    Whatever the complaints about the movie, it brings home, as few films on such themes ever do, the terrors of accusation and conviction.

    After watching the movie, I may not have actually changed my mind about her innocence--but for the first time, I sure have doubts.

    Panettiere takes a tricky role and does it, at least, some justice.

    Ultimately, though, Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy isn't as sensational as it might have been. It unfolds without too much of the lurid caricature of so many other Lifetime movies.
