This is a controversial case around the world, not just in America.  Many people in the UK (including me) believe that in time, the proceedings so far will prove to have been a major miscarriage of justice and UK newspapers are increasingly reporting it as such e.g. London Evening Standard - 14-10-10.  The case is notable, not just as another  murder, but for the breathtakingly incompetent nature of the investigation and for the internet wide sociological phenomena of a modern day 'witch hunt' pursued by those who think that Knox and Sollecito are guilty.  The entry above illustrates this.  The introduction of racism into the debate is unnecessary.  The protagonists need to be judged on evidence.  Implying that race is a factor is arguably inflammatory and seeks to divert attention from the evidence.  It is a good idea for Wikepedia to seek to present as full a picture of the proceedings as possible including the post trial phenomena of internet trolling on the subject.  Legal proceedings are ongoing and a second trial is about to start so this story is far from over.
