Add Synopsis
I saw this movie yesterday at first i thought that maybe it was going to be boring but i saw it but then i remember that it was based on a true story and i started watching so that i could judge, i have to say that at first he did it but then i don't know, there were some things that somehow had me on balance whether sometimes i was with him or the others.
Although the person who i did not like was the daughter Caitlin about the way she reacted and then i thought he's not her biological father and i would have done the same if it was my mother, at first i judge her by the way she acted. The police did not convince me though. By seeing the movie at the end the part where the blow pokes appeared i thought it was planted, he could have gotten not going to jail but then mysteriously appears the blow poke, and i think the jurors must have thought they are trying to make the police look back as they are not doing their job, but i guess we will never know.
Because even if he was guilty we will never know if he was or wasn't there's always a possibility.
