Download link to the film: Amanda Knox, Murder on trial in Italy

If you have a spare 90 minutes, it's well worth watching, if not only for how fit the girl who plays Knoxy is. Jesus H Christ. I found it quite interesting, although it does contain a few fallacies.

Here's how the film differentiates from what supposedly happened....

Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Film is good quality and virus free. Uploaded it myself.
Cheers I will get that and watch later.

From my own reading today I think she was entirely innocent.

The original prosecutor, who started the crazy theory that she was some kind of she devil, involved in a satanic ritual orgy is now serving a suspended sentence for phone tapping journalists who disagreed with his theory.

He orignally created the theory after seeing the text Knox sent to Patrick Lulumba saying 'See you later'. He construed that to be a sinister text agrreing to plot an assassination, and came up with the idea that Knox, Sollecito and Lumumba planned to kill Meredith as a part of a satanic ritual.

This also explains why Knox, under great duress might acuse Lulumba. Clearly, the prosecutor, Giulano Miaginini was putting it to her that the three of them had killed Meredith, and Knox insisting that she wasn't involved said it was all Lulumba. It was Mignini who initially made the accusation of Lulumba and he got Amanda to agree to his involvement in the killing.

When Randy Guede's prints and DNA were found all over Meredith's body, he kept his satanic ritual theory and merely switched Guede with Lulumba.

But as the evidence overwhelmingly shows, there was no trace of evidence implicating Amanda in the killing at all, it was just the theory insisted upon by Mignini.

The fact that there were holes in Amanda's story can fairly easily be explained imo by the following facts;

She was under intense duress, with a basicallly corrupt police force telling her what happened and hitting her around the head, denying her a lawyer etc, interrogating her in a language she barely knew. She was, let's remember only 19 at the time as well.

I think it was a complete and total miscarriage of justice, virtually all of the accusations against her either grossly exaggerated and distorted, or else entirely fabricated.

I hope the original proscetor ends up being the subject of further investigations and that Amanda and Sollecito both get substantial compensation for this atrocity of justice.
Now i've had time to think about it, i'm sort of leaning towards your view here. I watched the film and even though it's not real, the intensity of what she will have been going through when she was being interrogated, really shines through. And then when you factor in her not speaking perfect Italian, it's more plausible that she did panic and basically accuse Lulumba.

It also seems odd how Guede's DNA was all over the scene and only 5 cells or so of Knox's were. That doesn't add up if she took part in the killing.

Yeah, I really don't think she had anything to do with it at all. Probably a really lovely girl who has had her life tragically ruined.

What happens in the film by the way? Is she the killer in that?
Its a very watchable movie,you'll be all over her I mean it. It shows the sequence of events and gets you into her personality and her relationships with all involved just as much as her fuck ups in not being 100% honest for some reason. The credits bring us up to date.
It was on Foxtel yesterday as a free to air movie.
