Amanda Knox announces engagement

Even though Amanda Knox's legal case is continuing in Italy, back home in Seattle, she's moving on with her life.

According to The Seattle Times, Knox is engaged to musician Colin 'Thunderstrike' Sutherland. Sutherland reportedly wrote her while she was in an Italian jail and even moved back to Seattle to be with her.

Sutherland and Knox have been seen together as far back as September 2014 when the two were spotted in Coney Island.

Knox has retained a fairly normal life since moving back to the United States following her release from Italian prison in 2011.

She graduated from the University of Washington last year with a degree in creative writing.

From there, she's retained a job at a bookstore and as a freelance art reporter for The West Seattle Herald.

But her freedom is still in question abroad.

In 2007, while studying abroad for school in Italy, Knox's roommate, Meredith Kercher was stabbed to death. Knox was arrested in 2007 and indicted on murder charges in 2008.

In '09, Knox was convicted of murder, but appealed. She won the appeal and was released from prison to return to the U.S. in 2011.

Then, just two years later, that ruling was reversed and Italy's highest criminal court ordered a retrial.

The retrial found her guilty and she was again convicted of the same murder in 2014.

Now, there's another appeal as well as a legal fight over whether the U.S. should extradite Knox for her to serve her sentence. That case will be heard March 25.

The Seattle Times reports no wedding date has been set for Knox and Sutherland.

Amanda Knox Latest Trial Update: Knox’ rocker fiancé rides with her popularity?

Amanda Knox became infamous because of the crime that she allegedly committed while she was still studying overseas. Her captivating looks made her even more popular than some Hollywood mainstays. As of the moment, she is waiting for a retrial for the murder case of Meredith Kercher. It's going to happen in the next few months. However, she is still making headlines because apparently, everyone wants to know what Foxy Knoxy is doing with her personal life. 

The latest update is her recent engagement with a childhood friend, Colin Sutherland. He is a rock band member from New York who moved to Seattle. According to source, he used to write letters to Knox while she was still in prison. Some say it's true love while others think that he just wants to ride Knox' fame. There is no definite date for their wedding. But we are sure of one thing. Media from all over will cover their wedding, even without an invitation.

And of course, another thing that is making headlines is the new movie which people think is inspired by Amanda Knox' story. One report says that it's actually a tribute to Meredith Kercher and her possible life if she wasn't killed few years ago. Even if the director of the movie claims that this isn't about the murder trial, it's pretty much evident where the storyline was picked. Amanda Knox' followers would definitely watch this. 

Most people are looking forward to the final verdict on Amanda Knox' murder trial. Few months from now and we will be able to have answers. Hopefully the Italian court would stay away from more controversies. They should be able to evaluate the case thoroughly given that it has been years since Meredith Kercher's brutal death. Until then, we'll give you updates on what is happening with Knox.
