Just watching Weger's interviews was enough. It's easy to recognize. You see, normal everyday people don't think like criminals, and yet, many apply those standards to them when evaluating their actions and words. It's not only silly, it's what the criminals rely on. Thugs & deviants almost never give the full story - even once they happen to confess. Of course it was sexual in nature which is exactly why Weger lied about it. Getting over on the Cops about that (or believing he did) was no doubt another source of thrill for this sick monster.
If the authorities continued to press there can be no doubt they would have gotten more and more information. That would probably include who ever else was there and/or anyone else who knew about it. And by that time, of course, Weger would have been shifting the blame to them. Here the police stopped short believing they simply had all they needed for a conviction.
Anyway, I guess the style of this documentary was to lead the viewer toward the "Weger was innocent" path then reveal towards the end that he probably wasn't? For what purpose exactly I have no idea. A good doc is neutral, gives the background, both sides, all the facts, and leaves the crew's emotions out of it.
