it's been a long time since I watched it.
From memory there was obviously porn in the house but who did it belong to? Laws in the US are very vicious for child porn.
my FBI comment was more a general one but they are unbelievably ruthless and have a habit of setting people up.
I'm going to track the film down on the net and watch again and report back. As I said..as a documentary it was great film making.

Unique circumstances for a documentary maker. They didnt strike me as too strange, more a typical American middle class and very mundane family.
As for evidence-the FBI are possibly more corrupt than British police.
Did you think the accused where guilty Hedda? I'm interested.

Seen it very strange family and lots shady evidence but still don't trust them.

Thanks for the heads up. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this tonight. Fascinating and tragic, dare I say a must see for some posters on this forum.
