A Killer Uncaged

Manipulative, self-pitying liar. Extremely unlikable. I watch a lot of Innocence Project-type shows and always go in with a great deal of sympathy for both sides, but this man managed to become more reprehensible with every episode. Finds ways to totally justify his horrible actions and the entire show was infuriating to watch. Very bad example of someone getting a rare second chance - and I know all the ways the justice system can be awful. I could not STAND this man. I was curious by the end.

I have to admit that as I was watching this miniseries I started to question myself about the possibility of someone being able to genuinely change and have remorse....but he managed to quash ALL that once he stated "They may THINK I'm a killer or they may THINK I'm a murderer but..." He had already willingly confessed to the murder and the robbery...period.

BUT...when he then proceeded to paint himself as the real victim, I regretted ever having second thoughts about hi.. even the Chief Police Investigar & Prosecuto don't believe his new change of "motive" for his crimes. It was premeditated pure & simple...he went to Subway with a loaded gun with the intention of murdering John Zeltner.

Sigler is lucky he found a lonely senior citizen to take him in once Texas paroled him. Sadly ,John Zeltner left behind brothers who knew who he was, loved him very much, but will never be able to celebrate another Christmas or birthday or family get together with him ever again because Sier took that from them.

Now Sigler has the audacity to sit there and say that spending 30 years in prison for murdering someone in cold blood is more than enough and a bit too much. He openly questioned "what is a man's life worth?" then proceeded to state he more than paid his debt to society. When you listen to his last words, it challenges his sincerity of having any remorse or guilt because, in his mind, he's the real victim in all this. Probably the most sickening part is when his "new congregation" applauded him when he finished lying to them. No, he didn't "come clean" ot "testify" before them...he found an unwitting & unwilling scapegoat for his own failings as a human being for a lifestyle he chose. I sure would hate to be him on his Judgement Day. He knows what he did & why...the lies won't help him then

It's just awfully convenient for Sigler to stand there and slander someone who CAN'T defend himself...someone who, unlike himself, was loved, is still loved and is missed.

How is this manipulative self-centered awful human out of prison? He obviously committed a hate crime, he is a whining professional victim. He will be a repeat offender. How could they let him out of prison? This is a terrible show to glamorize this guy who should be in prison. Forever.

He want you to feel sorry for him but this is a genuine psychopath. Come on he is so transparent!

Although I was interested in the story of Dale Sigler and the murder he committed, I found that the documentary fails to make a point. It just shows what happened and what Sigler and the prosecutors and the victim's relatives say. But what does the series want to tell us? You don't need to take sides to have a point of view, and this series does not.

One thing that made me angry even is when the "great revelation" of Sigler telling a different version of his motive for the murder was kept from the viewers until the end of episode 2 (of 3). And that's despite the fact that at the time of the filming this changed statement was already known.

This documentary doesn't bore but it left me shrugging my shoulders.

I'm always fascinated by stories like this. You will see this man change and his arrogance shines. He would not be free if justice had been served. The victim is always forgotten, why? Because they are no longer with us and cannot defend themselves. Religion is used as a cruch in prison and this man has milked it. HE'S FREE and it's wrong, so wrong.
