Rudy Guede, the drifter convicted of murdering the British exchange student Meredith Kercher in Italy, saw his sentence cut from 30 to 16 years on appeal today, as his conviction was upheld.
The appeal court had reduced Guede's sentence to 24 years and cut one-third off as is custom when defendants opt for a fast-track trial, said Francesco Maresca, a lawyer representing Kercher's family, who argued for the original sentence to be left unchanged.
