First line is loaded with POV, and its permeated the rest of the article to some extent. SGGH 22:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

This was a notable case however, and isn't "totally and utterly pov" on the tag as many of the pertinent facts are included. an objective article on the topic wouldnt hurt any. or possibly better, a mention here: [[1]]

There is no article on Wikipedia I have seen in a while that is more heavilly POV-written then this. ≈ The Haunted Angel ^{(The Forest Whispers My Name)} 23:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

The New York Times story about Purvis, cited in the article, opens with "A schizophrenic man served nine years in prison for a double murder that he did not commit and now, with the arrest of two new suspects, has been freed by the State of Florida." Does that also seem POV? It matches what the article says, as does the book cited. Inkpaduta 21:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
