Watched it over the weekend. Have spent the last 2 days reading more about it including forums with tons of back and forth between lawyers and investigators giving their opinions. There are a few things that weren't included in the doc, and i guess the complete videos of the interrogations are available to watch, and apparently they don't look quite as bad as they show in the doc.
You have to always remember that any documentary will be written from one point of view, regardless of its attempts to be unbias. That is almost unavoidable given different parties agreeing to, or not wanting to, be part of it.
At the end of the day, regardless of whether you think they are did it or not, there seems to be overwhelming evidence that should at least give them a new trial in a different jurisdiction. I mean, for fuck sakes 2 of the jurors had clear conflicts of interest, and those were 2 of the 3 who strong armed the 7 who were saying not guilty into changing their minds. The prosecution did not prove beyond all reasonable doubt that they did it. And so much of the evidence provided was either proven, or strongly suspected of being bullshit, including both cops lying under oath, and collusion from Brendans lawyer with the prosecution. The problem is, now Steve blew his whole wad on the first defense, he would have no hope with an appointed attorney.
Theres just so much fuckery in the whole thing. You couldn't write a story that complicated if you wanted to.
And Teresa's brother is a phaggot.
