There are no words. From the story to the documentary itself... it's just too much to handle.

An excellent but tragic documentary. I felt bad for both the three and the parents, but mostly frustrated by Bible Belt stupidity

American justice gone amok. Moral: in a murder case it doesn't matter if you convict wrong person. Just Convict somebody.
