    Friends don’t let friends hire hit men. Outside the operations of an organized crime syndicate, I don’t think that plan ever works.

    You can’t help but kind of feel for her.

    Edit To the person who down voted me. Her dad was controlling and abusive. I am not defending her but that doesn’t mean I can’t feel sorry for her.

      Yeah, I get what you’re saying. As a parent to a 5-year-old, it’s another example of “how not to raise your kid” that I could take notes from and avoid doing.

      Part of the problem is it’s hard to know if that’s actually the truth, or the defense she came up with post event.

      And even if it’s true, murder seems more drastic than moving out

        Well the wiki article did say that her friends considered her parents restrictive and oppressive. So I think it is fair to say here account is more or less true.

        And yea the girl had some problems, real problems. But most if not all could be tied to how controlling her parents were. Moving out would have been the better choice, but I would put money on her dad coming after her and dragging her home if she had done that.

        All in all this would have been easily avoided with just a little compassion.

      People are trashing it because apparently they used some AI to create pics of her, but I watched it and found it engaging. They used a lot of police interview footage, and that was all real, which I thought was a fascinating study as the story unfolded.

      I also appreciate that Netflix made it an hour and a half documentary instead of padding it into a three/five/ten part series.
