I don't know one way or another but it was pretty clear that there was a lot of shaky evidence and a lot of coerced confession stuff which definitely doesn't seem like justice. There was also a second season of that show where they brought in a much better lawyer (who specializes in exonerating false convictions) and showed some more significant problems with the prosecutor's case and also that the guy's defence lawyers were not the most competent (and IIRC also uncovered that the guy's brother in law had a collection of r*pe porn images on his laptop)
You'll enjoy the podcast for sure. Give it a listen.
I might. I'm not as big on the podcast format for true crime stuff. I much prefer the docu format. But it's okay, what I believe on the matter doesn't matter that much. I'll take your word for it that the podcast makes a compelling case for the other side.
