Since you're from the area, what are you feelings about him and his family, and how does the community feel about all of this now? Is this documentary making waves at all over there? This entire series makes it seem really clear that he and his cousin got majorly fucked over, and that they were basically robbed of their lives by (at least) one corrupt cop.
I can only say that my feelings before watching this were completely different from how I feel after finishing this show.
My familiarity with the case and family had been mostly limited to the narrative and info provide by the state and news outlets. By those accounts I could only come to an obvious conclusion of guilt. However, after finishing up all the episodes I'd be willing to say my opinion has changed completely due to the facts presented. Do I think he is guilty? I am not sure. I don't think we will ever know. Do I think his nephew is guilty? No. Do I think that enough questions were raised about how the case was handled to make a conviction questionable if not outright impossible? Yes. Is there evidence of corruption? Absolutely.
As I said I live about 45 minutes away so I don't really know what the "community" is feeling, at least not in terms of the residents of Manitowoc/Manitowoc County. There has been a lot of social media chatter and commentary regarding this release, but beyond that I haven't really seen much in terms of news/media coverage.
