Talk:Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy

Plot section

A plot section needs to be added, describing events as portrayed in the film. I think the film spans from the murder up to the end of the 1st part of the Knox/Sollecito trial, ending on December 4, 2009. -Wikid77 19:13, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Differences section

Here is an article for expanding the differences section.[1] LedRush (talk) 22:59, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

I've cut this section back. Far too much material taken from a single op-ed, and a lot of the material was not contained in the source. Od-ed sources should be treated with caution, so care should be taken where such sources contradict news reports or other sources. For example, the op-ed states that the body was not moved following the murder, but there is a sourced statement in our article on the murder that it was. --FormerIP (talk) 02:31, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

These come from two sources, and the abc news one is not an op ed. Please discuss before making mass removals like this, which look more like vandalism than appropriate editing.LedRush (talk) 05:56, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Here is a third source (also CBS news, but a different author) about the differences between the movie and reported events. They substantiate all that is currently in the section and add some more for further expansion of this section. [2]

Text disputed by Ian

The article reads:

"The film indicates that the police had found Kercher's DNA on the tip of the blade of a knife. In fact, Kercher's DNA was found on the dull side of the blade."

The source states:

"Movie: Police forensic scientist Patrizia Stefanoni says there is DNA of both Knox and Kercher on the knife the prosecution alleges is the murder weapon. Stefanoni's character says Knox's DNA is on the handle and Kercher's "is on the tip of the blade." Fact: The DNA of Kercher - which was not blood DNA - was found mid way on the dull side of the blade."

The current text of the article is accurate and clearly follows what the source says. Instead of deleting the whole statement (and the source), perhaps people have a suggestions on how to make it better?LedRush (talk) 09:36, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

The source cited as linked is http://abcnews.go.com/US/faction-fiction-amanda-knox-lifetime-movie/story?id=12969134. That is not on that page, as far as I can see. Ian Spackman (talk) 10:20, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Um, it's on the second page of the article. Did you seriously stop reading after only one example? Even after I pointed out that the info was there? Twice?LedRush (talk) 10:33, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Errr…I’m afraid I read the page cited, not some other page. Perhaps, now you prompt me, the citation should be to http://abcnews.go.com/US/faction-fiction-amanda-knox-lifetime-movie/story?id=12969134&page=2 , or to some some subsequent page? Ian Spackman (talk) 10:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I have already changed the citation. Generally, in a news article like this, you don't need to cite to the specific page as the article is exceedingly short and anyone who can read knows that it continues, especially as it explicitly says that it continues. When others tell you the info is there, twice, that's another good hint that you're not reading.LedRush (talk) 10:51, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting the citation. Ian Spackman (talk) 11:02, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

The defense disputed that the substance included Kercher's DNA, citing experts who claimed it was rye bread. As such, I have softened the original statement to make it clearer that it was only the prosecution claiming it was Kercher's DNA. I left the main point, which was that regardless of what the substance actually was, it was found on the dull side of the blade. Mdfst13 (talk) 03:44, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Maresca

"Knox's lawyer, Francesco Maresca, has said they were unhappy the film had been made. "It is inopportune as the trial is still on going with two further appeals".[9] Lawyers for Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend formally demanded that Lifetime scrap this film about their trial." Maresca is the Kercher family lawyer not Knox's. Issymo (talk) 05:48, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I've corrected that.TMCk (talk) 11:49, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
