Loved this series and I hope they follow it up, but I have to take it with a grain of salt. I'm thinking the film-makers left out a lot. With a lot of things in life, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Spoiler!
I don't think they showed enough of the state's argument, I have a hard time thinking they would convict someone on the evidence they showed, not to mention the turned down appeals. The fact that they included the 'sexting scandal" of the prosecution, in my opinion, had nothing to do with the case, but painted the prosecution in a bad light, which is another tool they used to sway viewers opinion. I get it though, it's a movie, and that's gold. I think anyone who watches the movie is persuaded to think that this was a major injustice, (and maybe it was) but I just have a really hard time swallowing that amount of evidence (or lack-there-of) and incompetence would result in a "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt verdict," even OJ got off on less. It was brilliantly crafted, at times you think "oh maybe he did do it" then it would sway you the other way, back and forth, really great film-making, but the truth and film-making are 2 different things and I think we should all keep that in mind.
