April 30th marks the date for Diane Sawyer's ABC Prime Time long-awaited interview with Amanda Knox in tandem with the release of her new book, a story of her wrongful arrest, conviction and fight for freedom from an Italian prison. Some of you know by reading my magazine that I was one of many American's who fought in any way possible to free this girl and her Italian boyfriend, and on the day of her declaration of innocence I sat on the floor and sobbed as if she was one of my own children. She deserves to have her story heard, especially by nasty women of "The View" who could have hurt her case by their insensitive and damaging statements. I hope the actress HAYDEN PANETTIERE (now playing the nasty self-serving 'wanna be' that she seems to be on the TV Series Nashville) who portrayed Amanda in a Life Moments film pryor to her second trial will watch this interview because what she did to get star power for helself could have aided the Italian prosecutor in keeping this innocent young woman and her boyfriend in prison for life. I pray Amanda is able to overcome this tragic nightmare and live the remainder of her life in love.
