Lawyers for Amanda Knox, the American student convicted in Italy of murdering her roommate, say they have a new witness who can prove Knox wasn't present when her roommmate was killed.
Knox's lawyer told "Good Morning America" today that they are confident that new evidence in the 200-page appeal of her murder conviction will force Italian courts to take a hard look at the validity of her prison sentence.
"Why is Amanda Knox still in jail?" her attorney Theodore "Ted" Simon asked today on "GMA," calling the 22-year-old's conviction for the 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher "fraught with speculation."
Knox's legal team and her family are hoping the appeal will overturn her conviction and bring her home to Seattle
