PERUGIA, Italy (Reuters) – Amanda Knox was not a man-eater driven by her sexual urges but a young woman in love who was wrongly convicted of murdering her roommate, a lawyer for her ex-boyfriend said on Tuesday.

Prosecutors had tried to create a distorted image of Knox to pin her to the 2007 killing of British student Meredith Kercher, Raffaele Sollecito's lawyer said, and she likened the American to cartoon femme fatale Jessica Rabbit.

Knox was described as diabolical, a witch and a she-devil earlier in her appeals trial against verdicts that found her and Sollecito guilty of killing Kercher in 2007 during a sex game that turned violent.
