CUTTING EDGE TV REVIEWS (2#) -
Meredith Kercher Murder Case -

Gerard O'Donovan reviewed the UK CH4 show:

"We still know nothing with precision. We have no motive and don’t even have a dynamic of the crime," said Meo Ponte, chief crime correspondent of the Italian daily La Repubblica, who dismissed the scenario put forward by the investigating magistrate in Perugia as "fiction."

But, at least, the case is selling a lot of newspapers and other media. And, regardless of his reservations, O'Donovan described it as an "engrossing documentary."

Sam Wollaston watched it, too, and his reaction was:

"God, I hope I never get murdered in Italy."

Did we miss out on anything here on this side of the Pond? Maybe we missed out on Sociology Professor Ferrarotti, who sounds like a real character.

Look, this case has everything going for it: atmospheric environment of a medieval city; dark shapes floating through its streets in dominos, masks, and disguises; and a mysterious mushroom caught in the throat of the victim which she did not eat for dinner.

And, by the way, what did they use to transport
the 8-inch knife - a guitar case? Just wondering.

Ah, so many loose ends... I hope that after the hearing on Saturday this case recedes into the background until the trial, because it really is a strain on everyone.
