Wrongful Conviction Shows, Films and Documentaries

[Captain Turdseye]

Been watching’Trial 4’ on Netflix and it got me thinking that there’s been some great TV made about these over the last few years. In this here thread we can discuss them and judge whether or not these blokes are actually innocent. On the flip side, you’ve got high profile celebrities like OJ Simpson and Wacko Jacko literally getting away with murder and touching kids willies.  
 

DOUBTFUL

Steven Avery


 

Robert Durst

 

 

Michael Peterson

 

 

DEFINITELY INNOCENT
 

Sean Ellis  

 

Brendan Dassey

 

 

John Coffey

 

 

There’s obviously a shit load more of these but I thought I’d leave some for the rest of you to judge and/or make a case for their innocence.

Joe Exotic. Stitched up in my opinion. 

[Lee909]

Having not watched a minute of any of these I'm going 

 

Guilty

Suspicious 

Guilty of something

Innocent

Meth head

Not to to argue with a cunt that big

Guilty of animal abuse, check his hard drive for various reasons

[Bobby Hundreds]

I dont think Dassey could be seen as innocent, doubtful at a push dont forget the editing made it look like he was being coached but he had already told them details and they were trying to get him to repeat what he'd already told them. At the most they may deserve a retrial theres no way I'd just let them out.

Before passing judgement on above watch Long Shot on Netflix. Ok he should have remembered where he was , and he had a cast iron alibi as it turned out, however those two cops fitted him up. Down to luck that he got out . Easy to watch and tell me when they interview the cops at very end you aren't shouting at tv.

This on Netflix was excellent

The Confession Tapes on Netflix show more innocents being harassed into guilty pleas.

[Bjornebye]

For Life - Sky Atlantic. 

[Trumo]

I suppose you could include the film In The Name Of The Father, which is based on the case of the Guildford Four, with Daniel Day-Lewis playing Gerry Conlon.

[Johnlj]

Just finished the Michael Peterson one. Two days it just sucks you in. Emotional roller coaster of a show. 

 

10/10

Making of a murderer wouldn't have been half as compelling if it wasn't so biased. Plus the Kratz guy from prosecution being so obviously unlikeable and the Nirider chick who represented Dassey being a Fox. 

 

Fuck knows what really happened though, Avery seems a pretty fucked up individual and Dassey could have been coaxed by anyone. 

[Bjornebye]

The Devil Next Door on Netflix is absolutely superb. 

 

He isn't innocent though. The fucking evil bastard

[Geoff Woade]

Avery is guilty as sin but I’m willing to accept the police did what they needed to in order ensure they got the conviction by fair means or foul.
