Oh, come on, they've changed all the important elements which make Edith's situation hopeless...Besides her being seriously injured, they also made the duke being kind of impartial and reasonable, although he is still under the influence of the author. During the whole year Edith has been with them, he has never been kind or at least impartial when it was about Edith. Even at the execution he hasn't tried to investigate the truth of Edith's involvement. Linon, the witness, who could save Edith should be unconscious too. When Edith arrives to the execution, she is treated as a villian, no one knows that she is innocent, and Edith herself gave up the hope of survival.
