This show is complete garbage. The jonbenet show doesn't tell you anything more than what you have already heard over the last 20 years even though the show is called'How it really happened' but it really doesn't tell you how it really happened. A complete waste of my time to even bother to watch it.

This is supposed to be a "here's what really happened in this crime" documentary that gives you completely fake and disproven theories.

The OJ case was the absolute worst. Every "alternate" theory they gave has long been proven false - the Glen Rogers theory, the OJ's son theory, they're ridiculous and stupid. They also quote evidence that isn't remotely true, the "blood from someone else all over the crime scene they never found whose it was" - just ridiculous. This is supposed to be a network crime series and it's giving clearly fake theories as facts.

The OJ one is hard to watch. It's easier for idiots to believe all these completely outlandish theories than that a really nice guy killed his wife.

Vincent Bugliosi said "I have never seen more evidence against one person than there is in this case." Even Alan Dershowitz, befoer he joined OJ's team, said "this is the most evidence I've ever seen - it's a mountiain of evidence" and then he joined the team and changed his tune.

To think OJ was innocent, you'd have to believe that the police ALL decided on the spur of the moment to frame OJ, not knowing if another killer would be caught the next day and somehow get OJ's blood that night and mix it in the crime scene.

OJ's blood was mixed with the victim all over the crime scene, his car and his house.

End of story.

But this idiotic show tries to claim it wasn't OJ and provides a bunch of fake theories long disproven and that's somehow "what really happened."

It's unethical and bad TV.

Watch the last twenty minutes of second half and be done with it.

I find this series repulsive as it is feeding the large population that just know who did it from a 30 minute news story that only scratches the surface and takes the most eyebrow raising junk to sensationalize.

The criminal justice system is deeply flawed in this country. So is the family court system. So is law enforcement. So is the media. There are good people in each of these systems, but the herd mentality of trial by media or popular opinion can take hold and this show feeds this strong opinion without fact and exploring the scales of justice as there are two sides to every story.

Making every little thing look nefarious is what prosecutors, opposing counsel, the media, and some law enforcement members do. This show feeds that and does not properly balance it with differing opinions, just moments to make the people that may have differing opinions silenced and looking weak, bizarre and challenging the grain which means they're guilty or outside of popular opinion and should be fired.

I beg any one when watching this - just think if you were in the line of site of any of the systems this show supports the opinion of, but you were innocent. You'd have your life ruined and there's no fighting these broken machines.
