Making a Murderer

I stand by my statement. Did you see Making a Murderer?

Yes, I saw the whole series.

Stand wherever you'd like, the judicial system North of the border has it's flaws and problems as well.

There is a clip in one of the last episodes where one of the defence attorneys speaks on the failings and problems with the U.S. system. A good number of the points he raised are applicable in Canada.

The one thing not seen in Canada - which I think played a big part in the convictions of both accused in the series - is the media gong show. Not just the reporting, but the way the media is used by both the prosecution and defence, both before and during a trial. As one of the attorneys mentioned, you only need to be accused, and you will never live your life as before.

The "media gong show" was one of my biggest issues with this entire case. You can look into prior cases (Sheppard v. Maxwell, 384 U.S. 333 (1966)) where the media bias was so large convictions were overturned and cases sent back down to the trial court for a new trial. Granted, both sides in this case used the media.
 
I burned through the whole thing in a day. I'm torn between believing the narrative and the amount evidence that was found.

I think the evidence....or the lack of it pointed to a miscarriage. The illegal search of the trailer which was much longer than usual, revealed no blood and gave the cops ample time to plant things like the car keys.
 
I burned through 18 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Was it produced by Jerry Springer?
 
I am copy/pasting something I wrote during a convo with a friend.

There's too much weird stuff. He wouldn't start burning the body in one place and then move it to his backyard. He wouldn't just stash the car in the lot when he could have taken it anywhere or even crushed it. Having an auto trader magazine and a bill of sale in the trailer doesn't mean she was in there (HELLO. They run a fucking salvage yard full of cars. They buy old cars and sell parts. It's not that weird to have an auto trader magazine). He was like the happiest dude, planning to get married. He's not gonna rape and kill a random girl when he's out of prison after 18 years, gettin married soon, and probably getting a big fat check in the next year or so

Do you like the show? I get bored with medical dramas.

Nurse Jackie is decent - it doesn't focus as much on the medical side as it does the fact her life is a total train wreck. I don't think I've watched the past two seasons, just other things to watch/do.

And Edie Falco's character is far different in Nurse Jackie than Sopranos. I think she does both well though.

I don't have Netflix at the moment (might have to use a friend's log in to watch because this is sooo much the crap that I am enthralled with). But in one of those - "That's so weird because Clowns was just talking about this" moments, this popped up on my trending on Facebook thingy...

Interesting.....but it's his nephew Brandon that was so taken advantage of. He is borderline mentally deficient and they just led him on, confused him even more. Poor kid.
 
I watched the first five episodes yesterday and wondered how/why they had all the contemporaneous film footage of discussions, phone calls, critical events that are central to the Producer's point of view, etcetera.


It's like porn that says it's amateur, but has a camera operator.
