Amanda Knox caught a break Saturday when two inmates stepped forward to testify that she was not involved in the murder for which she is being held in an Italian prison for.
In 2009, Knox, 23, was sentenced to 26 years in jail after being convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering British student Meredith Kercher.
Although two witnesses tried to clear Knox's name on Saturday, they may not be deemed credible witnesses as they're both in prison themselves -- Mario Alessi, serving 30 years for killing an 18-month-old boy and Luciano Aviello, a mafia member.
