Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere is set to play the role of convicted killer Amanda Knox.
The new TV movie will be called The Amanda Knox Story and Hayden will play the title character who was sentenced to 26 years in jail for the murder of an English student while on erasmus in Italy.
Knox, her ex-boyfriend and an Italian drug dealer were jailed after they killed student Meredith Kercher when she wouldn't partake in a sex game.
Panettiere will play the US student, who was 20 at the time of the murder. Judges concluded in December that Knox and her boyfriend staged a break in to make it look like Meredith was killed by an intruder. And her semi-naked body was found in a pool of blood.

Amanda Knox is trying to appeal her conviction... so I wonder if this life time movie will side with Amanda or go against her? I hope they do justice for Meredith.
I hate Hayden Paniettere so it will be easy to hate Amanda Knox.
