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. |
Well, I think you described her mom accurately, personally, I just felt sorry for them, after all, they wanted to believe she was innocent, and I think it took them a long time to believe that she was guilty. I do believe that there is such a thing as a bad seed, and no matter what we do as parents, these kids are psychopaths with no conscience. Then also, we are seeing the parents at the worst time in their lives, so it's hard to say what they are really like. I just don’t think bad parenting produces a child like that, if it does, we are in more trouble, than I think.
