    The dead has no voice
    It's like my grandmother used to say: "The dead has no voice".

    Elize is a human that did a huge mistake, and she still has her rights, but it's a bit disgusting to interview a cold blood killer and let her talk trash about the person she killed and mutilated. And of course, the dead husband has no way to defend himself from all the nonsense and accusations coming out of his killer's mouth.

    The documentary makes you almost forget that she shot him in the head and cut his body in small pieces and threw it in the bush, such a poor lady.

    I watched until the end but I can definitely say I don't really see the point of watching this documentary.

    Making a cold murder a victim.
