Great (well not so great obviously)story - could be better told.

If you are a true crime fan like me you will really enjoy this. However there are some things that don't allow me to score this very well.

The story jumps all over the place. One minute you are in the present then you are just after the crime then you are before then back present in the blink of an eye. There is also no narration, so alot of writing over creepy jazz music and eerily familiar pictures. There is also a lot of legal terms like habeas corpus, subpoenas, interment, etc that normal viewers may not understand, it would have been. Nice for a few explanations for those people.

That being said it gets the full story across and is a really interesting and important story. I just wish it wasn't just talking heads and what really comes across as just a Wikipedia page copy and pasted onto a train track or old barn in black and white with 70s porno music.

Don't believe the fake ratings
heaze7 January 2020
The ratings must be from police or correctional officers in Missouri with fake accounts. Great story, they robbed that man of 17 years of his life. After watching over a 100 documentaries on wrongful convictions. Missouri, Mississippi, Texas , and California for someone odd reason seem to be the hotspots for this police corruption. Police paying off informants and witnesses to lie. Paperwork and evidence magically disappearing, etc etc. Imagine how many don't get caught and these men or women die in prison with there family and the public thinking there guilty.
