Washington, Oct 5 (ANI): American student Amanda Knox, who has been freed from an Italian prison after winning an appeal against her conviction for the murder of British student, told her cheering friends and supporters that she was "overwhelmed" to be home.
"I'm a little overhwlemed right now," Knox said, adding that looking down from the airplane on her flight home was surreal.
"Thanks to everyone who believed in me, who has defended me, who supported my family," said Knox as she arrived Seattle on a British Airways flight.
"My family's the most important thing right now and i just want to go be with them," she added.
CBS News quoted Knox's mother, Edda Mellas, as saying that her daughter's acquittal came "because the amazing support they received from people all over the world."
Knox, 23, and her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, were found guilty last year of killing their roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007 by slashing her throat with a knife during a violent, and drug-fueled sex game.
Meredith was killed in a cottage she shared with Knox in a medieval Italian town.
Prosecutors had earlier argued that Knox was filled with vengeance, a "coiled spring," because her "prissy roommate" Meredith criticized her cleanliness and her sexual habits. (ANI)
