Why in the world did they spend so much time and effort and money and energy on a person who clearly wasn't guilty? They could've been looking elsewhere. No wonder this case wasn't successful! This poor woman laid there for over 24 hours before they even removed her cold body from the scene. I pity Ireland and their judicial system. They're not equipped to deal with serious crimes. They tried to blackmail people. Set this Ian dude up. That guy and his wife has to live with that mess for the rest of their lives because instead of the garda trying to find the ACTUAL murderer, they spent all that time ruining 2 peoples lives! It's pathetic! Absolutely pathetic!!! I feel so bad for the victim, the new victims created in this story, Ian and Jules.. and most of all the family and child of Sophia! This is a tragedy from the beginning to end. It's mind blowing that no one ever asked why weren't they pursuing any other leads? SMH..
This doc, as opposed to the Netflix one, actually lets you decide things for yourself. Presents the case and a compelling way while not "telling you" who they think did it. Also, really interesting to see the irregularities in the police work on this case that the Netflix doc just glosses over in favor of pushing a certain narrative. Would definitely recommend this doc!
Jim Sheridans documentary is sad and very gripping and do I think it's Ian bailey ?
I was so looking forward to this series but it was shocking bad. Sheridan trundles around West Cork and Paris like a man with a bad hangover. He never once questions Bailey about the inconsistencies in his story. It could have been good, it wasn't. There is a complete lack of investigative quality and one comes away with the impression that the only investigation Sheridan carried out was sifting though a folder of press cutting given to him by Ian Bailey. I'm giving it a two because I don't want to be mean and give it zero.
I've seen this case draw out over 25 years. This documentary doesn't answer any questions. Why did Ian Bailey kill her and is there any actual evidence?
