With their final appeal scheduled to be heard in just a few short months, more evidence may be emerging that might prove Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito's innocence in the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher.

According to the Digital Journal, computer experts hired by Sollecito have shown that investigators completely overlooked data retrieved from his computer during his trial, adding to the growing list of alleged misconduct that has been alluded to since the case began in 2007.

During Sollecito and Knox's 2013 appeal in Florence, his experts claim vital computer evidence was neglected, which proved he and Knox's claim that they spent the entire night of Kercher's murder at his apartment, with human interaction on his computer at 9:26 p.m. when he opened a 23-minute cartoon, Naruto.

Evidence previously showed that Kercher was believed to have been murdered shortly after arriving home after 9 p.m., with an alleged secretly recorded Skype conversation Rudy Guede, who is serving time for the murder, had with a friend before his arrest, where he allegedly claimed that Kercher screamed before he killed her between 9:20-9:30 p.m.-meaning Knox and Sollecito could not have been present at the time of the murder.

The computer evidence was allegedly discredited at the appeal trial because a suggestion that Knox and SOllecito did start the cartoon, but left immediately afterwards and arrived at the Perugia flat Knox shared with Kercher and two other women before the murder occurred.

Knox was first thrust into the spotlight back in 2007, after she, Sollecito and Guede were all arrested in connection to Kercher's murder. Guede's trial was fast-tracked, and he began serving a 16-year sentence in an Italian prison.

Knox and Sollecito were also convicted of the crime in 2009, but served only two years of their sentences before an appeals court threw out the charges against them. Knox returned to the U.S. afterwards, but her victory was short-lived after Italian prosecutors revealed plans to have the case re-tried again in 2013-resulting in she and Sollecito being convicted earlier this year. Their final chance at an appeal will be heard at Italy's highest court in March 2015, and if the convictions are upheld, Sollecito will immediately begin serving a 25-year sentence. Knox, who was sentenced to 28 ½ years, would likely become the focus of an extradition battle between the U.S. and Italy.
