alt Hacker NewsI read it. It was engrossing.
But ultimately what is the point of these stories? I didn’t learn anything, no mystery was unraveled. It’s information fast food but dressed up as intellectual.

It highlighted the flaws in the justice system. Regardless of his innocence or not, it seems to be the case that his appeals are not being taken seriously even when there are compelling reasons to do so. At least that's what I got from it.

Maybe an important thing to take away from this is that part of life is being forced to sit with uncertainty.

it's a human interest story
not everything has to have a plot or an arc, this is real life
Huh... I thought it was pretty obvious. Man becomes obsessed with the details of a murder. He starts to question what his motivations are if he doesn't actually know one way or the other whether the man is guilty. His focus on the case begins to fade and he is asked by his daughter if the convicted man is his friend or not.
For twenty minutes it was an engrossing read for me, but to each their own I guess.
