ROME —

Italy’s highest criminal court on Tuesday overturned Amanda Knox’s acquittal in the slaying of her British roommate and ordered a new trial, prolonging a case that has become a cause celebre in the United States.

Knox called the decision “painful” but said she was confident in the truth.

The Court of Cassation ruled that an appeals court in Florence must re-hear the case against the American student and her former Italian boyfriend for the murder of 21-year-old Meredith Kercher. The exact issues that have to be reconsidered won’t be known until the court releases its full ruling within 90 days.

“Recently I’ve encountered this question in various forms: “Have you always been into music?” Initially, I was annoyed. Somehow I was hearing it as a criticism. (“Why don’t you take up sewing quilts or some other respectable interest?”) But then I thought about it, and the honest answer is Yes, I have always been into music. And I don’t see what the problem is. Other people go to NFL games, I go to concerts. Other people watch Ellen, I listen to jango. Other people go to movies, I go to clubs.”
