Amanda Knox Leaves Murder Case Woes Behind As She Gets Engaged; Meredith Kercher's Roommate To Be Registered As Sex Offender?

Even with the murder case trial hanging over her head, it doesn't stop Amanda Knox from accepting the marriage proposal from her musician beau. Meanwhile, Meredith Kercher's alleged killer might have to register herself as a sex offender.

According to the report from The Seattle Times, Amanda Knox is already engaged to boyfriend Colin Sutherland.

"Knox has sought to keep a low profile since returning, despite bouts of paparazzi stalking that yielded pictures of her and Sutherland, a lanky rock musician," it said. "Her engagement was disclosed by a source close to the family, and Knox confirmed it in an email, but declined to say anything else."

Meanwhile, a Radar Online report alleged that Amanda Knox might have to register herself as a sex offender following her conviction for sexual assault on her murder trial over the death of Meredith Kercher.

The Department of Justice did not comment on the report but the National Guidelines for Sex Offender Registry and Notification says that registration is required if the violator is convicted of a sex offense "under the laws of any foreign country that are deemed to have been obtained with sufficient safeguards for fundamental fairness and due process ..."

"The entire situation is currently on hold, however," said Radar Online. "As Knox's trial proceeds: Italian courts will hear her appeal on March 25, at which time they will determine if the country may seek to extradite her from the U.S."

Inquisitr added that Washington State Legislature mandates convicted sex offenders from abroad to be included in the registry.

For some reason, however, Amanda Knox wasn't registered as a sex offender in connection to her murder case trial.

"Of course the ball could already be in the feds' court since Knox is not necessarily from abroad, but requests for her possible extradition must come through the federal government in the first place," it said.
