I tried watching it again. It was after hearing the hoopla about all the evidence that was "left out". I was trying to see if the producers were deliberately using voodoo mind control. I saw nothing that wasn't fact based, actual footage of events.
It definitely did have an undeniable emotional impact. Seeing the actual faces, hearing the agonizing and sometimes desperate voices, of the real people who's lives were being destroyed, as well as the cold, defensive voices those who were callously destroying them;
Hearing Brendan's voice urgently asking his mom, "What does inconsistent mean", and the total humility in her voice as she replies, "Well, I don't know";
seeing Colburn's face, and actual demeanor, on the stand. If that guy was on the up & up, why did he look like he just **** his pants, over a simple question about the plate number call;
Watching KK enjoying, nay, beyond enjoying, slowly savoring each gruesome detail of the fictitious murder of TH. That was, brutal in away, no words in print could ever convay;
Seeing the pain of TH's Mom, It's little wonder why she so willing to accept any closure she was offered;
Hearing the female officer, assisting in a search of SA's home, laughing and suggesting they could frame him for any unsolved B&E's with shoes in his closet. Beyond dishonorable behavior...
So I am glad I got to see this intimate portrait, of wrongful convictions, that plays out in so many cases that we just don't hear about, (but we do know happens All. The. Time!
I refuse to be *shamed* for having watched Mam. You will never see me apologeticly admitting that I did.
I watched it and then I set about deliberately trying to change my own mind, about their guilt, with every available resource, and I and I could. Not. Do. it. Reguardless of whether or not they have watched MaM nine times, or never watched it at all, people are coming to the same conclusion. But there will always be a few...
definitely could not sit through that again.
I agree with everything you said here.
Making a Murderer was not a documentary about the Murder of TH.
It is about the relative ease with which one can be framed for a murder. Hence the name- Making....A....Murderer
All it takes is dishonest people in positions of authority with a motive to do so.
If Lenk, Colbourn, and Remiker (among a couple others) had stayed away from this case completely and the same evidence was found there wouldn't have been such a documentary to make and therefore a spotlight would not have been put upon this case.
But, if they had stayed away. That evidence wouldn't have been found now would it?
And of course once the spotlight is on and ppl are p'd off that such corruption could take place they start digging and more corruption and abuse of authority comes to light.
The truth always comes to light. And those that want to keep truth in the dark are the ones we should be most suspicious of. JMO
