72 Seconds in Rittenhouse Square

I thought NICE, when I saw a 45 min documentary, but I realized it was a 3-part documentary, total 2 1/2 hours long, but it needed to just be 45 min. It took an hour and 10 min to just get the basic story, KINDA, because we still didn't get the full story then, nor did we ever find out what happened. They TALKED about what allegedly happened, but never showed what happened leading up to the incident. I wish they had much more of what was presented at trial etc.

There was WAY too much speculation and conjecture on the part of the defense team, and I mean team in terms of everyone on the side of White, his family, friends etc.

Then why did we need to hear White's back story/history? It's totally irrelevant to what happened.

It's disgusting how the defense attorneys/D. A. constantly used race and saw everything through the prism of race, when race had NOTHING to do with it.

Krasner is a political hack and led White on during the interview.

White's counselor talked about White being under privileged, while simultaneously saying how much help White got from a bunch of high profile attorneys/activists and ultimately Krasner, the D. A.

The documentary did a good job at showing both sides, but it too way too long to get there.

So obnoxious to see how political the "justice" system is. One of the D. A.s (Keir) actually said they needed to hear what a "black mother feels like."

I liked it, but I can't give more than 6 stars since it was 3x as long as it should have been.

I was hoping they would have the two other guys Schellenger was in the car with along with the guy in the Taurus he got involved with to start everything. Both are huge parts of the case that were not discussed. I assume they must have been purposely left out, most likely for legal purposes. But they don't even mention them. They tell you several times that Larry Krasner has declined comment for the documentary.

It is an entertaining and well-made docuseries. Obviously, there will be people on each side. I personally don't believe it was handled very well by the DA, but that doesn't mean the verdict was necessarily wrong. None of us know everything, and they do.

It is odd that Wikipedia doesn't have anything on this. Even on Krasner's page, it doesn't say anything about this case. There are a lot of cases that aren't nearly as high-profile as this one that have extensive information available.

But what IMDB is about is entertainment, and this was entertaining to me and I thought very well produced and directed. I've never seen any of Tigre Hill's stuff before this but I might check it out now. I would recommend this to anyone, regardless of your side of it.
