Amanda Knox told Good Morning America that she “couldn’t believe what I was hearing” on Thursday when she watched an Italian court declare her guilty of murder a second time.

“It really hit me like a train,” Knox said of the verdict and 28-year prison sentence. “I did not expect this to happen. I really expected so much better from the Italian justice system. They found me innocent once before.”

Knox already spent four years in an Italian prison for the murder of her English roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007.
