Yikes. If you're into sketchy detectives/prosecutors convicting innocent people and sending them to death row (in Oklahoma, nonetheless), this series is for you. Originally a John Grisham nonfiction, this documentary serves as a frightening example of how easy it can be to convict innocent people.
I know I'm a bit behind here, as this was released in December, but it's enthralling. Any one else watch this/read the book? [Reply]

Every documentary I've watched that was produced by Netflix has been interesting. Seems like its something they do well. I'll check this one out. [Reply]
Watched firsr two episodes. I would have found them all guilty too. But I have a feeling they will poker more holes in everything as they progress in episodes [Reply]

It's insane how many people have been convicted through microscopic hair analysis and misunderstandings of what it actually shows (if anything). It's similarly crazy that DNA analysis wasn't the norm until the 90s. [Reply]
I'm too Episode 5 now and it's pretty mind blowingly bizarre and likely criminal what happened to these guys. I imagine it's much easier for corruption to reign free in small police divisions compared to larger ones. [Reply]
