Amanda Knox Update:Original Murder Scene Cut Out of Lifetime Movie?
Tonight the Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy movie premiered on Lifetime. In an Amanda Knox update to the movie, according to The Telegraph as reported earlier today, a violent scene in the movie depicting the brutal murder of Meredith Kercher had been cut from the film.
Reportedly, the original murder scene showed Meredith wearing jeans and a grey bra, being held down and brutally attacked by a “knife-wielding Amanda Knox, Knox’s Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito and… Rudy Guede.”
Although Knox, Sollecito, and Guede proclaimed their innocence as soon as it happened and have continued to proclaim their innocence in the crime, all three have been sentenced. Knox received 26 years in prison, Sollecitowas sentenced to 25 years in prison, and drifter Guede was originally sentenced to 30 years, but his sentence was reduced to 16 during an appeal.
Both Meredith and Knox’s families wanted the entire film banned, and there is speculation that the scene was deleted to appease both families. The scene was still graphic; Guede watches as blood runs from a wound in Meredith’s neck after she’s been stabbed. The film ends by indicating there is reasonable doubt that Knox and Raffaele were even involved in the killing.
So do you think Amanda is guilty?

Kyle commented on Feb 22 11 at 1:26 amThere is NO WAY SHE IS GUILTY. Italy has the most retarded police, court system, scientists, and media known to man.
In fact, there standards are quite medieval- Guilty until proven innocent. It’s a witch hunt.
All forensic evidence points to ONE culprit: Guede. The entire nation of Italy is just too embarrassed to admit they are wrong.
The Italian police are cowards and pigs. Their court system is antiquated and unjust. Their media is sensationalistic and carries EXTREME anti-American sentiment. Their scientists corrupt and obviously inept.
This is a severe injustice. I hope it gets rectified.
Olivia commented on Feb 24 11 at 5:38 pmI think Italy’s police IS retarded too! They plant stuff in Amanda’s mind that makes her think things that probably aren’t true. i believe amanda is innocent!!!!!!!!!!!!! i DONT believe that she did it. they were friends, yeah, and friends fight about stuff. stupid stuff. Yes, amanda could have cleaned up after herself after she used something or the bathroom wen she was done! They fought, but doesn’t mean she murdered her. i think it might be someone we don’t know yet of.. or one of the guys (black guys) I think this case is severe and stupid to be honest. YEs, a girl was murdered but AMANDA is innocent! like i said before its been almost 4 years and im sure she wud have admitted to it by now… so italy ur ur laws suck!!!!!!!! she is a regular college student, then u ruined it!
