For a series centred around the important and challenging work of The Innocence Project – a non-profit aiming to bulldoze its way through wrongful convictions in the United States, while also campaigning for justice reform – a focus on Ted Bundy feels more than a little at odds.

 

But Netflix's new nine-part true-crime documentary The Innocence Files does just that, at least in its first few episodes, by revisiting a key detail from his infamous case.

 

Before we go any further, it is important to emphasise that there is absolutely no question to be raised when it comes to Ted Bundy's guilt. As one of the world's most notorious and talked-about serial killers, his reprehensible actions included violent assaults and brutal murders of at least 30 women and young girls (with the exact number believed to be much higher), and he destroyed and damaged many more lives in the process.

 

The series does not beg the question of his conviction, but does highlight the fact that his widely-publicised trial marked a shift in the prosecutorial system – the ramifications of which are still being felt today.

Watched it last night, and it was very well presented. Couldn,t believe the attitude of the main prosecution who put the wrong man in jail for the rape and murder of a young child. When it was proven beyond any doubt that the wrongly incarcerated man was NOT the man who raped the girl, he said "But that doesn,t mean he didn,t kill her" !! What a turkey ????
