Damn man no happy endings in this show at all.
Way those 8 n H children were all done for the murder, one of kids had special needs and interviewed alone.
Not even appeal recently helped

hearing bruh say the first couple months he was raped
shyt bothered me...turned that shyt smooth off
the nonchalant attitude about your manhood being stripped
and dude said it with a smile on his face
prayers go out to that brother

Finally watched it all....crazy stuff.
I couldn't fathom confessing to a crime I did not commit. But there's a lot of dumb, weak people out there. Plus many people have this trust and reverence for the cops, so it's sad to see them get caught up like that. DON'T TALK TO THE POLICE, LAWYER UP. It's ingrained in my head, whether I'm innocent or not. It's easy to see why people, especially innocent people, think it's best to try to just clear there name with the cops but our justice system doesn't work that way.
I'm convinced the two boys from the first story are innocent. That story is so fukked up on multiple levels. First, it's crazy that evidence obtained illegally by the laws of this country can be used against them simply cuz it was legal in the country they were in. We've outlawed those tactics for a reason, and it's that same reason that should have led to their 'confessions' being disallowed. Second, it was grimy as fukk how they leaned on the Japanese cat. Not only forcing him to testify, but pretty much making it seem like he had to corroborate the state's story in order to get out of trouble with his employer. And finally, the fact that they ignored possibly credible leads from some reputable sources all because they had keyed in on who they thought did it. This is the worst part about many of these cases. Simply because they're invested in one suspect or because the lead investigator has a hunch, they ignore very plausible alternatives, alternatives that could lead to convictions if investigated.
The 8NH crew was sad as fukk. Coach a retatard into saying whatever you want him to say and then leaning on 19 year old kids to get them to confess. Yet another case where they ignored a plausible alternative simply because they were invested in the targets they had.
The lady burning her daughter didn't make any sense to me. How did she set a fire then go to all those places before the fire got noticed by anyone? At any rate, this was a classic case of someone thinking the cops were her friends. I don't think you have this problem as much in cities, but in these small towns people are quite vulnerable to this. Suicide seems most likely. Burning down your own house just makes no sense. Even if you were so mad that you wanted to kill your daughter, why destroy your property? Didn't even try to make it seem like an accident.
The dude who confessed to witnessing his uncle get shot was crazy too. He seemed like a mentally weak person the way he allowed the cop to turn the snake into a metaphor and shyt. It's crazy that the dude he says killed his uncle was never even tried! Almost certainly cuz he refused to talk to the police (apparently refused to talk to the film makers either, tho I don't recall them mentioning this). Message!
The dude who confessed 3 times it's easy to see how he was convicted. It's hard to ask a jury to overlook that. Not as sure of his innocence, but the doubt does seem reasonable, thanks to the hair and the bloody bill found on the victim. The "witness" also did him in. He claims she came the night before the murder, not the night of. My main problem with that, is by her withholding that statement for 5+ years it gave neither authorities nor the defense any opportunity to verify/disprove her claims. The lawyer boxed her into a corner asking why she never came forward with it, but again, those three confessions including one on television got her out of that corner. Easy to see how a jury would accept that...she just figured he confessed and that was that.
The guy driving his family into the lake was the greyest one for me in terms of guilt. But the story is still f'd up. How could the judge be smart enough to see that the confession was real and rule it inadmissible but be foolish enough to allow the media to view it BEFORE the trial began?
. Then after seeing the media sensationalism and having a jury full of people who admit to knowing about the case, how could you not change the venue? If not then, when is a change of venue warranted?
Law enforcement will likely say that leaning on people to get confessions (through deceit and exhaustion tactics) is an important tool towards getting the guilty to admit to horrible crimes they would rather not admit to. And I'd agree, but there needs to be some protocols in place to distinguish between a confession and someone just saying what they think you want them to say so that the interrogation will end. Especially in cases where you have nothing without the confession (word to the guy convicted of killing his uncle). It's crazy, cuz when details of the suspect's story change while he's denying culpability it causes the officers to be suspicious. But when details of the suspect's story change as he confessing, they just sweep it under the rug. Same phenomena happens when details don't match the other evidence in the case. For the suspect denying culpability, those inconsistencies raise red flags, for the suspect confessing it's overlooked.

This show is really good.
Each episode is very suspenseful.
I am not sure which episode I am at (the one with the father who drove his car into the river)
My opinion in spoiler
