ABC’s “Good Morning America” has landed the first interview with Amanda Knox just hours after an appeals court in Italy upheld the guilty verdict against the U.S. student and her ex-boyfriend for the 2007 murder of her British roommate, sources confirm to Variety.
Knox, who was sentenced to 28 1/2 years in prison, is scheduled to speak with ABC’s Robin Roberts Friday morning on “Good Morning America.”
This isn’t the first time Knox has agreed to an exclusive sit-down with ABC. Last year Diane Sawyer interviewed the controversial student following her 2012 acquittal in Florence, Italy.
In a statement from Seattle, where she had awaited the verdict, Knox said she was “frightened and saddened” by the decision, which she said was unjust and the result of an overzealous prosecution and narrow-minded investigation.

“This has gotten out of hand,” she said. “Having been found innocent before, I expected better from the Italian justice system.”
