Reasonable Doubt

I've watched a lot of these episodes and I've always had mixed feelings about who they choose to believe and who they choose not to believe. But after watching the episode about David Thorn, I'm very confident in saying that Christopher Anderson is racist. This is very controversial for me to say, but if you watch the show, and pay attention to his mannerisms and expressions to any evidence that would exonerate David, you will see that Chris's mind was made up from the beginning. I've never seen so much evidence get met with, "yeah buts," and blatant disregard until this episode. I've seen plenty of cases that Chris and Fatima chose to pursue with significantly less evidence than what David's case had to prove that there needs to be another look. Interestingly enough, go check the races of those cases they chose to pursue! Plus the way Chris and Fatima treated David's friend and wife was just appalling!! I'll never watch this show again. If they named the show, "Reasonable Doubt for minorities," than there would be no issue.

If ID TV is really seriously interested in helping families determine if their lived ones are innocent or guilty-- Chris Anderson is NOT the person to send for the job. He NEVER truly asks the "tough questions" nor the right questions. He's too argumentative any judgemental for the job. The show would be much more informative and conclusive without him as the detective/investigator.

As an ID 'addict', I may be biased but 'Reasonable Doubt' is one of ID's better shows. Both Melissa and Chris are very professional, courteous, and seem totally unbiased. I'm curious to know how the producers are choosing these cases. As it seems the show is relying on communication from family and friends of convicted murderers, who obviously believe in their loved ones' innocence. However, everyone is capable of killing someone! No exceptions! Despite alleged errors in an investigation or a trial, people need to understand and accept that there is no human incapable of killing. Melissa and Chris show all sides of these cases and I don't understand how anyone can disagree with their findings. Good production!

I do enjoy this show but I recently watched an episode where they staged an event and then had a sketch artist sketch the person. They used three volunteers. It appears that they did the sketches immediately after the event. In normal crime situations they don't get the sketch the assailant immediately after the crime. The three people did a really good job but who wouldn't after five minutes, wait a day or two and see how they do. Updates on people they decide to help would be nice as well.

Let's hope for Year 2020 Fatima Silva sounds ALOT less scripted. She's either trying to hard or she's reading from a Teleprompter because it sounds so not sincere. Otherwise the show is great.
