Following the released report stating reasons for her reconviction in the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, American Amanda Knox is maintaining her innocence as she prepares for an appeals trial.

Knox and Sollecito Turning On One Another?

In an April 29 post on her personal website, where she provides links to the Nencini Report that states the motives and evidence the court believed it had to reconvict both her and Raffaele Sollecito, Knox maintained that they are not only innocent, but confirmed that she will seek an appeal on the sentence.

"We are innocent of the accusation against us, and the recent motivation document does not-and cannot-change the fact of our innocence," she wrote. "The recent motivation document does not-and cannot-change the forensic evidence."

U.S. State Department Will 'Fail' Amanda Knox Again?

"I will now focus on pursuing an appeal before the Italian Supreme Court," she added.

Knox's lawyer, Theodore Simon, has also maintained his client's innocence by claiming that there never has been, and never will be, proper evidence linking his client to the crime.

"We have always said there is no evidence, there was no evidence, there never will be any evidence," he told The Today Show April 30. "There was no hair, fiber, footprint, shoe print, handprint, palm print, fingerprint, sweat, saliva, DNA of Amanda Knox in the room where Meredith Kercher was killed. That in and of itself tells you unassailably that she is innocent."

The report, which was released on April 29, stated that the court found Knox and Sollecito guilty because they determined Kercher had been stabbed by multiple assailants, and that the motive for the crime stemmed from an escalating argument over money that Knox and Kercher had had earlier on the day of the murder.

Knox, Sollecito and Guede were all arrested in connection to Kercher's death back in 2007. While Guede was convicted of murder and given a 16-year sentence, Knox and Sollecito both pleaded not guilty and served four years in an Italian prison before their convictions were overturned in 2011.

In January of this year, the Italian Court reconvicted Knox and Sollecito in a retrial that was reportedly focused on DNA evidence. At this trial, Knox was sentenced to 28 years in an Italian prison, while Sollecito was sentenced to 25 years.

Now that the reasoning for the reconvictions has been released, the verdict has officially been opened to appeals by both Knox and Sollecito. However, if the Supreme Court of Cassation confirms the convictions, Sollecito, who is still in Italy, will be brought to prison.

Know, who resides in Seattle, Wash., would then become the focus in what would likely be a long extradition fight between the U.S. and Italy.
