The trailer for The Face of an Angel, an adaptation of the book by Barbie Latza Nardeau called Angel Face about the Amanda Knox saga, is out and it is as salacious and exploitative as any slapdash Lifetime movie about a recent murder trial except it features some pretty notable talent like Daniel Bruhl, Cara…
In a highly emotional interview with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts, Amanda Knox said Friday that she would fight her guilty verdict "to the very end," a sentiment she'd shared when it was first announced her case would be retried.
Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito have been found guilty again by an Italian court and sentenced to 28.5 and 25 years in prison, respectively.
