1. Thanks for the heads up. I will try to catch it. My guess is the husband

killed her.....

3. It's really interesting.

Turns out a woman he knew 18 years before ALSO "fell down the staircase" and died. He was the last person known to have been in her house before she was discovered. Her body was disinterred and subjected to another autopsy during the course of THIS investigation.

Not only that but he ended up raising her two children (the first dead woman's). Then THIS fall down the staircase happened to the 2nd woman, which is the main subject of the documentary.

That's not even the half of the weirdness about the case.

2. I watched a good portion of this trial on tv

but I always manage to miss the verdict in long running trials. I will have to catch this so I can see how it turned out. Thanks for the heads up.

4. The guys who did the documentary won an Oscar for their last film.

That Oscar-winning documentary was about a black guy on death row who had DNA clear him, if I recall correctly.

One problem with THIS documentary is that some of the State's evidence against the Defendant is glossed over or not revealed in the documentary.

Still the documentary is riveting.
