George large portrayed sympathetically though the prosecutors at times found him creepy because he talked about wanting a hug from his daughter & how pretty she looked, which kind of seemed dad-like to me but what do I know; and the mother of Casey, kind of middle of the road, warts, panic, genuine love, enabling. But it was a movie about the case and the prosecution of her and not about her, thankfully, or I wouldn't have watched a moment. But I was interested in the look at the other side of it, even on just a Lifetime Movie. If they were going to really cover the case-side of it fully, wish they'd done it in a 4-hour miniseries as the 2-hour format could only hit the highlights and used a good screenwriter, director. I'll admit when the parents were on the stand and much of that part, I fastforwarded through so didn't watch all of the part where they and some of the experts testified as the movie wasn't that well-done and no tension building used or any technique used to try to give it any interesting touches. The State's case could be a subject done well and with a lot of tension and pathos in a movie but sadly, not the case, so I FF'd.
