The sister of slain British student Meredith Kercher has urged the court to weigh the evidence against Amanda Knox and not pay attention to the "media hype" surrounding the high-profile case. Stephanie Kercher spoke to reporters as the eight-member jury on Monday deliberated the fate of Knox and co-defendant Raffaele Sollecito, who are appealing their 2009 murder convictions. Stephanie Kercher, her mother and her brother are in Perugia for the verdict, expected later Monday.
