'PERUGIA, Italy — An Italian court on Monday rejected defense lawyers' requests to throw out the murder indictments of an American student and her former boyfriend on trial for the slaying of her British roommate.

Lawyers for Amanda Knox and co-defendant Raffaele Sollecito, accused in the 2007 slaying of Meredith Kercher, had challenged key DNA findings in the case and asked the court to toss out the indictments. The indictments are partly based on DNA evidence.

Knox and Sollecito, who were both in court as the trial resumed after a summer break, deny wrongdoing.'
