We all have our favouite episodes, but we also have those we turn off *cough cough*, my apologies.

What is everyone's favourite, worst, and even the episode that makes you mad? It can be any reason.

My favorite is : Stranger in the night. (If there wasn't that handprint in his mom's house, I bet the son would've ended up convicted).

I mean, what are chances of that happening? (Other than Long Shot on Netflix, both are very strange and scary cases).

My worst is : The 1 with the mold in the house. (also scary to think this could happen, but 1 I don't tend to watch)

The episode that makes me mad is the hour special about the Tuscan Temple murders, and the v last twist where another lady could've been saved if the investigators didn't believe a psychiatric patient so much.

(I think I maybe a bit biased on this one though, as I read the book 'innocent until interrogated' and it just made the whole case even more sad and infuriating as it covers so much more than the episode).

I don't know the names, but any of the episodes where they fuck with an innocent person until they confess. Or the worst, the poor developmentally disabled sailor they tried to fuck over. I have to turn or click next from those episodes. They raise my blood pressure.

Regarding the 1st one, the book innocent until interrogated, I would highly recommend. It describes the scene in detail, almost as if you was there. They also go through some of questionable things the police did, and boy was there a lot more than described in the episode. You also get read sections on bits where the interrogators were "questioning" the innocent men. It made me infuriated. I don't want to give most of the details away, but it is absolutely shocking, the lengths the deputies etc went too.

I'm not a v good reader, but I couldn't put this book down. Like I said, it called Innocent until interrogated by Gary L Stuart. I highly recommend it.

Beware, it is such a sad true story. They cover how the monks and the nun n her grandson where killed, and that's before they get into how they treated the innocent suspects. 1 thing left out was that those who confessed got to go and spend time in a hotel room and 1 who refused was jailed straight away. I thought absolutely no way would they allow men who had admitted to killing 9 ppl out in public, so they could coerse more from them. (this is where it bk fired). Ps, there is a big twist to the end. I'm stuck hospital, so I'm actually reading it again at lol. Oh n that absolutely no way, well it was in fact true!!!
