The Amanda Knox case caused a great deal of emotion when an Italian appeals court threw out her murder conviction earlier this month, especially for Hayden Panettiere, who played the 24-year-old on the small screen. The Heroes star took on the title role in Lifetime's Amanda Knox: Murder On Trial In Italy, which is based around the brutal killing of Knox's roommate, Meredith Kercher, in Perugia, Italy in 2007, and the subsequent trial.
Knox was found guilty of the killing and sentenced to 26 years in prison in 2009, but she took the case to appeal and her conviction was quashed earlier this month.
Panettiere was watching the appeal case unfold on TV - and she hopes the 24 year old gets "a second chance at life" now she's returned to her native America.
