Parole de tueur

After seeing plenty of these American docu-series now, are there any police forces over there that can do what they are paid to do, their job!

There's more to this story than Henry Lucas confessing to any murder put in front of him. It's also about the power of the good 'ol boy network and how ruthless people can be when they don't get their way. It's a nicely crafted, interesting film. It goes by quick, not a lot of filler or repetition. A worthwhile watch.

This is an outstanding documentary and well worth watching. It will make you mad and make you sad for all parties involved. If you like crime stories, this is certainly one you don't want to miss

This is an intense and compelling series about a so-called serial killer who falsely confessed to multiple murders.

What is so striking about the series is revealing the sheer audacity and dishonestly of the Texas Rangers and all the police departments who due to criminality,laziness, arrogance and stupidity were prepared- and apparently are still prepared- to believe a proven liar and con artist just for the sake of clearing their books of unsolved crimes.

The police 'fed' the confessor details of crimes and murders to enable his 'confessions' to be plausible.

But it is gets even worse as the suggestion is that these police officers and others deliberately 'lost' evidence, etc., and would falsely accuse anyone who tried to expose the truth about the total incompetence of the investigation.

It is shocking to see how the victims, their families and society as a whole are denied justice by the ego and lawlessness of persons in positions of authority.

Well done to the film-makers for a first rate presentation!

8/10.

Excellent, highly compelling, another great documentary by Netflix. I liked the fact that not only did they do a lot of interviews of people related to the case, but also show a lot of video footages taken during the time of the events also.

The series showed just how much of a disgrace to the tradition of the Texas Rangers both Jim Boutwell and Bob Prince were with their incompetence.

Most heartbreaking was a frail, old Joyce Lemons, a mother of one Lucas' supposed victims who was interviewed early in the series but later turned out to have died before the series was aired without knowing who the actual killer/s or her daughter was.

A Must-See documentary for me, absolutely amazing.
