In the last year, a podcast has re-opened a murder case from years ago and may help to get a possibly innocent man out of jail and an HBO documentary may put a guilty man behind bars for a long ago murder. I have to say, that's a sentence, I never really thought I'd type. We have lots and lots of law enforcement agencies in the US. Why is it taking journalists to solve murders?
But what I'm most curious about, is how in the world does this work? So the creators of Serial and The Jinx did their homework. They researched and interviewed. They put together clues and really developed their cases. Once the case was finally complete, they had to know what they had. They had to see that Adnan Sayed may have been innocent, and that Robert Durst may have been guilty.
How could they have sat on that information in favor of entertainment? Syed has been sitting in prison for years for a murder he may not have commited. Durst has been living free with his millions of dollars while he may have been a murderer - multiple times over. I get needing to tell the story, but maybe actually helping people would be the more honorable virtue.
