Based on how both types of passages are written, I do not believe that someone could tell the difference between the two. However, knowing that the crime being described truly happened, it may change the way the reader feels about the passage and the way they interpret the different ideas that are presented. If someone knows the crime was truly committed, they might tend to feel more passionate about the crime and could side with a particular opinion that may sway the way the way the rest of the facts are presented in the book. Knowing the passage is true crime, makes the story real for the readers and I believe they will read it in a more emotional/bias way instead of looking at the true facts presented.
