Thin Blue Line

this was not the typical documentary that I usually watch. It starts out with the story line of the murder of a police officer. you get a little insight to who the supects are and what actions have been taken since the killing. there is an unusual circumstance wher a man picks up a hitchhiker and the two end up spending some time together doing different activities like smoking little pot and drinking a little bit alcohol. not the usual relationship someone has with a hitchiker. after that point we start to get two different stories and you are forced to try and formulate and opinion on whether or not the man convicted is truly the guilty party. it turns into a case of he said she said and we are left trying to determine the accountability of the witnesses and analyze the ulterior motives of the witnesses. there are even witnesses testifying against witnesses. a woman says that the character of the two eye witnesses was questionable at best and that thew two were merely testifying for the money. later we hear a confession from the man who truyly killed the police officer right before he is executed fro other crimes. you see a man who has no reason to be violent but the other lives a questionable life full of small crimes that eventually turn into a life of crime. there was an acception by officials to convict an innocent man rather than to see a teen go to jail for a crime that they could pin on him. there was evidence that he was guilty but due to a "convenient" memory loss many were convinced of the good mans guilt. why would you kill an innocent man just because you feel like this kid needs a second chance in life that he obviously wasted and went back to jail. there was questionable evidence and automatically one man was accused because of his age. its not right and it took almost two decades for someone to realize this injustice and finallly let an innocent man go free
