Murder investigations

Cases filmed while still open, which is what makes them uneasy watching. The Staircase's director was in the house for years, The Jinx got a confession into a live microphone, and Making a Murderer was accused of leaving out what did not suit. Every one raises the question of what the camera did to the case.
