This is a typical lifetime movie. Definitely fits the format of dramatization and misinformation.
There was a lot that went down that wasn't included in the movie. They changed a lot too. Melanie's children were smaller at the time of bills death. And they each had behavioral problems. They didn't even cover any of the evidence of bill's gambling problem and they hardly focused on the closing of their new house. THE MAIN EVIDENCE FOR EVERYTHING.
If you want to know factual information about this case, I highly suggest listening to the podcast: Direct Appeal: the Melanie McGuire story. The only thing I've ever listened on the case that is actually factual.
I've talked to Melanie in the past. This movie made her look stupid, naive and evil. She's neither one of those things and she's 100% innocent. She was convicted in circumstantial evidence! That is all!
