—John Wimberly, Dahlonega
A: Raffaele Sollecito, now Knox's ex-boyfriend, also was cleared of the murder of Meredith Kercher after spending four years in prison. Raffaele's father, Francesco Sollecito, told The Times of the United Kingdom earlier this month that Knox's family has asked Raffaele to visit them in Seattle. Raffaele is staying in the Italian town of Bari. Kercher, 21, was found murdered in 2007 in Perugia, Italy.
