Who Asked?

Who asked Gordon Gibbs, if he would mind being protrayed in a movie. Does anyone know where he is? How he is? How he feels about having had to leave his home town, because he was so very publicly accused and tried in the media for the horrible, heart breaking death of an innocent girl? Does anyone know how devesated his mental and physical health were affected and have been ever since? I wonder if Tim Nesbit, the big cop who keeps getting promoted very publicly knows? I wonder about the other victims left to on ther own because the police refused to look at anyone else.
How dare anyone put Gordon Gibbs, loving father, good man, victim of horrible policing, in a movie without even asking! Who benefitted from that? Not him.

I haven't seen this episode yet, but I did a little looking on the Gordon Gibbs ep you brought up:

Most of the article I can find completely gloss over Mr. Gibbs and his likely ruined life, going out of their way to compliment the police on eventually finding the killer.

After watching some of these episodes and other crime documentaries on Netflix instant, I'm wondering if police and prosecutors ever get the correct person.

I'm sure it's difficult, but it's not that they are just incompetent, they are malicious and single-minded towards who they think did it and it appears that they miss A LOT of the time.

Luckily there are these shows and documentaries that will get the innocent out of jail after 2 or 3 decades!! God help you if you are black.

I hope Mr. Gibbs and the countless others are doing alright, more victims, really. And as you said, Police are never held accountable.
