Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy

Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy

The controversial scene shows Meredith Kercher a brutal attack, he shot and stabbed by three assassins with half naked state had been edited out of the cutting end of the film, following angry reactions to the trailer by the family of Miss Kercher and Amanda Knox.

Other controversial scenes were left in the movie, including one that shows Guede watching in a panic as he sees blood squirting from Kercher's neck after she was stabbed with a knife.

"Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy," which stars Hayden Panettiere as Knox and Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden as Knox's mother, and purports to be a fact-based account of the case of the American student convicted of killing her British roommate in Perugia, Italy, four years ago.

Knox is the 23-year-old Seattle-bred college student who was charged in December 2009 with the murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher, while studying abroad in 2007. The case became the subject of immense media attention due not only to Knox's seemingly all-American upbringing but also because of the lack of substantial evidence in the conviction of Knox and her former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito.

In film, Panettiere as Knox is presented as innocent until numerous court scenes depict prosecutor Giuliano Mignini conjuring up his theories about Kercher's murder. Through Mignini's imagining of the events, the movie features flashbacks in which Knox is shown killing her roommate, engaging in promiscuous sexual behavior and smoking marijuana.
