1) why did Jared bankowski not want a new DNA test at first and then demand one later? You'd think he would've jumped all over it from the get go.
2) why did Chris tell Bankowski that her dad was executed when he clearly wasnt? Was it to get him to open up to her?
**side note: I agree with another poster that the characters are unlikeable but I'm kind of hooked!
I thought the visit to her dad was a flashback?
shareI guess this is confusing. I thought that he was on death row, as she said, but that he just hadn't been executed yet...
Hrm.

Confusing, right? I thought that was a possibility but then she visits her dad after the execution and apologizes for not being there with him.

B) Also, Kucik said that he was secretly dating the girl that was killed. That girl was black. Kucik had Nazi/Aryan Nation symbols tattooed on him. I don't understand. Is he lying about the girl or did he have the tattoos so as to get protection in prison?
My thought is he joined the Aryan Nation after being in prison.
I do believe that the visits Chris had to her father were in the present. That's evidenced by her mentioning her cop boyfriend. Not sure if he's on death row though.
What was with Bankowski's mother? How did she get her money? And what did Bankowski mean when he asked her if "it was all worth it". The mother got so angry that she abruptly left.
Here's my take:
1. I think Mrs. Bankowski, Jared's mom, has been receiving payments in exchange for Jared taking the fall. As long as he didn't actively fight the conviction -- filing appeals but not really pushing for them -- the payments would continue. As he was nearing his end (and presumably the end of those payments), he could finally reveal the truth.
Why would someone pay, you may wonder? My theory is that the mysterious Third Person involved, the one who actually killed the family, was from a family that's rich or connected or both. Why were they there in the first place? Perhaps Jared believed they were sent to intimidate one of the only black families in a mostly white neighborhood into leaving; he had no idea it would devolve into murder.
2. You've hit it on the head: Christine said, after a slight hesitation, that her father had been executed to gain Jared's sympathy. I understand the impulse, but wondered for a split-second, "Is her dad in the same prison and on the same Death Row as Jared?"
That's a great theory on Bankowski's mom! I was thinking something along the lines of this but couldn't quite put it together. I think you might be dead on. Cant wait to watch the next episode!
shareI agree that she's probably receiving hush money. She was a poor and probably undereducated widow with no skills, so she probably saw it as a way to survive. And if her son had been a bad kid who had given her a lot of heartache, you can't blame her too much.
I wonder if Christine lied about being with her father when he supposedly committed the murder because she loved him so much and couldn't believe he was guilty.
