Amanda Knox's Murder Case Sees TV Treatment? Part-Time Writer Admits Lawsuit Made Her Claustrophobic

The murder case involving Amanda Knox will be televised on a drama series from ABC as the student and part-time writer claimed that the whole trial made her feel claustrophobic.

In a report from TV Wise, the ABC Family has ordered the production of "Guilt," described as an "hour-long drama series which is similar in tone to the real life Amanda Knox case and tells the story of an American teenager who becomes the prime suspect in her roommates violent murder."

"Set in London, Guilt tells the story an American in London who becomes the prime suspect in the savage murder of her roommate. As the investigation unfolds, the viewers will question whether she's a naive, young girl whose poor decisions are being magnified under the ruthless glare of the British tabloids, or whether she's a sociopath who brutally murdered her friend," the description added.

Karey Burke, ABC Family EVP for programming and development, said, "Guilt is a sophisticated, sexy and suspenseful crime epic that will have audiences captivated week-to-week."

Meanwhile, Amanda Knox wrote an opinion piece weighing in on the whole case following the murder of Meredith Kercher.

She wrote, "The notoriety of my case made me feel claustrophobic. Could I handle walking into a room full of hundreds of people who might judge me? More importantly, I was not yet exonerated."

"I had, in fact, been very recently re-convicted. Did I even belong? At first glance, the conference was not only a nerve-wracking ride I had never been on, but I didn't know if I met the height requirement."

Amanda Knox and her ex, Raffaele Sollecito, were acquitted of the murder charge over the death of Meredith Kercher by Italy's Supreme Court for lack of evidence pinning them to the crime.

"Unlike me, there are many innocent people who do not find the clear, satisfying justice of exoneration. Sometimes, a prosecutor can be made to see that there were deficiencies with a conviction, but may not believe - or want to admit - that the conviction was wrong," she added.
