A shocking expose of the extremely flawed American criminal system, with great in depths of the unique cases. After watching this series, I realised how tricky eyewitness testimony and is and that bite mark analyses is almost unusable in most cases.
You can also see how the American justice system takes a extremly long time to get someone out of prison while they have a ton of evindence to proof their innocence, and whilst the extremely unlucky people basiclly are rotting away in prison.
In conclusion: Netflix made a eye opening, in depth documentary about the many flaws in the American justice system.
Good job, the Innocence Project!

This is a gem amongst Netflix documentaries based on crime and wrong convictions. A well directed documentary with deep real stories about people wrongfully convicted. Highlight recommended! 11/10
My big take away from this documentary was that it was kind of scary, these people went to jail for many years based on bogus science and circumstantial evidence. It certainly makes you think how many people incarcerated are innocent, and how many people have gotten away with murder.
A really shocking expose into the unreliability of bite mark analysis and eye witness testimony.
As the series progresses you see how innocent people were convinced of crimes by a jury of people who innocently believed what they heard in court. Unfortunately, once you hear the backstories, the flaws in the forensics, the influencing of eyewitnesses, you cannot believe these people who were convicted, often on one expert witness, or one eye witness, and nothing more. But that's the beauty of hindsight.
Beware, it would have you believe that all bite mark analysis is hokum and no eye witnesses should be relied upon, when in reality the lesson should be neither should be considered individually sufficient evidence enough go to court.
Otherwise a really well made, often emotional (i cried) insight into injustice and the actual humanity of these convictions. I recommend
