Making a Murderer

I finished Making a Murderer yesterday, both seasons, and I'm just… appalled and heartbroken over this story. I just cannot comprehend a world that allowed this to happen. I’m curious if others here have watched it and what your opinions are on it.

I remember that , was some pretty messed up stuff.

@Subsumedpat Absolutely. It's one of those stories that leaves you with so many questions and a sense of disbelief.

@SwiftieShutterbug And wasn't there a guy who confessed to killing Teresa Halbach after that special came out.

SwiftieShutterbug · 31-35, F

@Subsumedpat Yeah that's right though I think he wasn't ever taken seriously

@SwiftieShutterbug He was probably lying to get some money as he is doing life already. You know any officer can be a police detective, just be the one the boss picked out so many screw ups there even if they did it.

@Subsumedpat It's not just the screw-ups. It's the whole system. The bias, the planting of evidence, the pressure to get a conviction, it's all too easy for things to go wrong.

@SwiftieShutterbug It has been a while since I watched it but I remember just shaking my head wondering how many screw ups happen that we don't know about.

@Subsumedpat So true... nightmarish to consider.

@SwiftieShutterbug I saw one that was worse, it was on PBS Frontline. Death by Fire.

SwiftieShutterbug · 31-35, F

@Subsumedpat Oh no, I haven't heard of that but looking it up briefly sounds horrifying.

Subsumedpat · 36-40, M

@SwiftieShutterbug It is but you should watch it and wonder about the other mistakes.

SwiftieShutterbug · 31-35, F

@Subsumedpat Definitely gonna track it down and watch. Thanks for the tip.

Subsumedpat · 36-40, M

@SwiftieShutterbug it has been a while so it is likely online if there is nothing on the streaming places.

@Subsumedpat Yeah I'm no stranger to sailing the high seas 😁

@SwiftieShutterbug That is good, sometimes I forget not everyone gets seasick like me.
