Apparent bias in the presentation of the article?

The entry reads as if it were written by the London Innocence Project/Geen's defense team. While it should obviously cover the appeal, the terse description of the actual crime, the use of the passive voice, and other aspects of the description basically make it sound as if Geen were an innocent bystander who just happened to get arrested for these deaths. Also, the very limited amount of space given to the crime and trial v. the space given to the appeal makes the article appear to be advocating the perspective that Geen is wrongfully accused at the expense of the notion that he may have committed the crimes. It is not Wikipedia's job to take a position -- it is supposed to serve as a repository of facts. I think the pre-appeal section needs beefing up and rewriting in addition to citation, which is needed everywhere. Marguerite de Navarre (talk) 19:30, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I think that the prosecution case needs to be outlined in more detail, and more attention should be given to the conduct of the trials and the role of the media. Richard Gill (talk) 12:58, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

"Research shows that medical workers who are given such nicknames by others are often later found to have harmed patients"

Research also shows that such medical workers are later found to have been innocent. About 10% of convictions of a nurse for serial killings, when the nurse has always claimed to have been innocent, later turn out to have been miscarriages of justice. And that's only counting the cases when a re-opening of the case does actually happen. "The system" has a lot of ways to obstruct that ever happening.
