Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito have officially been granted a few extra months of time to prepare their appeals cases, as their cases aren't set to be tried in Italy's highest court until March 2015.

Amanda Knox Convicted Because She Was An 'Outsider?'

The pair, who was reconvicted of murdering Knox's British roommate, Meredith Kercher, in January of this year, will face Italy's Supreme Court of Cassation on March 25, where they will receive a final verdict on the case, which has been ongoing since 2007.

The court is not set to re-examine the facts of the case, but will rule instead on the interpretation of the law in the new guilty verdict, the second one that was handed down to the two.

Amanda Knox Spotted With New Boyfriend?

Knox and Sollecito, along with a third man, Rudy Guede, were all arrested in connection to Kercher's murder in the Perugia, Italy flat she and Knox were sharing while they both studied in the city. Guede pleaded guilty and had his case fast-tracked, which allowed him to begin serving a 16-year prison sentence.

Knox and Sollecito however pleaded not guilty to the crime, but were also convicted in 2009. Two years later, they were both released from prison after their convictions were overturned, but prosecutors brought the case back to court last year, resulting in the second convictions in January.

If the convictions are upheld, there will likely be a battle to have Knox extradited to Italy to begin serving a 28-year sentence.

After the guilty verdict was handed down, Knox appeared on Good Morning America, where she vowed she would never willingly go back to Italy even if her conviction was upheld.

"I'm not prepared. I will never willingly go back," she said at the time. "I'm going to fight this until the very end. It's not right and it's not fair and I'm going to do everything I can. But I need a lot of help. I can't do this on my own."
