I know they can sway the program to either side, but I came away from the show thinking it was a case of the wrong guy getting convicted. I can't tell you all the evidence or anything like that, been too long since I watched it, but I do remember thinking he didn't do it. Guess it doesn't matter much if he isn't eligible for another 15 years, but what a travesty it would be if he were innocent and someone has gotten away with these murders all these years.
Please don't start flaming me saying how could I believe that. I'm just stating my opinion. I'd have to review the case info again to see if what I remember feeling is accurate.
Miles,
I think I know the doc to which you refer. If that were my first intro to the case I would think MacDonald innocent, too. No need for flames.
The program depended heavily on hearsay regarding claims made by a mentally ill person. And her drug-addict boyfriend.
But it all sounded quite reasonable as presented.
