HOLY CARP!!!

A documentary cashing in on the popularity of Serial season 1. "Proving" a convicted man innocent is big business. It really tugs at people, who want to feel part of something heroic. The subject of Serial season 1 is almost certainly guilty, in my mind. (Of strangling a beautiful 16 year old girl.) Beyond a reasonable doubt. Apparently this Netflix documentary left out key evidence in its effort to frame its convicted murderer as innocent. A network, of all things, NBC I think, is actually doing a "rebuttal" piece which'll provide that missing evidence. I guess they don't like the whole online thing encroaching on their territory, and will sacrifice their social justice credentials to fight back a little. The case happened in the heart of Packers country, so the doc got some attention on some local sports podcasts I listen to. Even the ultra-liberal variety of hosts called it less documentary than "advocacy journalism". That's something. But then, they have their own territory to protect. I mean, their listeners, and their community. I suspect this guy's guilty, too, but I haven't finished the doc yet. (That voice over is ANNOYING. Watch the first 5 minutes of the first episode and you'll know what I mean. It's like that the whole way!) Sad that the power of the media can't actually find a convict who's demonstrably innocent. I mean, sad for them. Great thing for our justice system. |

We've been watching it but the pace is so slow I Googled for the end result before finishing the series. I may watch the rest of it, may not. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I heard the prosecutor on the radio the other day. He was quite convincing in the evidence presented. It would be pretty far fetched to belive it cooked up. |

That would be the prosecutor who resigned in disgrace after a sex scandal a few years after the trial. Horace - what is the piece in of evidence that was suppressed? |

I dunno, you'll have to watch the networks. I only know that the internetz has it that the dude is actually a murderer. |

But you guys say sex scandals dont matter. Private business, right? There's a GKSR for that. |
