Ivory Coast citizen Rudy Guede was also tried separately in a fast-track procedure and in October 2008 was found guilty of the sexual assault and murder of Kercher. Knox and Sollecito were also later prosecuted although were released after almost four years following their acquittal at a second-level trial. The appeals trials then had to be repeated, and the couple were convicted again in 2014. Their conviction was eventually annulled by the Italian Supreme Court on March 27 2015.

'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore

**'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore** is the title of a song written recorded and released by David Bowie. Originally released as a stand-alone single in digital and streaming formats only on 10 November 2014, it later featured as the B-side to Bowie's next single Sue (Or In a Season of Crime), released exactly one week later.

A re-recorded version of the song later featured on Bowie's final album ★ (2016).

The tile of the song is based on the title of the 17th century play *Tis Pity She's a Whore* written by John Ford.
