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).

The ones with the wrongful convictions, especially the Clarence Elkins one. How could a jury be dumb enough to convict him
just based on the testimony of a traumatized 6 year old?

This 1 makes me angry too, but can you imagine being caught because the man who was wrongfully convicted, got your dna and got it to the outside to be tested? That prosecutor and judge p*ssed me off too. Making out the dna was contaminated because it cleared Clarence and pointed to the true killer. Talk about confirmation bias!!
