The documentary shows the naivety and blunders of French police and public. I keep having the name Inspector Clouseau entering my head. They have DNA from dead women from the serial killer. The system in France rejects the idea of having DNA samples kept in order to catch or clear suspects, at that time.
When the case goes to court they have the right man and his DNA, and his complete confession to a police officer (which wasn't recorded?) etc Still there was, doubt he would be convicted.
His guilt was then without doubt when the prosecutor tripped him up and he became enraged.
After sentencing, and he only got a 22 year minimum, his lawyers and even the mother of a victim had misguided sympathy for him, saying he would be reformed.
Don't French people know that serial killers don't change. If you let him out he will almost certainly take up where he left.
I was so frustrated by the foolishness I saw.
The story was well presented I must agree.
