Franco Origlia/Getty Images(ROME) — Amanda Knox’s ex-boyfriend said on Monday he will no longer tolerate being called a murderer after Italy’s high court ruled to exonerate him and Knox of murder last week.
Speaking in Italian, Raffaele Sollecito said at a press conference in Rome that he feels like a kidnap victim who after seven years and five months has been freed.
On Friday, Italy’s supreme court overturned his and Knox’s guilty verdict for the murder of Meredith Kercher.
Sollecito said he doesn’t think anyone can imagine what it means to have their life and that of their family’s torn to bits. He added that he will never heal from this profound wound.
Sollecito repeated that he never had anything to do with Kercher’s murder and that from this moment on, he will never tolerate being called a murderer. If he is, he said he will take the appropriate and necessary actions to stop it.
