June Steenkamp said she "shook with anger" after the BBC released a trailer for a new Oscar documentary series which failed to name her daughter, Reeva. The BBC removed the trailer after it received a barrage of criticism on social media for this appalling omission and said it regretted not referring to her by name and would replace the trailer with "something more representative of the series".
June said, "Where was the respect for Reeva, a talented, brave compassionate woman whose life Pistorius snuffed out in its prime?"
Mother of Steenkamp "shook with anger" at Pistorius documentary trailer
Yes - disgusting
Unfortunately many of these crime documentaries like to generate drama by walking the line between guilt and innocence. I find the creation of Knox as a celebrity is distasteful in the same way given the various court judgements, including the final judgement that found it likely she was at the crime scene. Her appeal as a celebrity is based on the idea she may have done it OR she is a huge victim, and Kercher is forgotten
Pistorius is exploited the same way. It is the possibility that he intentionally gunned Reeva down, which is integral to "his trials".
I do wonder what goes through these people's heads sometimes.
