She made the comments on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” on Friday, a day after her guilty verdict was reinstated.

Italy’s supreme court reinstated the guilty verdict first handed down against her and ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito in 2009 in the slaying of a British roommate, Meredith Kercher.
The verdict was overturned in 2011, but the court vacated that decision and sent the case back for a third trial in Florence.
