Knox to work to help wrongly convicted
SEATTLE – Finally cleared of involvement in her roommate’s 2007 murder in Italy, Amanda Knox says she will work on behalf of the wrongly convicted.
Knox, 27, wrote in a letter published Friday in The Seattle Times that the kindness of friends, family and strangers has sustained her in the seven-plus years since she was arrested in Meredith Kercher’s death in Perugia, Italy.
“Whatever the future holds for me, I know that I must give back,” Knox wrote.
She didn’t specify the capacity in which she would work for them.
Brief, but total eclipse of moon is coming
LOS ANGELES – Don’t blink. There’s a total eclipse of the moon Saturday, and it’s an unusually short one.
If there are clear skies, the 3-hour spectacle is visible from start to finish from the western U.S. and Canada where it occurs before dawn. Skygazers in the Midwest and East Coast only get part of the lunar show.
The eclipse can also be seen in its entirety Saturday night from eastern Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Europe and Africa are shut out.
