    Watching American true crime is painful when we are used to the UK system. Hang on you used a fucking polygraph? Are you actually serious? May as well just go “yeah that guy is giving me bad vibes, so I told him what to say to confess”. Meanwhile in the UK they look for actual evidence and can’t just tell you what to say to make a confession to something you didn’t do.

    Stuff like "You said you were at home and have never met them, this evidence shows your DNA on the victim. How can you explain that? "

      It is pretty terrible when I watch an American docu and am surprised when a detective/cop or team seems to genuinely care and have a desire to help. So many are horrible people. Audit the Audit is a good one for putting those types on blast.

      I have no concept of a law enforcement agency that does anything outside of try to coerce those society has deemed “problematic” into creating additional problems for themselves.
