An Italian jury has reached a decision on whether it will uphold or overturn the convictions of Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaelle Sollecito in the murder of British student Meredith Kercher.
The ruling will be read at 3:30 p.m. ET (9:30 pm local time), the court said Monday.
Knox and Sollecito, who returned to prison after speaking in court Monday morning, are likely to begin heading back to the court in Perugia, Italy, now to hear their fate.
Nearly four years after she was arrested on suspicion of having killed her roommate in Perugia, Knox stood up in court and pleaded with a jury Monday to overturn her conviction.
"I am not what they say I am. I did not kill. I did not rape. I did not steal," Knox said, her voice trembling with emotion. She was making perhaps the most important speech of her life, and it showed.
Knox and co-defendant Sollecito have been fighting to be acquitted of the murder. Prosecutors have called for the pair's sentences -- of 26 and 25 years, respectively -- to be increased to life.
