Amanda Knox, the 26-year-old American was just re-convicted by an Italian court for the 2007 murder of her British roommate, appeared on Good Morning America and said (via ABC foreign editor Jon Williams) that the situation "really has hit me like train. I will never go willingly. Am going to fight this to end. Not right, not fair.

Raffaele Sollecito, an Italian who was also convicted, has been detained by the Italy-Austria border. The Italian superior court sentenced Sollecito to 25 years in jail for the murder and ordered his passport seized.

The guilty verdict was first handed down in 2009 and then overturned in 2011. Knox and Sollecito were consequently freed from prison.

Italy's superior court vacated that decision and sent the case back for a third trial in Florence.?

Knox has been sentenced to 28 years and six months in prison, and Sollecito has been sentenced to 25 years.

Knox lives in Seattle. A law expert told CNN that she is unlikely to be extradited while a Harvard law professor argues that the U.S. will have little legal argument for turning down an extradition request.

"We're trying to get Snowden back -- how does it look if we want Snowden back and we won't return someone for murder?" Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz asked, referring to fugitive intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.

More to come, including the video.
