...Video footage from the crime scene of British student Meredith Kercher's murder flickers on a laptop screen as Bremner points out what she deems critical flaws in the collection of evidence. After placing rulers on the sides of a bloody shoeprint, for example, a blue-rubber-gloved hand reaches down with a piece of white cloth and scrubs the bloody mark off the tile floor before putting the cloth into an evidence tube. This happens three times for three separate footprints. In film footage taken at least a day later, another team of investigators attempts, using photographs, to place...
Contamination was also likely with the DNA found on Kercher's bra clasp, Bremner says, pointing out that the clasp wasn't collected until more than two months after the murder and that throughout film footage of the crime scene investigation it periodically changes location - suggesting it was picked up and moved several times.

...Written by Peter Stone from John Godey's novel and directed by Joseph Sargent, the movie mixed thriller elements with rancid comedy to create a tarnished time capsule of Gotham crime, sludge and cynicism.

The transit hierarchy is clogged with wise guys. "What the hell do they expect for their lousy 35 cents?" one executive says of the subway hostages. "To live forever...
...Today the fare is $2, and New York, which has the lowest crime rate of any large U.S. city, is the center of another national trauma: the financial crisis. But the subways run so efficiently, and their lurid reputation has retreated so far, that few people complain about anything except the next fare increase. A remake of Pelham One Two Three can duplicate the 1974 film's thriller ingredients: the criminal mastermind, the clock ticking toward certain doom, the runaway train, the ordinary man tapped for a suicidal mission. It just can't locate those conventions in a milieu with...
...Friday, in six hours of testimony, Knox finally spoke for herself, after a year and a half of silence and media speculation on the likely motives for the crime. She accused Italian police of hitting her and repeatedly calling her a "stupid liar," bullying her into a false statement on the fifth night after the murder she has been charged with. She reeled out what she said was an imagined tale of what "might have happened," placing herself with her British roommate Meredith Kercher on the night Kercher's throat was slit in the picturesque cottage they shared overlooking...
