I think someone else had already been convicted of the murder
Knox and her boyfriend were imprisoned because the police believed they were somehow involved.

Good question about the slander thing though, rightfully she should be let off that unless she knew he wasn't involved and deliberately set out to ruin him

The appeal covered that too
and the court held that she was still guilty.

I think she was sentenced to 3 years for the slander, but as she's already served 4, they've let her off
