The British exchange student, 21, was killed in November 2007 in a crime that shook the small community in Perugia, Italy.

Last night, the court in Florence issued a 337 page document explaining why they are sentencing the American to 28 years in prison for the murder, despite a court overturning her conviction in 2011.

In the papers, it is alleged that Amanda and Meredith argued about money on the night the British student lost her life.

They also allege that Meredith's wounds show she could not have been killed by just one aggressor, and that she was stabbed by at least two different weapons.

But Amanda, who has been in her native U.S. since her conviction was overturned in late 2011, says the recent document does not change the fact that her D.N.A. was not found in the room of the murder or on Meredith's body.

The allegation that Amanda stole about 300 euros and two credit cards from Meredith is also something which the American disputes - because she had over $4,000 in her bank account at the time of the murder, plus a job and an allowance from her parents.

Amanda added: 'I will now focus on pursuing an appeal before the Italian Supreme Court. I remain hopeful that the Italian courts will once again recognise my innocence.'

Knox previously said that the Italians would only extradite her 'kicking and screaming.'
