Hayden Panettiere: The Challenges of Amanda Knox

Just hours away from her controversial project's airing, Hayden Panettiere has found herself in a defensive mode while promoting the Lifetime movie "Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy".

Fighting the made-for-TV movie from the beginning, Miss Knox's legal team has tried to stop its broadcast while saying that it may hurt their client's chance for an appeal.

Of the challenging reaction she's received for the role, Hayden told the Los Angeles Times, "I've definitely gotten harsh questions. It's nothing that would incriminate her or sway a judge's opinion of her in a court of law. That's the main concern here."

As for the story, Amanda Knox was charged in December 2009 with the murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher.

The incident is alleged to have happened in 2007 while Knox was studying abroad in Italy.

With Amanda currently serving a 26-year sentence, Panettiere told of her position on the case, saying, "I couldn't even tell you, because I haven't decided. The approach I had to take was that even if she was guilty, she had convinced herself she was innocent."

"To a certain degree, guilty or innocent, I want to see her get out and be able to live the rest of her life," the "Heroes" actress added. "She's someone that I root for."
