Finally got the chance to watch the documentary series, Making a Murderer (as it is now available on the iPad). This story of a shocking miscarriage of justice, of the blind predjudice rampant in the American court system, is terrifying indeed, and keenly discouraging. We live under the false impression that truth and justice will be sought as a matter of course for all who are accused, whether guilty or innocent, but this proves in practice to be an illusion. One comes away with new commitment to avoiding, at all costs, running afoul of the law and those in authority. A compelling, well done, dreadful but true story.
