A powerful and unforgettably thorough HBO documentary, is not only an exploration of what happened (difficult questions linger, particularly about the response of the town’s police to the initial 911 call), it also invites a frank and remarkably even-handed discussion of what sort of punishment could ever fit the crime.

[A] desperately sad yet compelling doc digs deep into the events that led to and followed the tragedy. [26 Jul 2013, p.62]

Excellent documentary. Riveting, moving. And the horrendous nature of this particular event triggers an extraordinarily balanced presentation of the arguments about the death penalty.

One of the most shocking murder cases I’ve ever seen and all done to the police not doing their jobs properly. RIP
