Amanda Knox Film Reduces Meredith Kercher To An Extra At Her Own Funeral

by | 6th, December 2010

AMANDA Knox is not only a murderess appealing against her conviction for her part in the brutal killing for Meredith Kercher, she is a muse, inspiring a TV film called the The Amanda Knox Story. It’s a title that reduces Kercher to an extra in the made-for-TV film of her death.

Playing Knox is Hayden Panettiere. Playing Kercher is Amanda Fernando Stevens. No, she’s not playing the dead body in the film directed by Robert Dornhelm. That would be opportunist, sensationalistic, cheap and sick.

The producers of this macabre show should save it for the sequel…

American student Amanda Knox arrives for a hearing of her appeals murder trial, in Perugia, Italy, Saturday, July 30, 2011. Prosecutors at the appeals murder trial of Amanda Knox battled it out Saturday with independent forensic experts who say some of the key DNA evidence used to convict the American student of killing her British roommate was unreliable and possibly contaminated. The experts, who were appointed by the court to review the evidence and the procedures used to obtain it, maintain that the original investigation was marked by some glaring errors. They have mentioned more than 50, including the wearing of dirty gloves in collecting evidence. (AP Photo/StefanoMedici)
