Whilst i believe the prosecution did a good job I’m just so annoyed they accepted a plea deal. Why would they do that!! I feel they really let the family down by doing that. All their hard work thrown away! By accepting voluntary manslaughter it’s obvious the martens would walk free with time served, if they took it to trial there was the possibility of them going down for life! The worse that would happen is they walk free, which happened anyway! That really let me down. They had a really good case and one that i’d hope a jury would be able to see for what it was.

Maybe they didn’t have a really good case though. The show seems to have left out a lot of information, for example what was picked up on the tape recorders the night he died.

strangely enough she didn't have any recordings of that night.

Did they say that in the show? It seems like it was another one of the many things that was glossed over.

After reading the comments I suspect he found the recorders after Jack told him about the one in the car. But the show didn’t explain any of that.

That would make sense. The way the show just grazed over some things makes the whole thing feel really off.
