After being cleared by the Italian court, Amanda Knox may receive compensation for her four-year imprisonment.

It's been nearly a decade since Knox's exchange program roommate Meredith Kercher was brutally murdered in their shared apartment, but the twenty-something remains a fascinating focal point across the globe.

Now, Knox will return to her horrific stomping grounds in order to receive her "Italian payday," her lawyer said.

The twice-convicted Washington native has officially been exonerated and cleared of her charges, and is set to return to Lo Stivale court to pursue recompense for her four-year incarceration.

"She will be seeking compensation for wrongful imprisonment," Knox's lawyer Carlo Dalla Vedova released in a statement.

According to reports, Knox also plans to write another book exposing her experience with the Italian judicial system.
