I watched this over the weekend. It's pretty good/solid. The story itself is pretty crazy but the angle that something like this had never been done before (testifying at your own murder trial) was super interesting.

The dude is a total piece of shite and I wasn't a fan of his lawyer either. I get that he had a job to do and was trying to explain the how's and why's of doing what they did and arguing what they argued. But man it just comes off poorly most of the time. I can't imagine the kind of person it takes to defend people like this a-hole. At least he did admit in the end that he doesn't think he was innocent and that if it had been someone in his family there's no sentence that would've been good enough.

Judy was a trooper but man, it's just difficult to watch her live and speak at times. I can't imagine the pain she was under daily. It did seem weird though, how lucid and "alive" she seemed at times, only to be headed for an inevitable death.

In the end it sucks that he got life in prison instead of capital punishment, but I guess since that's what Judy wanted then it wraps the story up neatly.

The mom came off as sort of strange to me. It almost seemed like she was doped up meds or something (antidepressants maybe?). But I'm not gonna pretend to know what it's like to lose a child, especially in that sort of manner. So it didn't bother me, more just sort of stood out that the mom had some issues as well.

I felt the worst for her kids. The younger daughter said some pretty significant shite when they were having the discussion about life imprisonment without parole. "Why should he get to write and see his family if we can't see ours" Touche', little girl. And the oldest daughter just has to much anger and sadness in her heart. That was heartbreaking to see. You can just simply tell that she is not okay.
