Just watched, 'Capturing the Friedman's'. What an epistemological morass. Are the detectives right? Obviously one of them lies. Is the father innocent? Obviously he lies. Is the son truthful? Either he or his lawyer lied. What about the film itself? Is a documentary truth or fiction? I was only confident about one judgment, the alleged victim telling his story on the couch was not believable.

Has anyone here seen it? What were your thoughts? Here's the last paragraph from Wikipedia about the matter:

"On August 16, 2010 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied Jesse Friedman's bid to withdraw his guilty plea but said he was probably wrongly convicted and was pressured into pleading guilty to a crime he may not have committed because police, prosecutors and the judge in the case were overzealous and swept up in the hysteria of the times. One day later Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice announced that she will appoint a committee of her own assistants to re-examine the case and will compile a panel of experts in law enforcement, law and social science to oversee the prosecutors' panel.[9]"
