Selena & Yolanda: The Secrets Between Them

The documentary tries to justify a killers actions. It tries to muddy the waters by showing the relationship between Selena and her killer but fails to acknowledge the she is in prison for murder not for a failed friendship.

This documentary was not necessary and I wish I could get the time I wasted on it back. The majority of it was spent by Yolanda's family members creating a biased storyline to portray her in a better light.

Nothing that is shown helps clear up her actions that day and it feels like a sad attempt by a desperate woman to try and get some freedom since her probation is coming up soon.

This documentary is hard to watch because this documentary is full of lies. Her own "truth" conflicts with what she has said in the past. Yolanda and her family's side of the story are simply trying to victimize her and ignore the fact that she is a cold-blooded lying murderer. She constantly says she didn't get to tell her side of the story as if she was silenced, but in reality told straight up lies even back then and made no sense for anyone to even care about what she had to say. This documentary was made to try to gain sympathy for a conniving murderer. The lies make this documentary hard to watch. You can see for yourself. Selena was murdered by a monster end of story.

Yolanda Saldivar killed Selena. That point is not disputed. This documentary wastes hours trying to humanize and essentially vindicate Selena's murderer. Yolanda Saldivar's prison interviews in this documentary are the crazed rantings of a woman who is physically incapable of admitting any fault or wrongdoing on any level. Her run-on narrative is shamelessly self-serving and begs us to pin the blame for her crime on anyone other than her. A jury convicted this woman based on facts and evidence. Viewers should ask themselves: "Does it matter if there were secrets shared between Selena and Yolanda?" This woman MURDERED another human being. Period. This documentary seemingly wants a new jury of TV watchers to reexamine her conviction. It will be a travesty of justice if this woman is paroled, ever. She deserves to die in prison, regardless of what irrelevant "secrets" were shared with Selena.

That's it really... they got the spelling right for everybody's name. Not sure why they made an entire documentary just to give Yolanda a chance to lie some more and show some crocodile tears. She murdered Selena, there aren't any doubts about that. I'm not sure why we need a whole documentary trying to empathize with a murderer and a narcissist.

What's the point of including her nieces and nephews? They don't know anything more about the trial or circumstances than anybody else. I guess that's the only potentially sympathetic people they could find? And that's the narrative they are trying to push for some reason. All in all, it's an unnecessary film that feels like a whole bunch of wasted time that I'll never get back.

Regardless of all this 'new' information, the truth is this - Yolanda Saldivar pointed her gun and pulled the trigger that killed Selena. Plus she admitted it, it doesn't matter if she didn't mean do it, or if it was an accident or whatever. There's absolutely no use in trying to victimize Yolanda, she's a killer end of story. Dont try to change the narrative and start blaming Abraham, he might be the way he is but he can't force anybody to point guns and pull triggers. This is all on Yolanda and nobody else. She knows her parole is approaching so she's trying to change her image before that. What she should have done was keep her image quiet and try to parole and go live somewhere in solitude.
