    Heartbreaking miscarriage of justice

    The fact they allowed 2 murderers and a lawyer lie over and over again is disgraceful. It s very obvious she manipulated thise kids. Even in the videos of her with the kids she bullies him about crying.

    The american justice system is ridiculous if it thinks those 2 are innocent. This film is heartbreaking and shows what damage can be done by a poor system.

    The heartbreaking of the kids especially the daughter is overwhelming. To tell a child that both her parents are dead because of her is just pure cruelty. The film shows this so well and it's impossible to watch this and not know that a serious injustice has been carried out.

    Messed Up Manipulative Molly

    This was a difficult watch and I feel so much for Jack and Sarah. They should feel some comfort knowing they did all they could to restore their Father's reputation and they did him proud. Quite early on, the one thing that became apparent to me was that Molly was only interested in having those children. Alarm bells are ringing, and this movie adequately supported the evidence of a manipulative, messed up girl masquerading as a stable mother figure.

    In terms of the arguments about asthma death, I am an asthmatic, and I have woken in the middle of the night gasping, thinking I might die. To say it is scary is an understatement.

    This is a tragic story, even more so because manipulators do not suddenly stop manipulating. It wouldn't surprise me if someone else falls victim to Molly.

    Absolutely Abhorrent and Vile

    That Molly, Tom and their horrible excuse for an attorney were allowed to point blank LIE regarding Mags is so appalling and quite honestly, grotesque.

    The prosecution for this debacle couldn't have been more incompetent- they didn't even bother to call Mags' family in Ireland to testify! After presenting such an horrific case the first time, he caved completely and gave these two monsters an ridiculous plea deal for next to no time after what can only be described as the most grisly, gruesome annihilation of an human being most have witnessed.

    And then you have these two adorable children, through no fault of their own, are now smack in the middle of a child's worst nightmare- no parents remaining, having experienced and witnessed this hideous tragedy, and then having to struggle through being forced to endure living with people to whom they had no blood relation and all this after their father had so thoughtfully designated appropriate caregivers for them in the chance something awful befell him. Little could he have imagined the worst imaginable would pale in comparison to the actuality.

    There's far too much air given to these monsters, and not nearly as much time spent delving into what horrible creatures this entire family is, and how manipulated the victim was and how poorly Molly treated him and his children.

    Justice Done

    It's great that the children even though it took some time after all those years for them to come forward until what really happened. And that the father was not physically abusive to the mother at all. She seems to have no answer to any of those comments the kids had brought to light. She still speaks like her and her father who deserves to be where he's at too he should have actually gotten more and her also it was a total Massacre. See and that old scallywag of a father ambushed him and didn't allow any exit for him while they were beating him with a baseball bat and a large brick. But yet they try and justify that as they were in fear. It just goes to show you how some narcissistic ignorant people think that what they can lie about that they believe a jury is too stupid to see through it. To my opinion the father and the daughter should have been in prison forever. They might come up as upstanding citizens but let's get this straight they're dirty scumbag felons. Only in my heart do I wish that they could read this. And know that most Americans virtually all that had seen this story do not believe their side. They just need to stay in jail and think about every day how they beat that man to death. Sad really sad human beings almost makes you wish you weren't human when you have trash like that still existing.

    They weren't YOUR children!

    I noted that Molly was consistently calling Jack and Sarah, "my kids", causing me to scream at the TV screen, "they weren't YOUR kids!". Molly's intention is obvious in this statement. She was going to do whatever was necessary to get Sarah and Jack, even manipulating her father to be the co-executioner.

    I'm still not sure of the involvement of Molly's mother. She's mentioned briefly and I kept waiting for something else to be revealed but nothing mentioned of any consequence.

    It breaks your heart to watch these kids being emotionally tortured over so many years and I only hope they can find some peace in their true home in Ireland.
