    I still get chills thinking about watching that when it aired. The weird burping and grunting and then the audio of him clearly staring at his reflection in the mirror. With the hot mic still going, he laid it all out there. *shudder*

      According to the Wikipedia, the audio in the documentary was actually edited, shuffled, and played out of sequence. Not that there’s any doubt about his guilt of course.

        I’m sure it was but I don’t know that you could make an argument against the ambiguity of “well, they got you. You’re caught.” And “what did I do? Killed them all, of course.” Those two things could come anywhere in between the rest and still be damning.

          Which is why I explicitly stated there’s no ambiguity. I’m just saying it wasn’t actually as dramatic as the docu might have made it seem.

              This is the difference between Reddit and Lemmy: any comment thread on Reddit ultimately has to end with 10 layers of argument but Lemmy comments are 2-3 moderately terse statements before polite agreement.

                I’m saying this in complete seriousness. I disagree so hard. This is the first interaction where I’ve questioned someone or agreed and they didn’t come back with insults or more arguments. Reddit is just as bad now but Lemmy is definitely no better.

                  Huh, I guess it just shows how different experiences can really shape perspective

                  And it all could have been avoided if you had read the comment you replied to before you started typing.

      Possibly one of the greatest TV moments, I was on the fence the whole series on whether this guy just had bad luck, and then he just laid it all out and the hot mic caught it, my wife and I were like “no fucking way!!” when it happened.
