released on probation
Virginia’s official records show Jens Söring was released on parole, not probation, in November 2019.
Full reasoning
Virginia’s own Parole Board records identify Jens Söring’s 2019 release as regular parole. In the Board’s November 2019 decision report, Söring is listed with case type “Regular Parole” and decision “Grant.” The Board’s explainer page also distinguishes parole from other forms of supervision and says that after the Board grants parole, the inmate serves the remainder of the sentence under community supervision.
So the article’s wording is incorrect here: Söring was paroled, not placed on probation.

Following the Board's decision to grant an inmate parole, the inmate must agree to abide by specific conditions in return for the opportunity to serve the remainder of his or her sentence under supervision in the community.
was reproduced and publicized in the United States by AMC Theatres, in collaboration with Amanda Knox's true crime podcast, The Truth About True Crime.
This misidentifies both the company and the format. The podcast was launched by SundanceTV/Sundance Now, not AMC Theatres, and it was Amanda Knox’s own SundanceTV podcast series.
Full reasoning
The available primary sources do not support the claim that AMC Theatres publicized the podcast. AMC’s own support page says AMC Networks is not affiliated with AMC movie theaters. Separately, AMC Global Media’s 2019 press release states that SundanceTV and Sundance Now launched The Truth About True Crime with Amanda Knox, and that the podcast would cover documentary series including Killing for Love. Amanda Knox’s own site likewise describes The Truth About True Crime as a podcast “with SundanceTV” and lists “Season 3: Killing for Love.”
So this sentence incorrectly attributes the podcast to AMC Theatres and inaccurately describes it as a collaboration with Amanda Knox’s podcast, when The Truth About True Crime with Amanda Knox was itself the relevant podcast series.
