I'm surprised there wasn't already a thread about this 3-part series.

It's about Chester Weger - who was found guilty of a pretty horrific triple murder that occurred in a state park in 1960, his present-day quest for parole, and the ongoing debate around his guilt/innocence. ย It has the interesting twist that the film maker is the son of the prosecutor. ย 

It's one of the better films of this genre that I've seen in the last few years. ย It's remarkable how many family members/witnesses/jurors/lawyers/etc are still alive and how many participated in the film.

I've seen it twice - the second time was when my wife watched it - and the second viewing only reinforced the opinion I formed in the first one. ย 

Part 3 drags just a bit, but they packed a lot of information, interviews, and theories into a reasonably short film (each part is under an hour). ย Mostly the pacing is pretty good, and the information is revealed in a way that may make you change your mind a couple times along the way.

Did the documentary mention what became of Stanley Tucker?ย  If it did I missed it.

P.S. agree that this is worth a watch.

No, I donโ€™t think they did, and I agree that the film could have done a better job telling โ€œwhatever happened toโ€ฆโ€ with some of the main characters. ย
