Amanda's nd her ex boyfriend's (both found guilty of murdering Amanda's roommate in Italy in 2007) attorneys are fighting Lifetime and trying to stop Lifetime from airing a movie about Amanda's trial. The attorneys are threatening to sue the network if the airing of the movie is not cancelled. The attorneys are also demanding for the immediate removal of the trailer from Lifetime's website reports The Associated Press.
Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy, Hayden Panettiere playing the part of Amanda Knox, will air on Monday, Feb. 21. unless the network agrees to cancel.
Associated Press reports that A&E Television Networks, which owns Lifetime had declined to comment.
Amanda Knox and ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were both convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering Meredith Kercher, Amanda's roommate, in their apartment. Meredith Kercher was stabbed to death on Nov. 1, 2007.
Amanda Knox received 26 years, and Sollecito received a 25 year sentence. Both deny both the assault and murder, and are appealing the case.
The victim's father, Jon Kercher, has criticized the re-enactment scenes from the TV movie as "absolutely horrific." Sollecito's attorney, Maori, said the film presented scenes that were "beyond any logic."
The trailer was still on Lifetime's website Sunday afternoon. The trailer can be seen here
