PERUGIA, Italy ? The brother of slain British student Meredith Kercher says the family feels it is back to "square one" following the dramatic appeals court verdict overturning the conviction of American student Amanda Knox and her one-time Italian boyfriend.
Lyle Kercher told reporters on Tuesday that the family is still trying to understand how a decision that "was so certain two years ago has been so dramatically overturned."
Lyle Kercher said the family has been left to wonder who is guilty in the 21-year-old Kercher's death after the release of Knox and Raffaele Sollecito on appeal. A third man has been convicted in the brutal slaying, however his trial concluded that he did not act alone.

ROME (AP) ? Amanda Knox's family is at a Rome airport, as the American student acquitted of murdering her British roommate prepares to return to her home in Seattle.
AP photographers and camera crew at Leonardo da Vinci airport saw Knox's mother and other family members in a terminal where the student is expected to board a British Airways flight to London late Tuesday morning and then catch a connection there for the United States following four years in an Italian prison. Knox was believed to have been escorted by police through a private entrance to the airport.
An appeals court in Perugia Monday night acquitted Knox and her Italian former boyfriend of murdering British student Meredith Kercher in 2007. The two had been convicted by a lower court.
