The sentence that Knox got was zero, how is it half of 16 years? You can't compare a definitive sentence with one that was overturned.

(Also the real killer got a 1/3rd automatic reduction by accepting summary judgment instead of a full trial).

She was wrongly imprisoned for 4 years. And had to spend 8 years of her life fighting to be free. So, yes, 8 is half of 16. They basically took her 20s from her.

She was convicted and imprisoned for calumny.
