawyers are seeking a full review of the case, including disputed DNA evidence found on a knife.
Miss Kercher’s family, from Coulsdon, Surrey, were not at the hearing, which was adjourned until December 11.
