People keep attacking Making a Murderer more or less for not including the government's perspective (none of whom chose to participate)

@sarahjeong It's tough, because unless you go about recreating the investigation for each crime you're reporting, that's all you really have -

They confuse their unfamiliarity with the narrative-flip with a correct gut judgment about truth, falsity, and culpability.
