Stopped Watching After...

I looked up the case evidence, details, and public records online. The documentary doesn't show a lot of stuff, that is important. Damien burning classrooms, sucking other kids blood, and death threats to other students and fights. As well as him being marked as homicidal/suicidal. Now, even if he did do that stuff, it doesn't make him a killer. However, there is a woman who confessed to buying Miskelly alcohol the night the kids were murdered, and he mentioned that he was intoxicated in his confession. His interrogation was also two hours, not twelve as depicted.

they wanted people to feel sympathy to the three, which is why they kept information out. They had an agenda and their agenda worked. The guilt or innocence was never what the documentaries wanted to portray, they only cared about making the three seem innocent.

If that's the only extra information you have about them, that really doesn't flip the coin for me.
A teenager sucking blood (probably for what 3 seconds? Who knows), even burning a classroom, isn't prove of a murder.
It's your imagination who makes you think about it horribly but lot of teenagers do weirder or more violent things than that and aren't murderers.
They obviously didn't do it. You can know by only hearing them (jessie can't be too stupid to confess something he didn't do and very clever at the same time for sounding so sincere when he says he didn't do anything)
There is so much shadows in the confession process, that should and MUST have called for the benefit of the doubt.

A prosecution that goes as low as mentioning Metallica Pink Floyd and Stephen King as proves of one's evil character has obviously NOTHING in their case to convict this man apart from taking advantage of the extreme conservatism of the population.
