Ex-Boyfriend of Amanda Knox: Raffaele Sollecito Goes To Home Where Meredith Kercher Died? [VIDEO]
Though Amanda Knox refuses to go back to Italy following a January reconviction for the death of her former roommate Meredith Kercher, her ex-boyfriend and co-defendant has shown back up at the home where Kercher's life ended.
'Double Jeopardy' Won't Save Knox?
Raffaele Sollectio took his current girlfriend to the Perugia Italy residence April 18, a move that shouldn't raise suspicions, his father said.
"If Raffaele wanted to show his girlfriend the ordeal he went through, I can't see anything wrong with that," he said. "He had absolutely nothing to do with that crime."

Knox, Sollecito and a third man named Rudy Guede were all arrested in connection to Kercher's death back in 2007. While Guede was convicted of murder and given a 16-year sentence, Knox and Sollecito both pleaded not guilty and served four years in an Italian prison before their convictions were overturned in 2011.
However, earlier this year, an Italian court reconvicted Knox and Sollecito in a retrial focused on DNA evidence. At this trial, Knox was sentenced to 28 years in an Italian prison, while Sollecito was sentenced to 25 years.
At the time of her reconviction, Knox said she would never willingly go back to Italy and serve her sentence.
"I'm not prepared. I will never willingly go back," she said at the time. "I'm going to fight this until the very end."
While Knox works on a second appeal on the case, she remains in the U.S. If her appeal is thrown out, Italy could seek her extradition to the country to begin serving her sentence.
