AIBU to think an Edinburgh festival show about Meredith Kercher's murder should be stopped?

Omg i just read “the swings and roundabouts” comments too…im truly aghast

Oh well done

there-is something quite virtual signal about this poster… if the women who was the victim of the biggest MOJ known to the world wants to use humour to start a dialogue about her story, who are we to say “we are not amused”, you must be sad!

Wonder how many people would, hand on heart, swap places with her to enjoy all these post wrongful conviction opportunities? I fucking wouldn't. Enjoy your telly.

As I say, each to their own. Off to watch some trash tv with dd now. Night

Oh right, you actually did mean doing the Fringe, an autobiography and interviews pretty much balance out all the things she's missed out on then?

No humour from me.

Not in this situation
But each to their own

AK would no doubt join you

Yes - take the edge of and enable dialogue

Like satire has been known to for thousands of years

Omg we are laughing…is that allowed?

😂😂😂

Oh, was that lighthearted humour? Maybe it'll hit at the Fringe.

Where on with has poster got the relish from

yea only from women - they must be weak and invisible

Hmm, maybe the pp was subject to an international misogynistic witchhunt but just not as high profile a one as Amanda Knox. If so, and she wants to do an Edinburgh Fringe show about it, far be it from me to stand in her way!

God forbid.

We demand meekness and invisibility!!!

I think our friends are more in a position to know us at the ages they were..

why does she have to stick to the US? This is an international fringe festival

the irony of this being about silencing a women who was silenced and wrongly convicted of a heinous crime a man undertook

again she’s talking of her experience of being a victim of MOJ not a victim of murder and why it happened and how she will explain that to her daughter

Notwithstanding that she can perform were ever she wants and has a willing venue and audience - given the extent of negative (appalling) press coverage she received in the UK, I would completely understand if she specifically wanted to perform in the UK.

There's also the fact that The Fringe is the largest performing arts festival and comedy festival, and comedians worldwide use it as a launchpad.

Honestly, although I give the family a lot of leeway given their trauma, I do think the claim that "Meredith would have hated the show" pretty dubious, particularly when from someone who hasn't seen the show. I think it was entirely fair for Knox to respond to that attack.

Nothing like a bit of lighthearted humour to put things right

Mmm, I dunno if this is the best example of swings and roundabouts tbh. That's usually understood to mean the one broadly balances out the other, is that the definition you're using here?

And she is making up for it with relish and humour

Like anyone would…

she has a lot of time to make up for

No, Amanda Knox's specific accusation of physical abuse was not upheld by law.The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) formally reviewed her case and explicitly rejected her claim that she was physically mistreated or slapped by the police. The court stated there was insufficient evidence to prove that the physical abuse had actually occurred.The Legal ContextWhile the court did not find proof that she was beaten, it did rule strongly against the Italian authorities regarding her overall treatment:Procedural Violations: The ECHR ruled that Italian investigators violated Knox's rights by denying her access to a lawyer and an independent translator during the interrogation.Failure to Investigate: The court penalized Italy because authorities failed to properly investigate her complaints of mistreatment.Slander Conviction Upheld: Because her claim of being physically forced into a confession was not legally validated, Italy's highest court ultimately upheld her slander conviction for falsely accusing bar owner Patrick Lumumba under pressure.

Can you categorically say the other poster hasn’t been involved I a mysogenistic witchunt?

sorry I couldn’t resist 😂

don’t know what you are arguing about (haven’t read your posts) but it seems to be about stating facts

AK has certainly embraced the opportunities that have been made available to her as a result.

Swings and roundabouts the saying goes

Why keep saying it, then?

Someone speculated that "she could have done anything" career-wise.

AsHot felt that speculation dubious

You are speculating that she wouldn't be performing at the Fringe were it not for her notoriety (again, I'm minded to agree).

Fundamentally, you're accusing someone of speculating when they challenged someone else for speculating, then making your own speculations.
