Amanda Knox Engaged: Meredith Kercher Roommate Surfaces After Engagement Announcement [PHOTO]
She reportedly confirmed that she is engaged to musician boyfriend Colin Sutherland, but convicted murderer Amanda Knox appears to be wanting to keep the news pretty quiet.
Knox, 27, was spotted out running errands over the Valentine's Day weekend in Seattle, with an engagement ring notably missing from her left hand ring finger, as she went through the city going through her tasks, and later met up with a female friend for curry.
Knox appears to be keeping more quiet about the engagement, as she only confirmed the news to a writer for the Seattle Times, but said no more about the news.

Despite the happy news for Knox that she could be getting married, there could be a major obstacle threatening to stand in the way of her marriage plans, as the process for her final appeals trial in the 2007 murder of her former roommate, Meredith Kercher, begins next month.
Knox was convicted of murdering Kercher in the Perugia, Italy flat they shared for the second time last yeat, and the final appeal is scheduled to be hears at Italy's Court of Cassation on March 25. That trial will either uphold the conviction reached in 2014, and could result in Knox being extradited back to Italy to begin serving a 28 ½ year sentence, or could set her up for yet another trial, with similar potential results.
Knox and her legal struggles have been in the spotlight since Kercher's body was found. At the time, Knox, her ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, and a third man, Rudy Guede were all arrested in connection to Kercher's murder. Guede's trial was fast-tracked, and he began serving a 16-year sentence in an Italian prison.
Knox and SOllecito were also convicted of the crime in 2009, but served only two years of their sentences before an appeals court threw out the charges against them. Knox returned to the U.S. afterwards, but her victory was short-lived after Italian prosecutors revealed plans to have the case re-tried again in 2013-resulting in she and Sollecito being convicted last year.
