Has anyone watched this Netflix documentary? My partner and I powered through it over the course of two nights It certainly gets you thinking!

I read about it online, but still have not managed to give it a go.

OMG I just finished it in 2 days. I just can't. I am so angry and sad. How? How? How? I don't get how everyone is refusing a new trial. I don't know, these people must be either blind or corrupted.

Also I just saw that on twitter, it's mind blowing:

Also, I have huge doubts about Teresa's brother and ex boyfriend since the beginning, what do you guys think?

They both gave off very strange vibes. And the ex-boyfriend's actions after her disappearance were definite flags for investigation, and yet they left him alone for the most part. Very strange.

It's almost unbelievable to watch! I watched it in 2 days.
The blood DNA, the 16 year old nephew..

Tough story to swallow. I felt the documentary dragged and could've been wrapped up in about 6-8 episodes instead of 10. That aside, the story is still a powerful one. Not only does it illustrate the crooked and flawed justice system in America, it also shows how the justice system works when you are poor.

This case involved poor whites who were seemingly innocent. The Jinx documentary on Robert Durst illustrates how the justice system works when you're seemingly guilty AND rich. America is a f*cked up place to allow things like this to take place.

Both cases opened my eyes further to the injustices of poor people of color. If this is how America's justice system treats its poor white citizens, one can only imagine how it handles the ones of color. I can go on and on but I hope the appeal is accepted.

My other qualm with the documentary is that it is one sided. I wish they would have dug into the family of the girl that was killed more and explored that further.

In the filmmakers' defense, her family was asked to participate but didn't want to.
