![KNOX: I'M VICTIM IN SLANDER CASE](https://cdn.magzter.com/1583503328/1717816714/articles/Cgz2-NR1w1717828356365/KNOX-IM-VICTIM-IN-SLANDER-CASE.jpg)
AMANDA Knox says she is a victim after a court upheld a ruling that she slandered a man over the murder of British student Meredith Kercher.
The American, 36, who spent almost four years in jail before being cleared of her flatmate's murder, now claims she has been unjustly persecuted her whole adult life.
Knox falsely accused bar owner Patrick Lumumba of taking part in the 2007 killing in Perugia, Italy.
On Wednesday, she wept when a Florence appeal court ruled that her slander conviction and its three-year jail term would be upheld.
Although Knox faces no more jail time because of the years she was wrongly imprisoned, she wants to appeal the decision and clear her name.
