This is a very good post, thanks.
My wife and I binge watch this series last week, and I echo many of the thoughts and comments already posted here.
But what this documentary series really emphasised for me was the terrifying fragility of the US justice system. I don't watch courtroom proceedings on television, and have virtually no experience with them beyond what I know from film and television dramas. I have to say, watching how entrenched the outcome of this case was made on pontification, persuasion and anecdote was nothing short of alarming. It astonishes me that in this day and age people are so readily convinced by the power of oration and correlation.
