An Italian court found American student Amanda Knox guilty today of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher and sentenced her to 26 years in prison.
ABC News:Part 1: 22-year-old American college student sentenced to 26 years in prison.
The midnight verdict prompted Knox, 22, and her family members to break down in tears, sobbing loudly in the jam packed courtroom.
Knox cried with her head bowed and was comforted by one of her lawyers.
The Seattle woman, who has spent the last two years in an Italian jail cell, was also convicted of a series of additional charges including sexual assault, conspiracy, faking a burglary and slandering a man she falsely implicated in the crime.
Knox's father, Curt Knox, when asked if they would appeal and fight, replied, "Hell yes."
