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

[VivienneDelacroix]

Aibu to think that this show at the Edinburgh Festival should be cancelled? It mocks the circumstances around the murder of Meredith Kercher and serves it up as entertainment.

Not only is it horribly disrespectful of Meredith's family, but it also belittles the issue of violence against girls and women.

Meredith's siblings are calling for it to be pulled from the festival. There is also a petition calling for it to be stopped.

I do think it’s ok for her to put the show on, and I do actually think art can be justified in even the more distasteful or disrespectful forms.

however the one thing that gives me pause is why she is doing this in Britain. Meredith was British. The situation took place in Italy. Amanda is American. She could’ve taken this to any context festival around the world. Edinburgh does seem odd

Save your rage for the fact that Rudy Guede only served 13 years for what he did and is already out,albeit facing new charges from an ex from three years ago.
Thirteen years.

I would, however, sign any petition that calls for not naming your daughter Eureka...😉

It's always the Amanda show. I won't change my mind but my own personal view I don't believe she's innocent. Regardless of my personal view, I don't think this should go ahead.

I believe AN was innocent and there was a terrible miscarriage of justice because she was a slightly awkward woman who dared to have sex toys and was treated like the devil for it. I believe she was even referred to as a she devil.

Shes not very likeable unfortunately but she does have the right to tell her side.

There was never any actual evidence to say she killed Meredith and someone else actually confessed. Baffles me why people think she’s guilty tbh.

Abhorrent, that is the perfect word. Fully agree with what you wrote.

And you have some evidence of her guilt? Something not available to the courts? Not considered by the courts?

I’ve signed the petition.

Fully entitled to my view. You don't have to agree. I find her very unhinged. There are many reasons I don't believe she is fully innocent. I don't wish to talk in detail about the case.

So you're happy to claim an innocent woman is guilty? Because of unspecified reasons?

I mean she obviously is 😂

Not spending my morning back and forth with a stranger on the internet. I don't need to explain myself. I'm fully entitled to my view, just as you are to yours.

Evidence?

YANBU.

Amanda Knox is a disgrace.

I find her weird and unpleasant (and I'm far from alone in that one). She's milked her story and already made enough profit from it in my opinion. Meredith's family are still very much alive and it is a very recent tragedy. Imagine Lucy Letby being released and doing a stand up show at the Fringe.

I mean you didn't need to post something you can't back up on a forum devoted to back and forths with strangers either, but here we all are.

So you can't explain, got it

The poster has made it clear she has no evidence, is happy to say Amanda is guilty without any, and doesn’t want to discuss it with you. You’re wasting your time

And yet Mn is full of people who enthusiastically consume equally ‘distasteful’ true crime tv shows, podcasts etc.

Im surprised so many people have never heard of it. It was all over the news at the time. Literally front page.

I'm sorry, I thought you meant you thought she was guilty.

Agree its a waste of time with those specific posters. But lots of people read MN, and with something as important as MOJs, its good to spell out when someone is entirely full of shit.

She’s not guilty. She was entirely exonerated.
You can’t just make things up.

Go away! I fully explained myself. Don't wish to talk with you! I explained why.

You are talking with her.

No I was answering your (disingenuous) question
