I gave this a even due to it's watchability. I was never bored and enjoyed seeing each little bit of reasonable doubt surface. I had not heard of the case before. The credits that explained the defendants did 18 years and still weren't exonerated made me do a double-take.
There is no way a judge could have acted the way this one did and not have the case declared a mistrial on appeal. I'm pretty sure no trial judge can give the actual date of execution, as well.
The jury did not find it significant that a bloody and muddy man came into a restaurant that night and this was not submitted into evidence at the beginning of the trial? And the police lost the blood? Or that testimony was coerced? Or the suspect in California?
This movie portrayed so much reasonable doubt a jury would not convict on capital charges. The OJ case was one year later and he was found innocent with some of the same discrepancies and no other viable suspects. Do they want us to believe this happened due to Arkansas still being far behind the rest of the US in judicial process?
Based upon the evidence given in the movie, a little poetic license and the jury finding them innocent would have been a better outcome. I would have given it a 10.
