So many older crimes were "solved" with incomplete evidence and the assumptions and coercion of investigators who needed to make the community feel "safe," political involvement that needs the community's support, and so little scientific, logical, or factual proof. I went back and forth watching the first episode because of his "confession", but after seeing details of extended players in this case (suspects, police, family, clarification of the circumstances of the evidence gathered and not considered), I thought it was pretty clear (without spoilers here). Very interesting and once again scary to me how justice and closure are so intertwined and also so polar opposite. Reading review ratings here complaining of release date vs dna results etc, I think they're missing the point of long overdue questions vs trying to beat the clock on people passing away that were involved. Really good doc, interesting and sad story. Adds to my opinion of how truly scary violent crime is and how sketchy convictions and evidence can be.
