Are you ready for a second Amanda Knox trial? Knox has been indicted on slander charges for saying she was beaten by police during her 2007 questioning. A judge indicted Knox after speaking with her in a closed-doors hearing, the AP reports. The trial is set to begin May 17. Police filed the slander charge in responses to Knox’s assertions that they beat her during an all-night interrogation. Knox says she was only trying to defend herself, and didn’t mean to slander anyone, according to her lawyer.
