9 | As a criminologist, I found this as one of the better true crime docs

I watched this documentary this morning and am still feeling chills. I don't want to put spoilers here (don't you hate that). I am a criminologist and a true crime author, former law enforcement officer who has seen some horrible things. I don't know a film that has made me sit and ruminate this seriously in some time, all about callousness, forgiveness, and brutal honesty. The only thing I saw was a glaring typo on one of the quotes. It wasn't made on a million dollar budget, but that's one of the film's good things- makes it easier to relate to those interviewed, and it's "in your face" without feeling fake or staged. The criminals do not deserve anything less than life and the death penalty. They do not need to be out among society. The filmmaker takes an unbiased look at all sides - and lets you come to your own conclusion.
