      It doesn’t exactly skip over it. He clearly had low self esteem, considering he was kinda chunky and his oneitis rejected him. In an interview, you can tell she realizes that if she had dated him, even just for a little while, he’d still be alive.
      But yeah, he didn’t think he could do better and he didn’t want to be alone. Then he became a real doctor and started to gain some confidence, but he died almost immediately after.

        She was his ex-fiance. She even says "when it started I was glad he was moving on with someone" because by then she'd long moved on from their breakup. It implies(well, outright states) the breakup is why he was vulnerable to falling in with an insane person

    It's good but put too much focus on the incompetence of the Canadian authorities and not enough on the US authorities who weren't putting pressure on getting a fugitive returned.
    How the frick can there be extradition hearings? The point of having extradition treaties is so if a suspect gets picked up in a different jurisdiction they'll be sent to where they have charges out of. Pick up somebody else's suspect you call them and say "hey, do you want to come pick this suspect up or should we meet in the middle or how are we doing this", can't just hold on to them or worse release them. It's not your suspect

      Filmmaker was childhood friends with this guy. Guy started dating much older, and clearly unstable woman. He broke up with her, then she showed up saying she was pregnant, and shot and killed him. Then, she fricked off to Canada. Filmmaker guy made the movie to show the guy’s son what kind of person his father was. But then crazy lady killed the son, too. In the end, it becomes about the elderly guy’s parents and the work they did trying to get justice for their son, in the face of Canadian incompetence
      That’s the gist

      I just watched a short documentary on the japanese prison system. The only big problem I have with it is the emphasis on confessions and the way they extract them, which can easily lead to false convictions. Maybe I'm moronic but I feel like nordic prisons for nonviolent crimes and japanese prisons for violent ones would be the way to go.

    The number of people that just accept the wildy biased perspective of a documentary they watched on a subject they never heard of before is worrying. Does it not occur to anyone watching this that maybe it's not as clear and obvious that Turner was involved in the murder? Police routinely decide a spouse or ex is the one that did it and drop all other avenuse of investigation to try and force that through. She fled back home because of that. Something anyone would do if they had the option. And it proved to be the right thing too, because the American police didn't have enough evidience to railroad her when they had to go through an actual competent court system. Then the treatment of the suicide is so wrongheaded it's hard to know where to even begin. It's people that didn't know her at all and made no attempt to understand who she was spinning up some version of Turner where she's a monster trying to hurt anyone she can for no reason other then intrinsic evil. That's not what depression and sucide are like and the same people that eat this garbage up will watch a different, sympathic documentary about another suicide and feel moved by how sad it was and how there should have been more help and etc. It's scary how easily manipulated audiences are, for real.

      >Does it not occur to anyone watching this that maybe it's not as clear and obvious that Turner was involved in the murder?
      She showed up at his house and he planned to meet her at the time of the murder. Her gun was the weapon. Then she denied being there when questioned despite mountains of evidence she was. There was no evidence pointing to any other suspect.
      >Something anyone would do if they had the option
      Yeah, most murderers will want to flee the jurisdiction they did it in, especially to somewhere that doesn't extradite. Like Canada apparently
      >competent court system
      You mean the one that multiple times released a fugitive from murder charges and gave her custody of a child? That's competent?
      She never should've been in a Canadian court, that's the point of extradition

        You're uncritically accepting a prosecutor's version of events and not even bringing up any of her defenses, which by the way won in court and secured the release you're so outraged about. That is exactly the kind of distortion documentaries like this deal in though. You're so certain of events you've never bothered to read or learn about, besides what the people putting this movie together put right in front of you. Being flatly wrong is one thing. But totally sure of yourself at the same time is just gross.

            The prosecutor says x, y and z isn't a point. The movie and the poster have not done anything to look at what the evidence supporting the claims are. And not even mentioned in passing the defense's answers. For example, 'it was her gun', is based on rough estimation of the caliber of bullet used in the shoting. Which is notriously innacurate. And nothing else. A handgun probably was the murder weapon, and she owned a handgun is literally it. No actual gun was tied to the murder. No bullet casings or fingerprints or residue or etc. Some medical examniner measured the bullet holes and says they're consistant with this range of calibers. That's literally it.

              Again she was never tried because the incompetent Canadian police failed to extradite. The Canadian authorities had one job in this case and it was to send a fugitive back to the jurisdiction that was looking for her

          There was no prosecution, the incompetent Canadian police never fricking extradited her. She wasn't their suspect, she never should've stepped foot in a Canadian court. She was being charged in Pennsylvania when Canadian police picked her up she should been sent straight to the jurisdiction that was looking for her. That's what extradition is supposed to mean, we have extradition treaties so shit like this doesn't happen.
