amanda knox story

A graphic series of events during a murder in Lifetime's "The Amanda Knox Story" has been edited out after Knox's and Meredith Kercher's family complained about the scene, reports have emerged. The film is centered around the stabbing death of British student Meredith Kercher in the town of Perugia in Italy in November 2007.

The victim’s roommate Amanda Knox and her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were convicted in 2009 of sexually assaulting and killing the 21-year-old. A third killer Rudy Guede, an Ivory Coast citizen, was convicted of participating in the slaying in a separate trial. In the cut scene, Meredith (Amanda Fernando Stevens) appeared in a grey bra and jeans as she was pinned down and stabbed by her three alleged killers, including Knox (Hayden Panetierre) and Sollecito (Paolo Romio), London's Telegraph reported.

So controversy has been stoked up on the back of the making of the film and the storyline was apparently too near the knuckle for the family of the victims to stomach.
