David Raccuglia's research got the evidence for himself, after growing up in fear of Chester Weger, since Raccuglia's father was lead prosecutor of Weger for The Murders at Starved Rock case.

Sadly, this crime documentary intentionally deceives the viewer. Since we know that we are receiving the information third and fourth hand, we expect the second-hand producers to be honest, forthright, and organized with us as we watch the documentary. We expect them to give us the pros and the cons, the exculpatory evidence and the damning evidence, and weighted the evidence at least closely to how it should be logically weighted.

But they are not forthright or honest with us! Instead, they give us select unfiltered damning evidence, then they give us select unfiltered and unweighted exculpatory evidence and theories, then they haphazardly give us filtering and weighting of both the pros and the cons. Then they shoot a big hole in the whole multi-decade documentary by ending it at the point which they tell us that potentially crucial physical evidence will have DNA analyzed results in just weeks, rather than ending the documentary after that analysis had been completed.

I thoroughly felt that I had been taken on a deceptive ride the whole time by the writers. I felt that I had wasted three hours of my life, which I will never get back, which could have been used for something far better. The case itself is interesting, but the writing, editing, organizing and sharing the evidence with the viewer caused this viewer to feel that he was completely railroaded by the producers of this documentary, in a similar manner as they had portrayed may have happened to Weger.
