Meredith Kercher family lawyer accuses Amanda Knox of 'cashing in' on murder with new TV film

Meredith Kercher's family lawyer Francesco Maresca has accused Amanda Knox of 'disrespectfully' cashing in on the murder of the British exchange student as TV filming begins

Knox and Sollecito were initially convicted of the murder alongside Rudy Guede, with the former pair being found guilty in 2009 but subsequently released on appeal two years later. In her letter, published in several newspapers, Mayor Vittoria Fernandi claimed she was powerless to stop such a production from filming in Perugia and that she hoped the series would show the city in its best light. The series, Blue Moon, stars Grace Van Patten in the lead role, with Italy's Giuseppe De Domenico portraying Sollecito.
