Now that Amanda Knox is home and acquitted of all charges in the Meredith Kercher case, it's time to re-release the movie made about her. 

According to my research (I've been following this case obsessively), the movie  "Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy" is being updated and will be playing tomorrow in honor of her being home. You'll have to catch it on Lifetime's channel. 

I can't imagine that anyone who is actually close to the Knox or Kercher family even likes this, but for the rest of the world, it's a neatly-packed summary of what happened (sort of). I haven't yet seen the movie, but perhaps I will. I understand that it raised some controversy and made the Kercher family quite mad, because they think it was slanted in favor of Knox - who they were sure was an accomplice to their daughter's murder at the time. 

I'm not so sure. I mean, yeah, she had some inconsistent stories in the beginning, but would you be perfectly poised if your buddy roommate just got murdered in your home and YOU were being accused of it. My heart truly goes out to the Kercher family, I can't imagine the pain and sadness they must feel that there daughter is not only gone, but there are still questions left unanswered. 

However, being happy about Knox being home is not a cardinal sin either. I mean, she's got to be sad about it too - she lived with the woman for months and even hung out. Wasn't Kercher in Knox's company at a concert when Knox met her boyfriend? 

I think for the moment, it's okay to feel glad that the un-guilty are free and at home where they deserve to be. I can only imagine that the next few days she will be re-familiarizing herself with her freedom, her hometown and the world in general again. Same with her ex-boyfriend, I hear when he returned home he just spent time walking around the house reconnecting with everything in his home. It's like you entered your old life, one you thought was gone for good.

Makes you really appreciate your life, eh?
