Amanda Knox's freedom is once again on the line.
After the Supreme Court of Italy annulled her acquittal last month, Knox now waits to go back on trial.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News' Diane Sawyer, Knox said of the decision, 'It was incredibly painful.'
Knox spent four years in prison before an Italian appeals court threw out her murder conviction in 2011 and she had been hoping the Italian Supreme Court would uphold the appeals court ruling and end her six-year ordeal.
'I felt like after crawling through a field of barbed wire and finally reaching what I thought was the end, it just turned out that it was the horizon,' Knox said. 'And I had another field of barbed wire that I had ahead of me to crawl through.'
Watch Amanda Knox in an exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer set to air Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET.
The marathon legal battle will continue for Knox and for her ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, who had been convicted along with her.
The court also refused to vacate her conviction for slander over her identifying her employer, Patrick Lumumba, as the person who killed Kercher. It was a statement, she claimed, she made under police duress.
Knox already served the three-year prison sentence for the slander conviction.
Knox's lawyer, Carlo Dalla Vedova, told ABC News he expects a new trial

In her first television interview, the murder suspect says she wants to pay her respects at the grave of Brit Meredith Kercher.
Amanda Knox has said she wants to visit the grave of Meredith Kercher - but only with the permission of the murdered British student's family.
In her first television interview since being freed from an Italian prison, she said: 'Eventually I can have their permission to pay my respects at her grave and I would also like them to know that she talked about them to me.'
Italian prosecutors claim Miss Knox and her then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, killed Miss Kercher, 21, in a drug-fuelled sex game along with another man in 2007.
Miss Knox's alibi rests on her claim that she was at Mr Sollecito's house on the night, and not at the Perugia flat she shared with Miss Kercher.
But during a police interrogation she admitted she was at home with Miss Kercher.
When questioned by ABC News' Diane Sawyer as she launched her book on her experience, she insisted the partial confession was the result of her 'breaking down'.
'I didn't confess. I was interrogated,' Miss Knox told ABC News. '(The police) acted like my answers were wrong, they told me I was wrong, that I didn't remember correctly, that I had to remember correctly, and that if I didn't I would never see her family.

Amanda Knox says in an interview that what happened to her was 'surreal but it could have happened to anyone.'
The Seattle native told ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an interview airing Tuesday night that 'I want the truth to come out. I'd like to be reconsidered as a person.'
In March, Italy's highest criminal court overturned Knox's acquittal in the 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher and ordered a new trial for Knox, 25. Italian law cannot compel Knox to return for the new legal proceeding.
Knox told Sawyer the high court's decision was 'incredibly painful' and she felt as if she had to crawl through another field of barbed wire after reaching what she thought was the end.
She said she was aware of being labeled a seductress, she-devil and other names in the media, but she said 'they're wrong.'
'I was in the courtroom when they were calling me a devil,' she told Sawyer in interview excerpts posted online. 'It's one thing to be called certain things in the media, and it's another thing to be sitting in a courtroom fighting for your life while people are calling you a devil.
'For all intents and purposes I was a murderer, whether I was or not. I had to live with the idea that that would be my life,' she said during the interview.
Italian prosecutors have said Knox, who was an exchange student studying in Perugia, Ita

Audio of Amanda Knox's interrogation revealed for the first time
'I was innocent and they were telling me I was guilty' Amanda Knox cries as she tries to explain why she falsely accused Patrick Lumumba of Meredith Kercher's murder in newly-released interrogation tapes
Recordings of American student Amanda Knox being questioned over the death of murdered student Meredith Kercher are to be played for the first time in a documentary to be shown tonight.
The recordings reveal a tearful Knox saying that she felt under pressure from the police to accuse an innocent man, Patrick Lumumba, of murdering Meredith.
American Knox was last month convicted for the second time of murdering Ms Kercher in the Italian town of Perugia in 2007 and faces being sent back to Italy to serve a 28-year sentence for the crime.
Her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito was also last month found guilty having, like Amanda, successfully appealed against his previous conviction.
Immigrant Rudy Guede is the only one currently serving time in prison for the crime.
Now Meredith's family have spoken of the 'fear and terror' the British student must have felt on the night she was murdered.
