Knox lawyers seek to halt Meredith murder film

Lawyers for American student Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend, who were found guilty of killing her British roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy, are demanding that US television channel Lifetime scraps a planned film about the trial.

Carlo Dalla Vedova and Luca Maori said they had sent letters to Lifetime warning they would go to court in the US to try to sequester the film unless it was cancelled and a trailer removed from Lifetime’s website.
