What would have happened if this woman would just have gotten the help and therapy she desperately needed her entire life?
I think Netflix did a great job telling the story. The stories of the family members made me deeply emotional, my heart goes out to them. Another thing I liked was how the people involved were objectively portrayed, with nuance.
This makes me wonder though, did she really deserve the death penalty? I'm not questioning the fact that she did it and I'm not downplaying the fact that she committed murder. But it looks like she has disconnected from reality for quite a while which made her to act irrational, and she was living in a personal hell consisting of a web of her own lies. I do not know how she thought that this would get her out of that situation, but the fact is that she did. The more important question in my opinion, is why it is that she felt like she had to lie in the first place. Because from how Netflix portrayed it, it does not look like she did it for her own enjoyment or anything like that, but rather out of a fear of abandonment. Because as Wade said at the end, the only reason she did this was because she wanted him to say "I love you", which he never did.
What has happened to her in her youth that made her this insecure? What would have happened if she would just have had a therapist to talk to and work through these issues with? What would happen if we, as a society, make the political choice to stop focussing on punishing people after they committed a crime? And instead we offer the help that they require, preventing the entire crime in the first place? Those are the questions that stay with me after watching this documentary
