Native Americans have had voting rights since long before my dear departed Cherokee great-grandmother was born.

Overturning the convictions would've been a travesty of justice absent some proof of some vast conspiracy to fabricate the existing bodies of evidence which implicate the convicted. The Alford plea deal on the other hand was a reasonable compromise given the unique and complex circumstances of...

And that's exactly my point about lack of evidence regarding the claims of animal predation. Spitz puts those scrape marks on the screen and asserted: But Spitz provided no examples of claws which are consistent with those wounds, and I've yet to find any elsewhere either. I'm willing to learn...

Human, specifically the notion that these wounds Stevie Branch's forehead are a bite mark from Terry Hobbs. Where exactly can one find this "plenty" which you allude to? Yet to rightly determine whose conclusions are correct in that matter one would first have to actually examine the specific...

Berlinger professed subjectivity explicitly in what I quoted from him in my previous post, and his pudding proves full of exactly that. Also what you quoted from Wikipedia isn't rightly its definition of documentary film, but rather simply a statement from a film critic who apparently has little...

It was Spitz at Echols' 2007 press conference who explicitly stated "None of the injuries were caused during life" before going on to make vague claims of animal predation, and Souviron followed suggesting only animal predation as well. Then later in the Q&A section Spitz clarified "I think they...

BBM And again, that's where the experts claiming animal predation fall short, they've not offered the evidence along with assistance interpreting it to substantiate their conclusions, but rather vague assertions regarding what little of the wounds they have shown and the many they haven't...

Actual documentary filmmakers make a conscious effort to objectively document facts, while Berlinger and Sinofsky had completely different designs, as the former explained in this old interview "Hopefully what the film is doing, and why I feel OK about the subjectivity, is that we're going for a...

You're not really weighing anyone's opinions there, just expressing your impressions of indivduals. Besides, I agree with your characterizations of Peretti and Griffis, and might do the same regarding the other person as well if I knew who you were alluding to. But again, I don't rightly care...

Berlinger and Sinofsky certainly captured many people's attention with the emotional impact of flashing the boys' naked corpses across the screen and what followed. But again, that's also what prompted me to turn the movie off just a few minutes in, before ever learning anything about the case...

I'm always happy to adopt the conclusions of those who substantiate them. I'm just not one espouse opinions on faith, regardless of the standing of those pronouncing them. Besides, there's plenty of others here who selectively disregard the expert proclamations of animal predation being...

I wouldn't be surprised if people who've been wrongly convicted of murder have become lawyers, or even some rightly convinced but who've long since repented and changed their ways, I just doubt that anyone who claims to have been wrongly convicted but never came anywhere close to proving as much...

It's not imagery itself which upsets me, as I respect that for what's evidenced in it. My issue is with the way clips from the crime scene footage were edited together and set to music, as that's bound to upset all but the few sick freaks who take pleasure in such things, in turn hampering the...

That's just what that segment reminded me of when I saw it, not a claim regarding what motivated the creation of it.

People believing the Earth was at the center of our planetary system isn't really an accent matter, it was a popular consensus just a few hundred years ago. It wasn't really new evidence which disproved it either, as the phases of Venus are viable enough with the naked eye for those who cared to...
