Rubbish

I remember watching this movie back after 1st trial when I was 11 back then I didn't know much about the case and thought this movie was really good. Fast forward to now this movie not true to the case and is utterly rubbish they don't show the family coaches and teachers testifying for them in court this is very much on the prostution side. If you want to see a better version watch the law and order true crime menendez murders 8 episodes. Especially if you have watch the actual full real trial.
