It is absolutely astounding how the justice system displayed such incompetence every step of the way. Listening to the interrogation scenes and the Prosecutor's outlandish accusations was incredibly frustrating, and just left me feeling horrified at how many people must end up convicted of a crime they didn't commit because of the tunnel vision to fit a story to the evidence rather than evidence to facts.
I did find myself annoyed with the repetitiveness of the book, and think it could have been edited down to make the pacing better. There were sections in which we were getting a sort of inner monologue commentary from the Defense lawyer about how EVERY statement being made could never be believable to the Judge or Jury. After the first dozen times it was mentioned, it was just like...I GET IT.
I can see why the decided to make this into a TV series because it's very a much a truth is stranger than fiction situation.
