Title: Riveting!
Review: Riveting, yes. But I don't agree with those viewers and reviewers who express conviction that there was a gross miscarriage of justice; that the three boys found guilty of the murders are in fact innocent. To be sure, they may well be; "Paradise Lost" certainly offers one ample cause to have reasonable doubt. It's important to note, however, that the juries didn't render their verdicts based on the documentary, but on the evidence presented at the trials. While I'm inclined to believe that the boys aren't guilty, that inclination is based on the documentary. It's impossible to know with certainty what verdict I would have rendered had I been a juror at one of the trials. And the same is true of everyone who's expressed a definite judgment(usually in favor of innocence) after viewing the indisputably excellent "Paradise Lost".
