While there has been some good work done on this article, it is still quite a ways from GA quality. Due to this, I am failing the article's nomination for GA status. Some specific thoughts:


 * The lead is not long enough, per WP:LEAD. It needs to be at least a full paragraph, which summarizes the body of the article without presenting new information.
 * The article is significantly under-referenced, with some entire sections lacking references. The first three sections of the article have a total of two references, and one of these sections is completely unreferenced.
 * Quotes are a huge thing that need referencing. The quotations section and the quote at the end of the pop culture section are both lacking references.
 * The trial section needs to be expanded. How did she plead? What were her arguments if she plead non-guilty (as I'm assuming she did, as she went through a full trial and sentencing)?
 * The quotations section should be integrated into a narrative which describes why these specific quotes are important, and they must be referenced.
 * Do we have an update to the Trial billing section? It says that the attorney attempted to have the bill written off, but doesn't say if he was successful. Who ended up paying for this?
 * Do we have an update to the Post-trial lawsuit section? What was the result of the lawsuit?
 * IMDB is not a reliable source for "positive reviews" of the film.
 * The movie poster is a fair-use image, and does not have a non-free media rationale for this article. I'm not sure there is a case for having this image in the article, given that, in my opinion, the reader's understanding is not affected by whether or not they see this poster.

This article is a good start on the topic, but needs expansion, referencing and other general work before it is of GA status. Please let me know if you have any questions, Dana boomer (talk) 17:35, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
