joycarnahan-17180 Any viewer who truly wants to evaluate the evidence and substantial challenges raised on appeal by Routier and Jones, they should read the state and federal court appeals online.... Everybody enjoys watching a variety of interesting tv shows...and this program IS entertaining. However, in addition to the Defendant, there the jurors, victims and their families, lawyers and judges, law enforcement, the presentation and quality of evidence, and the appellate courts that review this process.... ALL must be considered. In the real world of criminal trials (not Hollywood's version), the players don't get to cherry pick the facts and evidence. The more interesting debate in the Jones case is whether a 19 year old should be on death row?? As far as the verdict and the case against Jones....guilty. Period. His issues on appeal were fully raised and soundly rejected.As for Routier....she was convicted on the blood evidence and the absence of any evidence (DNA or other) that another person was there to do this crime. Her changing stories cannot possibly explain the crime scene evidence and the 911 call. This show practically ignored those issues entirely. The unfortunate "silly string" incident is a red herring but was shamefully overplayed by the DA and damaging to the defense. That's just my two cents but, at least it is based on reviewing facts and evidence from the appellate briefs, not just putting a "maybe innocent??" spin on two cases for a transparent anti-death penalty agenda.

matthijsalexander Me and my GF have been watching this. Me Dutch, she Thai. We were in a constant roller-coaster of doubt: She did it, she didn't, she did it, she didn't. Up till now (4 episodes in), with all the evidence presented we are still not sure.What is clear, the American system has too many disadvantages, too many people end up behind bars because 'their peers' may or may not have made a mistake. Media influences outcomes too much in some instances. Absolutely an interesting show, on all counts.

ellenirishellen-62962 Had to watch after friend put me on to this show.Reality,the kind of reality show I will watch.Saw the case of Darlie Router portrayed,a mother convicted and sentenced to die for supposedly killing her kids.Did not realize the events happened two decades ago,until pointed out here.Viola Davis does a terrific job in producing the cases,and having the actual participants is essential to help understand all that happened so many years ago.Will continue to watch,this is quality television.

michaelrthomson Not being American I'm unfamiliar with the opening story being told by this show, but the way in which the story has been told was enough to make me break out Google and do a little research.As is all too often the case with these sorts of 'wrongful outcome' criminal investigation shows it seems to skew very much in favour of the defence side of things, that in and of itself is fine so long as there is some objectivity coming up. It appears there are three episodes dedicated to this story, the next one being around the trail, and the last one titled 'the woman' must be about the woman at the centre of the case herself. I'm optimistic that each will give a more full account of the events leading up to, including and after the murder/s.Its pretty well put together with good production. The use of historical footage is again pretty typical for this sort of show, but I'm hoping those who are 'investigating' will be more evident as will their methodology.There is certainly enough so far to garner interest and further watching.
