Amanda Knox's Lawyers Want Hayden Panettiere Lifetime Movie Pulled
'Heroes' star Hayden Panettiere's new Lifetime movie, 'Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy,' is scheduled to premiere Feb. 21. But if Knox's lawyers have anything to say about it, the movie won't air at all.According to Deadline, Knox's legal team has formally petitioned Lifetime to pull the movie from its schedule and remove a trailer on its website while Knox's case is still under appeal. Knox's lawyers say that if Lifetime doesn't comply by Feb. 10, they will persue legal action against the network.
Knox was arrested while studying abroad in Italy in 2007 after her British roommate was brutally murdered. "Foxy Knoxy," as the press dubbed her, was sentenced last year to 26 years in prison, while her ex-boyfriend got 25 years. The Washington native has maintained her innocence.
Marcia Gay Harden plays Knox's mother in the movie. Watch the trailer below.
