Verhandlung Nr. 4

As a Boston Ian, I remember this case. The corruption was/is real. Just glad that Sean was able to get a fair shot at freedom. I ready many reviews thst the series was long. That it is, however it pulled me in. I watched it in its entirety and was glad I did. Bravo Netflix.

I am a sucker for these true crime stories but stories like this need to be told!

They really put in too many side stories that are boring. The case is so interesting, but all the side stories, unimportant information, made it boring sometimes.

This is a great example of how in the US justice system, any person can be a statistic or an example before they are a human. It does this by humanizing the protagonist. his attorney, his family and his supporters, while at the same time, giving in-depth examination the system which they are fighting against.

In reaction to those who are rating this documentary based on how much it entertained them, it illustrates that the big picture is still being missed in our society: and that is that these are no actors performing for our Netflix entertainment -- these are real human lives that were and still are being seriously effected in ways that most of us could not bear by a deeply flawed system.

I am surprised that some negative reviews mention that the series was 'too long". But if all the facts in this matter are to be presented in this explosive case how is it possible to pare it down to a couple of episodes? I binged on it and finished it in a couple of days.And enjoyed every minute of it. And it really does open up a can of worms where the police force is concerned. Corrupt police personnel can make life a living hell for the vulnerable anywhere in the world- that's the message I took away from this series.I am thankful to lawyers like Rosemary Schapiro who rooted for Sean Ellis and fought his battle for him.
