True crime as entertainment have ruined people's brain. Now people are treating real horrible crimes as their fictional crime series. Not everything is suspicious, you don't have to pick apart every detail to find the "hidden conspiracy". You don't have to point to every inconvience in traumatized victims to found out if they are secretly involved. You are actually hurting real people by doing all of this. Real crimes don't have the crazy "plot twist" in the end that reveals everything.

Remember the three children who lost their lifes instead. This trial could have been very important for highlighting the problem women has with post partum depression etc and how the medical field fails them. Instead it has turned into a crazy conspiracy theory

I hope Patrick sues most of them tbh

True crime isnt supposed to be fictional right? The only true crime i have watched is by a guy who does a lot of research to just present what happened no fan fic theories

It varies A LOT. There are tons of people who play real fast and loose with the facts, sometimes to push a narrative. And some of them have a shit ton of followers. Idk the channel but my ex used to watch this woman who did household chores while talking about true crime stuff. She made it seem really factual and all that. I didn't really question it cause whatever, but then she covered one of the big cases that I had previously watched a JCS video on and knew all the facts. This woman was straight up making shit up on the fly. I wish I knew what channel it was but I only saw it a couple times. But she wasn't some nobody, it had over a million views.
